Hi I have a 91 ford exolorer that I built for wheeling straight axle swap lockers gears all the goodies here's my question I have both a 2nd and 3rd gen rolling chassis sitting in my lot with bad engines wondering if I can swap either of the front ends onto my first gen or can I just swap the whole body onto the frame and one ever done this before and can give me some heads up ??

I'd imagine up till 01' that the chassis is very similar to the early chassis; front torsion bars, rear leafs, etc. This is on the 97-01 models ive dealt with. Going that far, may as well include a EFI SBC engine.

Probably more time consuming than difficult. And back breaking if you don't have a lift.
