I currently have a 01 summit 700 with a bent tunnel and i recently picked a 2002 800 tunnel and bulk head. I have been told it should be a bolt in process besides the wiring does any one have any experience with this? Both are 151" as well. I have been told the suspension is bolted on a little farther back on the 02 chassis. any help will be appreciated thank you!!!

Swap

Everything is bolt and go except the track. You will now be able to run a 159" #9884 New Style Challenger with no mods. You will need 8T drivers to accommodate the 2.31 track # 9941 New Style Challenger.

If you keep the 151 you will need to mount the skid 3.78" forward.

The wiring is the same . Have done the swap a few times and it all is the same. The rails are different (as stated above ) 151 form a 01 turns into a 159 in a 02 because of the skid set back. So you will have to go to a longer track or find some 02 151 rails or 01 144 rails.
