k-member swap

I doubt it heh

The motor mounting bolts will probably be different, because of the different motors.

Wow, it must really be different if it definetly doesn't fit. What exactly doesn't make it work? Just curious.

3rd gen is strut and lower control arm
4th gen is coil over shock with double a-arms

Totally different.

Let's just say for sh*ts and giggles, we have all kinds of time and extra money and we all wanted to put all the front suspension (a-arms, k-member, brakes, etc) from a 4th gen into a 3rd gen just to be cool, could it be done with a welder and a plasma cutter?

Of course you could. You can do anything with $$$.
