It must be that the torque tube in the V6 4hp sedans is longer
than the torque tube in the N9T 4hp sedans.
Therefore the 4hp SW torque tube would have to be lengthened
by the difference between the torque tubes of the N9T and V6 sedan
to maintain the proper position for the V6 in the SW.
Whether this is the same as the difference between the 4hp22 SW
and the 3hp22 SW is something worth knowing to anyone contemplating
the V6/SW conversion.
Most likely the 3hp SW torque tube is too long making it the ideal candidate for
the job as shortening is way easier than lengthening.
The drive shaft from an N9T or V6 would be the best candidate as they
are beefier than the lower powered cars but would probably have to be lengthened.
The torque tube bearing would have to be from an N9T or V6
to match their bigger diameter drive shaft.
Is everybody still following?

Hi, if you used the cradle (front crossmember etc?) from a donor V6,
wouldn't the engine sit in the 'factory' V6 forward position ? What
was the orig tranny in the body shell ? Most V6 conversions have
engine to firewall space problems if the engine is put in the same
position as the 4-cyl ones. The bell housing of the 4HP22 sits way
behind/under the firewall looking at it from the engine side on the
4-cyl versions, so when the V goes in there the rockercover hits on
the circumference of the trans tunnel. Hence ,moving the tranny back
seems to be an unusal approach to me !! Interesting that you have
got tired with it - I can understand that, even after me being amazed
at the get up & go of the V6, one becomes accustomed to it quickly.
(But still noticing the cars trailing into the distance in the rear
view mirror when at traffic lights !!)
Come to think of it, maybe the space issue is not a problem on LHD
versions - our RHD ones have the air handler stuff over on the 'port'
side, that is the usual area of interference.
