Is there any difference between a V8 and 6 cylidner crossmember / subframe for a HT (or HK / HG for that matter)? My HT monaro has a HK premier subframe which I want to change back to a HT subframe (may be able to source one from a HT ute). Will the cross member from the HK subframe fit to the HT subframe? Thanks.

No, 6 and 8 are the same. Crossmembers will interchange between HK and HT/G. Id use the HT crossmember though, but make sure its not a real early HT, later is better as they have better geometry (upper control arms mounted 15mm or so higher).

No, AFAIK in some States you could get a V8 HT Monaro with drums, but all GTS got discs. HG was disc brakes standard with a V8.

I am in Queensland - any idea where I could get the information about which states had the HT V8 with drum brake fronts?

Ben Stewart will know or Warren might also know. I got the States bit out of the Monaro Story. I thought discs as standard on V8 started in HG but I noticed Ben and Warren make the statement that it started in HT in some States.

If its what I think you mean that is standard for HT and HG (except for a few Chev manual HTs) and it is where the gearbox crossmember bolts to. The brackets arent bolted on though, but welded or part of the front subframe.
