Looks good

Cant fault your decision to fit a z cars front subby, at least you know it will handle better than a mini version,

good luck with the build

cheers

Wow that Zcars subframe looks impressive, i didn’t know zcars made front subframes for Vauxhall engines!, can I ask what alternator and the ampere of the alternator you are using? im trying to find a small one for my Vauxhall conversion but don’t know which cars have a small alternator.

I want to see some more pics of your conversion looks a good one

Regards

is your engine solid mounted to that zcars frame?

is your engine solid mounted to that zcars frame?

looks like thay have used there standard engine mounting bushes where the engine mounts bolt to the subframe

[Jammy]

Looks like they've used the standard front subframe, but used much wider bottom wishbones (obviously because of mounting problems).

Makes it quite tempting to hack mine to bits and stick a Honda engine in there...

[The Matt]

This looks interesting!!!

Can I ask what you've done with the top subframe mounts? I assume the Z-cars frame uses tower bolts type fixings, where I assume your shell (being a 1971 I assume) would have had a twin bolt type subframe (two bolts per side)???

[maph2]

i wonder how long those small bushes will last, theres only 3 mounts yes?

[shedspeed]

we will have to see how long the bushes last there is only 3
