I have a question about this first will this work under a X-body car 72 Nova. Second I noticed the the upper control arms mount point are the same high as the the arm tabs. Are you not worried about fatigue on this point as it is a high stress area. I am just asking I coulf be wrong I sure you have raod tested the crap out of this this just curious.

Default How much more weight for a full frame?

I bought a car that already was on its way to a Chassis works frame replacement. And the replacement frame, G-link, and an LS engine will keep the car at the same weight, or even less. I thought about a replacement full frame like one of these before I bought the car I have now.

What is the weight effects of a replacement frame like this one? Looks like it would add weight, not a bunch, like maybe 200 lb.

Just asking...

Honestly, we have not put one under an x-body yet. We know many of the F-body structures are similar to the x, but without trying it first hand, we couldn't say for certain.
The area of the frame you were asking about is 1/4 inch plate both tied directly to the shock mount and the frame and on the other side has an 'I-beam' profile. It's incredibly solid!

The weight gain is quite comparable to the average modifications performed on these vehicles i.e. removing the leaf springs, replacing the rear framerails, subframe connectors and subframe.
When you factor in removal and addition of these components, our chassis is fairly close weight wise, but with the added integrity of a single, continuous unit instead of 3 components tied together.

X2! I was wondering the same thing! Would be great if it fit into a 1970 Nova!!

Thank you
