Will this work?
Just bought a rolling Evo shell - could i take everything from the scoob (engine, gear box, props & diffs etc) and put them on the evo shell?

I doubt it would go straight in. The way Evo engines are mounted are the same way a FWD car is, or thats how it looks. So I've always wondered if they have a gearbox on the side, and not down the middle of a car like a scoobs. So its possile the gearbox could be too long for the Evo shell. But I've only ever looked at the engine bay of an Evo breifly.

very much doubt it as the engine in the evo is transverse and a scooby is longditudale(how ever you spell it), you might be able to cut the scooby bulk head and floor out and stitch it in to the evo but it would be one hell of a mission??? not to say its not doable!

No. Not staight away. You'll have to engineer engine mounts, brackets and all sorts. Bit's will have to be cut away and bits will have to be welded in. Personally I wouldn't bother. It'll cost a fortune to do / have done. Would be much cheaper to buy a scoob shell to put all your bits in.

No. Indeed it was a good thought - however, it sounds like far too much ag - so we'll repair the scoob and get an engine and box for the heav-ho
Cheers guys!
