Hi Crash,
Since 1993, The Piaggio Porter and the Daihatsu Hijet are build in Italy. Both are the same cars with just different manufactor stickers.
The Van and the Pickup engines are just slightly different. (e.g. the oil-filter is moved a little bit), so nothing to worry about.
The Gearbox of the Hijet is centered in the middle of the chassis, but the engine itselv is not verticaly, but kind of 45 degree build in. I can do some photos of it.
Cheers,
Daniel
