Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi there , I bought what I thought was a good 1966 moggy but when it arrived it was rotten , but a good engine , well after a good underside sandblasting a lot of cutting and welding the shell is now good , I want to do something a bit different , I have a Ford 1600gt cross flow engine . Can someone tell me please will they fit without taking the very front crossmember away and then welding something else in after. Thanks.

If you google images of Morris Minors fitted with 1600cc Ford cross flow engines plenty of images will pop up.
Good luck
