Why not just go with an aftermarket independent front suspension kit? Many of them are bolt on or close to it. I've never seen the reason people do frame swaps or the camaro/nova subframes. The end result always looks half engineered and many people would never consider buying somthing that has been modified in such a way.

Yeah the up front cost is more, but the end result is worth it. In my opinion anyway.

If you are just wanting to get the front lower you could use a dropped front axle and they make disc brake conversions for the stock front susp. as well.
