Hi CookeH

(Flaggy, sorry to hijack the thread).

I can get a subframe from a 2001 C70 2.4T convertible auto.
If I want to fit it into a late 1998 V70 2.5 NA auto, what will I have to modify?
Does the RHS mount depend on the engine or on the subframe?

If it would transfer across, I could keep the steering rack on the C70 subframe because I know it was recently rebuilt.

I'll do some googling to see what is involved in dropping the subframe - I've never done that before.

Thanks
Steve
