Subframe/K-frame Compatability??

Postby dans ef1 » July 2nd, 2009, 9:15 pm

Hi just wondering if anyone has tried fitting a Kframe from a BA to a e-series, this is for a possible DOHC conversion in an EF. If anyone has any info or knows if this does or does not work let me know, however I have lined up a ford wrecker that is wrecking BA next week so I might go along and take some pics! ;-)
Along the same lines if a BA kframe fits would that need engineers approval, or would it be ADR approved?
I am aware that as a whole the conversion would need Certification.
:good:


Cheers Dan

i have the front part of the two in :D half way there :D

Hows your welding skills? you need to relocate the crush tubes in the rails to suit the BA cross members.
If you use everything BA the engineer i have been talking to is happy to sign it all off :D
