this mod is a modification of the two frames for the bruckell nine i made for fun, and i thought that some of you would also enjoy having this option.
i did this mostly because i wanted to keep the old stock frames but make an overpowered crapbox bucket that bounces all over the place lol.

in this picture, i have my universal frame showing off the possibility of keeping the new custom frame advantages of the gutter drifter, but with the underpowered flathead.
And the old stock frame from the extended panel van with a new independent suspension, and engine swap with the old torque tube rear end.

please dont forget to swap the transmission if you want the new engines on the old rear end.

i switched the 2 frames to the new slot2 system which allowed both flathead and new engine swaps to be allowed on either frames, as well as the radiator to be swapped so you can have the high performance (and ultra) available for the older flatheads engines.
as well as allowing for the selection of the new custom front independent suspension on the "old" stock frame.
you can swap the higher power v8's as well on the old frame.
i added a modified transmission you NEED TO CHOOSE if you want the old driveshaft to properly connect to the new engine swaps transmission.
or else the rear end will easily break off and swing off.
the only thing it really changes is it adds the coupler tag so the driveshaft can connect...
it clutters the transmissions and i dont like it... but at least you have the choice if you want to.. id only put manuals if it were me lol.

Known BUGS:
New engines on stock frame is loose, missing proper engine mount bracket.
the swap of radiator creates a mismatch of hose location.
the driveshaft length when mixing engines arent perfect.
few things arent perfect
on old frame you can put both radius arm beam axle suspension.
overall this mod actually surprised me at how stable it was, and im wondering why the devs havent made all engines available on all frames.
