pajero chassis

[rheas]

Need help here. Pareho ba ang chassis ng pajero na may 4d56 engine at pajero 4m40? Im talking about the jdm generation 2 pajero. Same lang na 5 door ang body. Pareho ba ang chassis nito?
One more thing, pareho din ba ang mga suspension and everything underchassis? Engine lang ba talaga ang pinagkaiba? Please help. Thank you.

Magkaiba yung front crossmembers and engine support.
Iba ang transmission and transfer case.
Naka 1" body lift din ang 4m40 to clear the taller transmission on some models.

Ask woodfire, he did a 4m40 conversion on a 4d56 Pajero.

[rheas]

So ano ba ang dapat gawin kung sakaling chassis ng 4d56 ang gagamitin to fit the 4m40 engine, tranny and body?
We are trying to do this kse yung chassis na dumating from japan with the 4m40 engine is so rusty and we dont have any choice but to swap it with the chassis of the 4d56 pero sana pag nabuo walang pinagkaiba sa original na 4m40 pajero. Alam ko nga mas mataas ang body nito than 4d56.
This is the project car of my brother and im tryin to help him. Thanks for the help.

Why not restore the chassis? Sandblast and repair sections that need attention. Have a classic car restorer do it [e.g. Alex Car Restoration]. Wala pa kaming bad experience sa kanila.

Baka mas maging complicateded pa if gawin mong 'chopsuey' yung sasakyan.

Doc Otep could you kindly help me get in touch with Alex Car Restoration (contact # if you have) or any other reputable shop near Marikina. I noticed some rust on my paj's rear crossmember (the last one). Thanks in advance.

Sir otep, pls give the number or address of that shop. Hindi kya mahal magparestore? We are also thinking nga kung ipaliha nalang namin then turco, then primer, tapos paint. Ok rin kya yon?

[rheas]

hindi ba ok kung kuhain lang namin yung chassis ng 4d56 at dun namin ilipat lahat ng pang 4m40?

I think this is illegal (it's called 'ringing' in other countries).

Wala sakin ang number ng Alex.

But hey, if they can restore a '65 Mustang's chassis and body after years of rotting as junk, then they can do a relatively modern [but simple] Pajero chassis.

I'm not sure about price pero at least hindi mo na maisusugal ang safety and reliability ng sasakyan dahil sa experimentation.

since they don't exactly have the same mounting points and clearances (4d56 vs 4m40), baka sumakit lang ulo niyo sir. best to use the same one.

but then again, woodfire did a conversion, so hopefully he could post the details on this. :D

[woodfire]

for a quick and easier solution, why not do a frame-off restoration of the chassis? Meron yatang media blasting kina Alex Isip.

If you are adventurous, you can do a swap with some modifications especially the engine mountings. You will also have to transplant the 4M40 cross member, tranny, transfer case, propeller shaft, and rear drive axle.

Sir saan po ang location nila Alex Isip? Thanks.

Sir saan po ang location nila Alex Isip? Thanks.

sir Rheas..kung galing ka ng Quezon Blvd..go ka sa Roosevelt Ave. may mga auto supply doon mejo mag kakahilera sila ng shop ni Alex Isip before mag bridge (maliit lang ang tulay ) right side iyon shop ni alex..or kung galing ka naman ng Edsa & Munoz intersection drive ka lang sa Roosevelt Avenue papunta Pantranco pag nakakita ka ng Ice Plant malapit ka na at after ng bridge left side shop ni alex doon
or better pag tanong mo ang school ng PMI (Phil.Maritime Institute) along Roosevelt halos tapat na ng shop ni alex ito..Hope this help

[woodfire]

Alex Isip is the owner of Alex Restoration. They're located at Roosevelt Avenue, Quezon City. Doc. Otep should know the number kasi nagpagawa na siya doon. Alex is well regarded in the restoration market because he has invested heavily in equipment.

You can also try RED65 sa Tandang Sora Quezon City. It's owned by Eric Amoncio. Medyo low-tech nang konti pero magaling trumabaho yung mga tao niya. Try to PM him here (RED65) coz he posts from time to time.

[OTEP]

I'm still looking for the number. Baka dalhin ko yung Vitara dun.

[nugundam93]

ahhhh. sila ba yung may hummer H2 dun? near PMI nga yun...

Sir Rheas may i know where did you get your JDM 4m40 skeleton?Did it include its drivetrain and suspension?tnx
