    I have a 53 Chevy BelAir and would like to find someone who has put a XJ6 Jag front suspension under a 53 Chevy. Have heard that this is a good way to go to get rack & pinion steering, disc brakes and bolt in suspension. I get real nervous when someone says that it bolts right in. I know I should turn and run as fast as I can. Therefor the reason for my request. Hope this is not a subject that been talked about alot.

    You might have better luck if you started a new post called something like, "Looking for info on Jag XJ6 suspension in 53 Chevy"
     
  3. Here is one, I know that there are probably more...
     
  4. Not a bolt in, but a couple of holes line up, pictures I've seen they add a wedge of plate to them to make them work. I've seen photos of the swap on Google on a 51 or 52, which is the same frame. It's also more common in Australia where the Jag is a more readily available option than a late model clip.
