Dear All,
I have been offered a lwb sIII with a sound 6 cylinder petrol engine & straight body work but a knackered chassis. I have access to a broken lwb sIII (for free) with a not too bad (well, repairable anyway) chassis but it originally had a (long since snaffled) 4 cyl diesel lump on it. My question therefore is this: Will the 6 cylinder lump fit onto the decent chassis? The reason i ask is that Paddocks sell a different chassis for a 6 cyl than for a 4 cyl. I need to know if it's doable & if so how much extra work it would be before i decide how much to offer for the V6 with decent body panels etc. Many thanks, G.
