Making that swap would solve a bunch of problems associated with my V8 engine swap as it would move the steering box and I could use a power steering box and maybe a hydroboost for the brakes too.
I know some of the bigger one like school buses I once worked on had torsion bars and that probably wouldn't work but the ones with coils might. I suspect that the front track would be wider but how much?
