Post by: Jockster on December 28, 2002, 12:23:44 PM Castlemaine Rod Shop put out a Chassis kit for Fc's to strengthen the torsional rigidity of the body. It is welded into place effectivelly linking the front y-frame mountings to the rear spring hangers. Different kits are available depending upon which motor/gearbox set-up you want to run. I have one in my car running a red 192 and four speed M20 and my mate has on in his Van which is runnning Chev 350/Turbo 350, the V8 kit comes with an extra bracing pack and different rear gearbox cross member.

you are in WA right?....I've just finished putting a Hadfield chassis in my FC (all bar the welding). I'm in Rockingham, feel free to come and have a look if you want. I'm going away on hols from Mon 30/12 for 10 days, but before or after that is fine... alternatively, there are some pics of the bits at... http://photo.starblvd.net/fcfromscratch ...under the "Chassis" category... my chassis came with a modified tailshaft, new uni's and an adapted speedo cable, freighted across for about $600 (plus/minus)... regards....Brad Title: Re: Full chassis for fe/fc ?

no problems, my phone is 9592 8161. my experience is very limited, but we've got the beginnings of an FE/FC Club happening here in WA just now, so there will hopefully be more opportunity to tax their knowledge in matters FE/FC. in the meantime, there's many people with experience of V6 and V8 conversions available through this forum....they are very approachable and helpful for anyone with a love for these old cars..... regards....Brad |
