hi all
i am going to do a engine conversion i was told $6000 will do it. but all i need to do is to get someone to cut the subframe and the rest i can do my self how much would it cost to get the subframe cut by a pro?
thanks

$6000 seems way to cheap, Brad 13secmini did his conversion & it cost him over 10K and he did all the work himself pretty much,

Talk to Mr Enforcer in regards to the subframe

PM minimad he'll happily tell you all about a starlet conversion (i assume thats what your doing) he's just gone through it all.

Good luck, i can't WAIT to see how it goes.

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

Find someone who's done one (legally), and be very nice them, and get a frame built at mates rates to the same spec as theres, that way you know it'll pass engineering with the same engineer.

6k will be like being up a S%#@ creek without the paddle, i dont think 6k will quite do it... Cutting the subframe has got to be the easier part of the subframe process??

Why dont you just buy one for sale?

I know where there is a Morris with a 4EFTE conversion already done, all paint and bodywork done with wheels etc for about the same price ($6,000)

This would be an easier route as most of the work has already been done.

Hi,

If you are thinking that you can do it yourself once it has been cut.
You must have welder and so on?
I think you can save cost more buy doing cutting yourself as well as making it.

All you nee to do is make a subframe jig as long as it keeps mounting to body fix, you can use anything....well, wood might not be good!

This was one I made with scrap tubes I found at my work.



Good luck
