Question About Camaro Subframe?

What degree of angle is the subframe suppose to be at on a 59 frame. I read somewhere 7 degrees. Can't the camaro subframe be welded at the same height as the existing frame? What will happen if there is no dive in the camaro subframe?Also, need a measurement from the front body mounts to the centerline of the camaro subframe.

i did mine at the same height as the original frame. i think if you want it to sit lower you can z the frame s where you connect them.

Hey Kaycee, here is a picture of the truck sitting on 17" stock dodge charger wheels. this is completly bottomed out with stock spindles. i plan on adding drop spindles to get the bumper on the ground. i think with a nice set of spring or bags it should sit at a reasonable level. there are a ton of pictures on here with guys welding on the way you are talking about. hope this helps.
