Title: HR Front end Post by: jasonr70002 on December 01, 2009, 04:02:25 PM Hey all just wondering if it is possible to make a mount on the subframe for the HR front end instead of buying an outrigger and just run the original outrigger.

Rods Racks I think do make one for the upgrade. Give him a call. Cheers Craig Title: Re: HR Front end Post by: mcl1959 on December 01, 2009, 09:35:22 PM The original outrigger is way to low and would look wrong sticking out the bottom of the car

Pedro Title: Re: HR Front end Post by: hrpremier on December 03, 2009, 12:28:14 PM I am installing a V6 into my FC Sedan and purchased an outrigger off ebay what is designed to be used when putting a HR front end int a FE - EH Holden. Only welded outrigger onto hr front end last week and installed it over last weekend. I also have installed the HR swaybar and it had plenty of clearnece. I am going to have to alter the sump and pickup from the v6 , but I also believe a sump for such a job can be purchased from the likes of CRS or Pat Gardner etc. The quality of the item was very good and fitted onto the frontend without any hassles. Just had to make sure it was square and central to the HR front end. The ebay seller was prompt in the delivery also.

This is what the repro one is modelled on.
