Default ap1 to ap2 complete makeover

is it possible to take everything from an ap2 and put it in an ap1?? reason is because I blew a connecting rod and most likely the motor is gone. i found a donor ap2 06 with good engine but body damage. I'm thinking of swapping everything over. motor vsc etc... sorry for the noob question.

yes..it is possible!
i think the chassis is nearly the same..
so far...i only know 2 things you have to modify before putting them all together
the front crash bar have to be shave or cut a bit if you are to use the ap2 bumper
the tail light, i think you have to cut a hole or make it larger..since ap2 taillights are different
you can search the forum..there are a lot of threads talking about the conversion

The taillights are different so the body cutouts in the chassis are different. No big deal, just need a saw to make the holes bigger.

not totally true...you can use an ap1 ecu with an f22c, most use the 00-01 ecus because it runs richer, however, myself and a few other members run the 02-03 ecu solo or with VAFC of some type....
