fb / ek front on a fe / fc

Post by FB wannabe »

Yeah, as title says I am wondering how easy a fb / ek complete front end would bolt up to a fe / fc holden. I am talking Y frames and all complete panels. I have found a fe / fc which is a bare shell and has nothing from the firewall forward and thought it would be really cool to combine the two together. Kinda like customising but using all factory parts. Obviously it's possible as we have seen an ek front and rear on a vn commodore, but was wondering if they will just bolt straight up or is there some (or lots) of work to get it on there.

Thanks

My guess lots! Scuttle area and tops of guards are significantly different.
