MA61 into MX83 swap

[hazkell]

I have a MA61 that has pretty good running gear... I like MX83 cressidas..... You can buy parts for em......... How much stuff will bolt right up from the MA61? Will the shifter come up in the right place? will i need a custom tailshaft? Can i bolt R33 brakes straight onto the MX83?

sorry for all the questions... but this is the right place to ask em......

maybe try searching ,

If you are talking running gear, then basically nothing.

Obviously the engine/gbox will bolt up, but you'll need MX83 mounts, different shifter position (unless you want to cut the floor). Sump is the same.

Suspension - no.
Tailshaft - no.
Brakes- search.

hmm, thats all i wanted to know, cheers guys. Sweet i wanted to use my sump, as i have a custom 7 litre one...

That doesn't mean its going to clear the crossmember.
It should clear, but it may not. The crossmembers are different.
The factroy sump is small, and fits no worries, but a bigger one may be issues.
