Your best bet would to to talk to Mal Wood, I'm sure they would be able to come up with something.That being said, you are probably better to get away from the old school boxes, great for their time, but the amount it's gonna cost you to have everything fabricated your best option is a T56 conversion. Even if it is going into the XF in your avatar. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/67836-top-loader/#findComment-1004143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom im guessing. I hope $$$$ isnt a problem.....X member will be custom too, but not overly hard to fabricate. Mal Wood will want to steer you towards a T56.
