i have just bought a space-frame chassis for a kit car and it takes sierra running gear
what i want to do is eventually run a cossie 2wd lump in it.
but for the mock up and running in i will be using a pinto lump.
will using a xr4i or 4x4 suspension be up to the job of handling a cossie lump when i am finished.
are the hubs the same for the cossie and lesser models? (i will be running wilwood brakes and big calipers anyway)
can i fit the rear axle and just upgrade the diff when needed for something that will handle the power?
are the driveshafts all the same?
when i fit the bits all the bush`s will be powerflex or similar
sorry for so many questions,i just don`t want to get a donor car for the mock up then send the chassis to be powdercoated and find cossie bits won`t fit.
thanks for your help

All the mounting points are the same , essentially . 2wd and 4wd parts have small differences, you cant interchange the front hubs and dampers for instance ,and 2wd diffs dont fit in 4wd beams , but for what you need any Top end Sierra will be fine .
