I know a lot of people say just swap chassis' but I still think that's not the easiest way to go. To me anyway. I was looking again through a jy last week. Since the holes are already there, still looks easier to just take off nose, suspend motor, swap crossmember, steering box & shaft and spring mounts, etc. Regardless of how many rivets to remove. Then deal with tc and drive shafts. Most definately the way I'm probably going to do it and use a 91 grille & rad support setup while apart. Personally, I'd rather clip the chassis behind the leafs than swap chassis'. But I've done clip jobs before.

Gabe you can always try searching the boards.
