In the begining the car came to us with a strait 6 cylinder!



We pulled it out!!



And built our own motor mounts and tranny mount!

Cool swap.

What's the box thing on the upper control arm is that the shock absorber or something?

cool looking swap, I am curious about the upper a-arm thing as well, also, it looks like you could pay for the swap by recycling that radiator, that thing is huge!

Resurrecting a very old thread. I wonder how this thing performed? An Austin Sheerline weighs two solid tons! . I was looking on line for a Sheerline chassis...
