Yeah.. these cars don't really have a body on frame style of construction. They're more of a body which incoporates some frame rails of sorts, and then to which a front subframe which houses the steering and suspension components and to which the engine mounts to that connects to the body. And then in the rear, the connections for the rear axle are all connected to the body/frame, and not really interchangeable with 140 series stuff. That being said, you can switch around the engines as you please basically, and you can probably swap front subframes with some custom work. I haven't heard of anyone doing it on a 122, but i have on 544s and such, so yeah. A thing to pay attention to though would be that they have different wheel bolt patterns, and if you swapped the front, you'd probably want to swap the rear end or something if you want it to match as well. I can't help you too much with swapping parts and what not, and what swaps easily and what not, but I think I laid out at least some useful information for you and other people to build on... Good luck! Feel free to ask any questions and I'll tell ya what I can =D.
Peace!
