I'm in the same boat as you, I was set to pull the trigger on one of his frames when he closed shop. But I've done tons of research and on the road to building my own frame. First, for what you asked for, the stock vette k member has the engine set back about 6 inches from the camaro location. If you try to move the engine forward with that then you have problems with the rack which sits too high on the vette k member to clear the engine. Most aftermarket subframes use a variation of the ford, (yikes!) rack and pinion because its more compact. I have my design based on a later model mustang rack. I've borrowed different ideas from the various manufacturers to build into my frame. I have it all drawn on cad and am checking the design with the Mitchell suspension software. I'm building the frame jig this weekend. I will post some pics later in the week.
