Re: To "chop" or not?

If you have the ford box and kit,i would be fitting it along with the 1275 engine.2" cut from the tunnel can always be put back. Modify a spare handbrake lever and fit that. Failing that fit the 1275 with the moggy box,that will just slip in with no probs. It's your car. Learn from the past,don...

Re: Lowering a car even further...

Even with uprated marina torsion bars you still can't go too low.
you need a bigger spring rating i.e Coil overs,and that a'nt cheap.

As hotrod13 says, it does look cool.

Re: To "chop" or not?

i have ran my moggys with an ital engine and 5 speed box and on to a marina rear axle for over 10 years.
