hi and thanx, ive been in touch with qld transport they said to talk to an engineer i spoke to several engineers and they  said no and yes but only with  253 one didnt know.   Im handy with a welder and i want to do my own chssis/crossmember so i was going to use a hq-z tunnel nd sub frame weld that into place then join up front crossmember with rear  chassis rails welding the new subrame into it as i go therefore im using a factory holden gearbox mounts etc this would avoid to many problems with transport bout the new tunnel rather than making my own if that makes sense! if anyone has pix of their own conversions it would b gr8 like weldin points for rack steering and wot components to use same with hq brakes wot do i have to do to the stubs to make em fit
