Hi,

I have a 1972 round nose and I want to fit a 2ltr 8v engine, can any one tell me do I have to mod the body work ? plus where do I get a subframe from, plus any help from those that have done it and any problems, I want to use it for track days.
Many Thanks

Not sure on the first bit, but with regards to subframes, Allspeed are the place to go.

I think it can be done without modding the bodywork but you may have to cut the inner wings?

Note: can you reply to my pm please re the transfer :trooper:

Hi,
Thank you for the photo´s looks good, did you do it yourself ? was it easy did you have to mod many things ? sorry for so many questions just trying to get a good idea what I´m getting into before I start, could I also ask are you happy with it or do you wish you had gone 16v ?
Many Thanks
