After much debate I decided to use the stock rear aluminum subframe. Made a jig to hold it in place, got some bends from Art Morrison and started on the frame.

nice work!!

Picked up a new block, :faint: some LS7 heads and Forgeline rims from the Corvette forums and an intake from here. The motor was going to be setback a little more then I was hoping so I made new offset transmission mounts. Pictures show the motor with the offset mounts.
Finding front suspension was harder, seems there is good demand for the C6 suspension. Got some new/setup only front knuckles off Ebay but the guy had drilled the lower ball joint holes, so after getting that mess fixed I ordered new. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7539/...426b7707_o.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5606/...1f971dc2_o.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7508/...df459c16_o.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5612/...e52f3122_o.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5605/...a09f09d3_o.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7484/...d3469edc_o.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7467/...8bcc0bba_o.jpg |

Love this project! From previous project pics I've seen, using the Vette drivetrain sometimes creates a cramped space (floor height, tunnel, etc.) in a first gen Camaro. Just curious if you've looked at that and if it's an issue? Also, is the block new or used?
Keep goin' Jeff! :cheers: |

Block is new as used motors didn't seem to come up much when I was looking and didn't want to put out the money all at once for a new motor although in the long run it might have been better. BTW enjoy the builds you have going. Jeff |
Front of frame coming together, engine and rack and pinion mounts.
Everything is cell phone pictures so sorry for not being steady enough when taking some of them. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7552/...37873925_o.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3950/...ab272a4f_o.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8122/...9b995b0f_o.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5600/...4cbe3c8c_o.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5600/...3d25a690_o.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5614/...273144cb_o.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7537/...1d32aafc_o.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7529/...bc934d87_o.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7481/...149f686e_o.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7515/...113f99e9_o.jpg Jeff |
Damn. Looks good.

Great job on the Camaro, but I really love the 914. Do you have a link to where I can see more pictures of that build?
