A few years back I bought a 68 wagen sitting loosley on an irs pan.
Go to put the motor in and yeah no crossbar mounts!
Is there a fix or is this bad?

You will need to put mounts on the body or convert a swingaxle subframe to IRS and use that.

Weld mounts or change subframe which is bolt in.

So I had a scout around and we have a few wide 5 straight axel type 3's to choose from as donors,
will this subframe bolt up to and replace the irs but then I'm left with a wide5 drum and 4stud disk up front!
Anyone done the weld in mounts which seems the best but not much structure to weld to?
