My subframe
Jeff,
I went with a BRP Hotrods modified stock sub-frame that will accept a ls1 / t56. The sub frame was stripped and modified, powder coated, cross member swapped, etc. My new tubular LCAs / UCAs, new QA1 coil overs, new sway bar, and Fbody disk brakes (additional bracket) were all cleaned up and installed on the sub-frame and mailed to me. Put "roller" tires on the sub frame,drop the engine / trans in, run your lines and put the body back on and your done. Considering everything was done for me the cost was good. Personally, it was the way go unless you pony up for the new Detroit Speed sub-frame or Chris Alston's sub-frame. I have not run either of the two but I've been told they are the best available for the LSX swap. Though the C5 swap mentioned above sounds good!
