Front Cross member 69Mk1

[zien49]

Hi all
To day I removed a V4 2L eng, fitted to a auto gearbox from Mk1 75 transit has it is a scraper, I decided to cut out the front cross member just to make it a lot better to do the job. Having got the lump out I have got to thinking that it looks easy to make a cross member that you can remove and refit to the front. Has any one done this? I am going to fit the lump into a 69 body that had a diesel fitted I have to make new engine mountings so it can be done at the same time.

not sure if you would have problems with the MOT as its a vital part! but you will find if its going in a diesel front they have loads more room you shouldnt need to!

crossmembers not an issue when swappin engines only if you go from perkins to di because perkins one is different
