sigma into scorpion?

[nikmag2]

A 79 scorpion rolling shell has come up for sale in tassie, I'm thinking of getting it and transfering my engine and box out of my 81 sigma, is this as simple as it sounds or will it work at all?

A Scorpion is a 2 door Sigma, so it would be a straight changeover. If you still have the BW gearbox in the Sigma ,the yolk on the Scorpion tailshaft may be different. (I think the spline count is different.)

There are some differences, but most are minor and easy enough to get around. Biggest issues would obviously be if the gearbox you intend to use is a Borg Warner. As mention there are differences in the tailshaft, but also in the speedo cable too. On the engine side of things the oil pressure sender is different, along the the ignition/dizzy setup.

I'm waiting on the guy to send me pics of the car, its over 2 hours away, apparently everything is there bar the engine n box, my sigma needs a lot of body work to get right, the scorpion may be an easier fix.
