absolutely not.
The aussie engineers redisgned all the alloy k-frame and front end.
except...the AWD Magna used an Evo 6 and Evo 7 front differential assembly .
But this ain't a Magna although it shares a lot of design philosophy...
have a look here....http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/A658DD896430EE8CCA256D65001CE98F |

Floor pan completely,utterly different, wheelbases different, anchor points different, the auto transmission and transfer case bolted up to the 6G75 with just some grindind of the 6G75 block.
It was a complete waste of time me pursuing the Magna AWD example.
Even the steering rack is all wro-o-o-ong.

Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | Got the bits from the US today....plenty of things not as expected..
But the bulk of it is okay is okay.
shiny one is the endeavour rear axle..dirty one is the 380 for comparison
