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

Hi Foxtrot3,
I plan to fit a 347 Windsor to the Zephyr when I get her back to Melbourne, I was considering fitting an FG 6, but I love the V8!. I've heard about using commodore struts, but not sure about the K frame. Does the Zephyr K frame need to be changed over to a VL commodore K frame to suit the V8? I'm looking for advice, as this is my first build. I love the Mk 2 Zephyrs!
Cheers,
Tez
