Re: camaro subframe vs drop axle an disc brake setup
They do work a lot better on Task Force trucks than on AD trucks.
This Thread on the Hamb has pretty well become one of the main go to threads for the Task force/Camaro swap. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=148978 He details it out pretty well and had done a number of them in his shop before the one he did the article on.
Expense wise the dropped axle/disk brake swap is going to run somewhat more most of the time. That actually gets up in $$ range of the entry level MII style setups.
Between my 48 and the 51 merc I had I put probably close to 200 k on subframed rigs . The only issue being that i had to cut up the front end sheetmetal on both for clearance for the subframes and A arms.
