if you can weld and have the measurements it would be a piece of cake there have been plenty done

The kit that I got had :
- two main chassis rails, "U" channels secured with bolts through the existing support rail at the front and welded to chassis just in front of the forward rear spring hanger bracket.
- Gearbox mount
- Tailshaft loop
- Sub-frame connectors, bolt up to the subframe and then the "U" channels on the main rails.
I think the V8 kits have a plate to weld to the bottom of the HR front-end too.
This is a DIY Kit, so if you are handy with a welder and/or are getting the car engineered you could do a lot better.
A search of the site should turn up some pics, there have been plenty over the years.
