Suspension subframe being Kframe and original mounting points being the 2 bolts ea on LH and RH chassis??

No. Torana's are monocoque chassis.

Why do you want tube control arms?

Ohhhhhh and your guna use a torana front end. No offence intended. Its each to thier own and budget. What car is it? I do abit of work for a mate who has a hotrod shop and you see that type of thing from time to time but in my oppinion it doesnt look right, even with tube control arms torana front ends are just ugly. Is there enough in the budget to use a complete southern chassis works fromt end?they look soo much neater in a fenderless car. And you still use torana rack and gives you better choice of brakes.
Like i say im not trying to offend you just a sugestion
Good luck with it mate.

Depending on what chassis youve got you can buy a front end that will bolt or weld straight in. Jump on my profile and look at my hatch in the vehicle section. Thers a couple of pics of my front end. Just a thort, my mate just fitted one to a mustang and we not long ago built a 31 model A pick up for jack daniels as a promo give away car and it had one of these front ends to. I realise your in perth but im sure if you were keen we could sort something out

yeah cool there a good looking rocket,(minus IFS lol sorry) The good old I beam would be less work and probably cheaper tho wouldnt it? get an original axle dropped or buy a so cal 4' drop one, alot of guys use hq rotors with vr-vs commodore calipers which look kinda cool cos the are sorta finned.Buy hair pins or split an original wishbone, a set of perch bolts and a spring and off you go, depending on weather or not youve already chopped it up most the stuff should be there already. I started building a 38 ford pick up awhile ago but had to sell it to fund other stuff. Ill try and find a pic or 2.
