If the 109 frame is good keep it, it will same you a lot of time. If not stretch a rangie chassis and make mounts to fit the 109 tub. this is not terribly difficult, but it needs to be done right. then to fit the motor under the hood, you will need to move the radiator back and switch to an electric fan setup. I thought about this with my hybrid, but decided to get a defender front end, because the mechanical fan is more reliable. with the other front end, you don't need to move the motor and trans back and change drive shafts.
