It does not look like anything from the MP-9 will work with the older cars.
I converted a mugen MBX5 once, and used the stock shock towers with Ofna body mounts and a modified front bumper.
You will however need to do some milling for the 2 speed if you plan to use it. I had some custom made motor mount blocks made so I could use a shaft start system. I think the GT2 mounts are standard type now, so that is not an issue.
Unless you plan to race, any engine you want.
Have fun.
thanks a bunch!
I have a big stack of old, moldy 1/8th buggies ready to be converted...
shalom and God Bless!
