I plan to move the engine rearward as possible without destroying the firewall and dash, and saving weight where I can. Engine is a worked over LS3, behind it is a Tremec 3550, 5-Speed.

Does anyone make a subframe that I can Run the parts I have, would be lighter, and allow for some Large Front Wheel/Tires? (295-315 Range)



I agree with David, moving the engine back would help incrementally, but not enough to justify the effort. You can run most of you parts with our sub, with the exception of the steering box. I don't know of any aftermarket sub that has any provisions for the stock box. Your arms and your anti-roll bar will work. The shocks may work, but we have not installed that particular shock on our sub, so we can't guarantee it. You will have room for a 275 in the front. It is hard to put together a cohesive package with parts from a variety of manufacturers, as we (manufacturers) can't possibly test/verify every part out there. I have found that most of the time, the best results come from using one vendor for everything, whether you are talking suspension, ignition, paint, whatever. Hope that helps!
