As far as I know they're slightly wider and of course they're five stud, which would mean different wheels front and back.
cheers

And most likely a nasty heavy 7.5" diff too. I've heard the hubs and bearings are all bigger too. Stick with sierra.

If in a scrapyard, take a look under a frog front scorpio, 4 stud wheels, rear end looks delicate and very useable, the rear uprights look ideal for
an IRS setup
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Still a 7.5" in a bugeye scorp and the same trailing arm design as all the rest - but yeah they are back to 4-stud for some reason. An even
later bugeye scorp will have a horrible rubber bush mount growing sideways out of the rear diff cover - uuurrrghhh!

I have a bugeye 24v scorp at home right now and can confirm that the rear hubs are the same as sierra, but the carriers are different in that they are
like the cossie ones with longer caliper ears to suit the bigger discs fitted. I know this because we swapped a load of parts over when the scorp
destroyed a wheel bearing and hub.
I think (is this right Liam?) that the scorp also uses the bigger (2wd cossie style) lobro joints (???108mm vs 100mm pcd??)
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
