Default Re: 1958 zephyr ute mk2

Hi. I did the commodore struts, front K frame (its a bit more involved than just a crossmember) and diff with the 4 wheel disc brakes (all from a VL) A 2 inch spacer on the top of the holden strut was enough to get a good ride height and move the top of the strut out far enough to get the alignment spot on. Ride was very firm compared to any zephyr bue it needed to be as you lost 6 inches of suspension travel in the front end. At least I kept the 302 windsor in it. Run a ford V8 or if it has to be a 6 try to squeeze an AU motor in, the old XE 250 x-flow does fit in the MK3 so the AU should go in as well. Cheers MD
