ya that would be a ton of work and money, plus who knows for how long all your jimmy rigs would hould, but if you got the time and money go ahead.
It may be a little work, but not a whole lot of money. Most of the rear end parts from the slash can be used with the replacement tranny. I already have the tranny and engine, probably the most expensive part of this conversion if one started with nothing. I would need some 7075 aluminum plate for the chassis and then it's fabricating time. I don't see this as an expensive job at all. Making engine mounts would be a breeze. I may need to pick up some miscellaneous parts for the rear (shock tower, suspension arm mounts, etc), but those are cheap parts.
My work doesn't involve "jimmy rigs", so I wouldn't have to worry about anything not holding
