Relax...most of it will bolt straight up including almost all of the body. Check out some of the workshop manuals...they have full chassis diagrams with dimensions, etc.

if and 2 f are almost identical except for oiling, cylinder head (i think) and maybe bore/stroke.
but engine mounts line up, gearboxes should bolt up.

think your bang on the money there B_R_au. 2F is just a revised F.
its only an offroad basher anyway. drill new holes for your gearbox crossmember if you have to. engine should line up.
