I thank you all for the information, I just saw this wrecked Z06 and purchased all of the suspension, trans, and LS6 engine. Everything that drops out of the bottom when you unbolt it. The other guy I partnerd with got everything up top.
The Vette was hit in the side, but not that bad. I Have the stock Corvette wheels and tires. The offset on the Corvette rims is all the way to the outside so the all the tire goes under the car with the bolt patern all the way to the outside edge of the tire. With this, I don't think that I can get much more of an offset to make the wheels tuck in any more, and I saw Poplar Hotrodding due an article on Project X. They did the same Corvette cut the cradle and narrow it, but did not go in to enough detail as to what was involved in doing it.
My Chevelle frame is rusted out and so I was going to build my own frame and am now just trying to gather up any info that I can to make this work. I have built a frame jig to keep everything in place while building and welding.
The lower controll arms and rack and pinion steering are connected to the cradle as does the engine, so I am not sure how to go about not using the cradle. Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jim
