you can use either set of manifolds.

you need to change the thermostate housing

transfer oer the hwole front end
you'll need the suspension, shocks and struts as well as the tca's and crossmember as well as the rack and the intermidiate shaft

basicly, undo the top mounts from inside the engine bay
undo the crossmember from the chassis rails
get the abs pump etc out tooundo the gearbox x member
and the arb mounts
pull the prop mount off too
undo the prop from the diff
everything slides underneath the 3 door
a bit of jigger pokery with the gearbox mounts and it's all done

you will also need to bodge about with the loom for the abs as the 4wd abs does different hings to the 2wd abs so brain across too

thats about it

for those of you who know what diff ratios there are, you might also need to swap the rear diff over too, but that means the whole lot of the rear axle as the 3 door has a 7.5 inch diff while the 4x4 has a 7 inch diff, and no you can't just wap the diff over as the driveshafts and cv's won't fit into the 7 inch from the 7.5 as the bigger one uses a 108pcd while the 4wd uses a 100 mm pcd
