So here is my question to throw into the mix. Slightly off the topic of pure performance but I think very important in whether or not to go aftermarket sub frame.
I have an LS1 and auto from a 2000 camaro with all standard front drive accessories that I am about to fit into a ’68 camaro. Will any of the after market sub frames allow me to use all the 4th gen camaro accessories and oil pan? If so this is a no brainer to go after market.
Correct me if im wrong on these costs, If I stick with the factory frame Im at least into it $2k for A arms coil overs plus whatever else to get it to perform close to an after market setup. Then looking at $1500-2k for engine accesory drive kit to clear stock sub frame plus $400 for oil pan. 11” wildwood setup approx $1000. I need to get a new steering box anyway so that’s another $400. So that’s around 6k.
Im pretty sure speedtech or DSE or heidts could fit me up with a fully loaded setup for $6k or less and have the advantages of modern geometry, wider front tire, rack front steering, more header clearance etc. etc. But……. will my stock 4 th gen camaro accessories and oil pan work with these setups.
Im looking to purchase this week so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Justin
