60Patrol

OK scrap that last question, There is a list of parts in that Link that Johnny provided.. Most of that should be attached anyway... hopefully?

Goodo, i shall check that link out now, thanks.
Fairly sure i read somewhere that I shouldn't have to notch out the cross member, but then again maybe it wasn't talking about a SWB? lol

So been doing allot of thinking and researching and whatever else, and for the moment i think my best bet is to keep the P motor as there is hardly anything wrong with it, why throw away a good motor? and just go for a Marks 5 speed, If i'm able to find one in good enough condition that is.
