Default Do i need keep anything from the front sub-frame

:I just got the engine and trans out of my Miata and a guy is coming this weekend to pick it up. The front sub-frame is still attached, do i need to save anything for the LS install? I've ordered the V8-Roadster install kit but it's not here yet so I don't know if anything will be transferred over.

Are you selling the entire front assembly suspension and all? You obviously need the steering rack and mounting brackets, and all the control arms and eccentric bolts.

sorry I should have provided more information. No all of the suspensions parts have been removed, all that's going is the engine, trans, and the frame the engine is bolted to. There is a cross brace that's bolted to the sub-frame at the rear Should I keep that and do I need any thing from the engine or trans?

Since you have an NB, your water temp sending unit will work fine, and you will need your oil sending unit. That being said, they are about 6 bucks a piece at the parts store so I am just putting new ones on my car.

I don't think that cross brace will fit under the t-56, but hell grab it anyways and give it a try.
