It seems like it's more work, especially if you're not swapping all the suspension over? | Dropping the whole front subframe with the suspension attached is more work since you're not doing the suspension. It would be easier to do the engine & trans as a single unit for your swap. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
