I'm looking for advice, as this is my first build. I love the Mk 2 Zephyrs!
Cheers,

Hi. The zephyr never had a K frame to start with, just a 2 inch tube cross member to support the engine and the lower control arm inner pivot. Fore and aft movement of the outer end of the lower control arm was by the sway bar that had a pivot under the front of the chassis rail. If they have put a complete commondoor front end in it they will have needed to have used the holden K frame to mount the lwr control arm inner pivots to and to mount the steering rack off. With the K frame, like the zephyr cross member you can use almost any front sump windsor or early 250. You would need to check sway bar clearance with the holden front end and must a left hand starter to clear the steering rack. Cheers MD
