The cross members are located differently than a MK III due to the needs of the 5.0 engine, the sump used and the catalytic convertors that needed to be packaged in the car. As well as the transmission mount being in a different spot than the top loader.
While there is some Frua DNA in the MK IV, it is NOT a "shortened MK IV!" For whatever reason you didn't like your MK IV, many do. Many would also question your "redesign" of the Frua. You are making a great car out of it but it will no longer be what AC sold it as. Who is right? Everybody! It is yours and do with it what you will...............
So, do you want to restomod or restore your car? When applied to a relatively common car the former certainly improves every aspect of the vehicle. When applied to a rare car, it may improve its performance but it certainly kills its soul. But you are right... to each his own!
