Re: need some tips on putn a camaro subframe on 57 chevy pickup
For all of the measurements I bought the DVD from No Limit engineering. They are a premium sponsor here too so can probably help you better if u buy the DVD and still have questions... Best money I have spent yet on my build.
You can also run the weary feature on subframe swap, theres like a dozen subframe threads Good luck! The conversion is a rewarding one! Posted via Mobile Device |

I did a subfram swap on a 57 a couple of years ago and I almost went the same way as Nolimit, but for my taste, it sits way to low when done. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...amaro+subframe
I did the swap by follwing this post on HAMB, and it was awesome when I was done! |

when I did the No-limit install my subframe was at the same level as the original frame, the method you mention, and also similarly shown by the post below yours, have the subframe sitting above the original frame, thus the wheels will be higher in the wheel well, dropping the truck front end.

Maximus,
You are correct it does make the truck lower (installing the clip under the frame) than the no limit way (even with the frame rails) because it does not have the kick up like when you install the clip with the unibody supports under the frame. I don't like getting in debates so I did not say anything, but since you said it first I thought I'd chime in.lol By the way there is no such thing as too low.lol |

Re: need some tips on putn a camaro subframe on 57 chevy pickup
I stand corrected on the height issue after taking a peek at both methods.
|
Re: need some tips on putn a camaro subframe on 57 chevy pickup
But for some reason my truck didn't seem to sit as low in the front as the no limit way. These trucks look good with a bit of a lowered stance, but IMO there is a point when it looks retarded.

If you get offended that easy, perhaps you should be on the Discovery web site tonight voting for Paul Jr because it hurt your feelings that Jessie James cheated on Sandra. |

The gentelman (original poster) asked for the facts. The fact is installing the clip with the unibody supports under the frame will give you a lower stance (with stock components) than if you installed it even with the frame rails. Its up to the original poster to decide what he is going to do now that he is armed with the information. Quote:

You can buy your coil overs and panhard bar separate if that helps with the funds. I know it did with me.
