you can use the crossmember, engine mounts, steering rack, props, diffs, rear shafts if you have the 2.9

if you have the 2.0 then you can use the gearbox, but not the diffs as they are different ratio's

the front non cossie shafts are about an inch longer so they bind up in their stops

the cv's are the same though

Quite a few people have fitted the longer xr shafts to lowered cossies due to the camber and problems when on full lock

parts that are the same are

engine cradle
engine mounts
front and rear diff
rear driveshafts
front driveshafts are longer but will work fine
front and rear prop are the same(only early 2.9 and 2.8 used a skinny front prop)
rear beam will be ok, only difference is hubs are taller and bushes( fine if you go cossie hubs and poly bushes)
abs pump is the same
