BJ60 body/engine on HDJ81 frame

[Kvacke]

Hey there.

As the title mentions, is it possible to take the BJ60 engine/body and put it onto a 1995 HDJ81 80 series frame?

How much work are you willing to do?

 

[Gimme a 60]

Yes.

Be more specific. J60 body on a J80 frame has been done many times before.

If you are a good enough fabricator, you can put any body on and frame.

How much work are you willing to do?

Good question. There are a few options on the table.
1. Lift the body off of the current frame and cut/replace the back of it
2. Try this HDJ81 frame and modify it (unsure how much work this is, hence I am asking)
3. Patiently wait and hope BJ60 frame goes up for sale in my area
