Next lot of silly questions.
I am sure the manuals would probably tell me this, when I get them, but while I am waiting for that info I have been reading posts here for educational purposes but there is some general info that I have not yet seen discussed in depth.

I understand the ford V8 engine is the same as used in the CMP trucks apart from some sump and minor differences depending on the year but.....

Is the Ford 4 speed gearbox in the carrier the same as the gearbox in the CMP Ford blitz trucks? (Do they operate a separate transfer case to get the 4WD function??) Or is it a separate model of "truck" gearbox that is used in the carrier?

Will the trucks radiator work in the carrier with its more restricted air flow? I know the lower outlets are not in the correct position but is there anything else that prevents the truck radiator from being usable, or is the carrier radiator a specific animal that needs to be sourced?

I am sure I will have other questions as time goes on.
