IIRC, the syncro engine and tranny sit lower relative to the frame and body to accommodate the tank and leave what limited room there is around the slave cylinder and starter, etc. I think it is about a 1.5" difference. The 2WD engine mounts or engine cradle or something would have to be modified to make this extra space that is created for the Syncro tank.
