66 nova suspension

[lpope]

Starting my first build with a 66 nova. I need a comparison between DSE's front clip and 4 link and Morrisons Max G full frame. Does anyone have any experience with either product? What are the benefits and or downfalls of each?

I belive w/ the DSE frt is all bolt on very if any fab work. DSE rear suspension some fab work highly engineered. AME full frame tons of fab & sheet metal work.Engineered very well also. But needs more fab & engineering after the product is at your shop.IMHO go w/ DSE

Everythig CoolWelder said is true. Labor time will be MUCH higher with AME full Chassis. But it will have a SICK ride height.

No experience, but the Roadster Shop just announced some killer full frames also with much less cutting than the AME full frame.

Frank, you mentioned it is much more work with a AM full frame. For a performance standpoint if one was going to put on a new front clip, welded in rear clip (3 link or 4 link), sub-frame connectors, mini-tubs..... how much more hours of labor is it to do a full frame? Won't a full frame be a much better suspension system? I know this is a real pain on the unibody car, but you can set the ride height to be nice an low. I noticed on the Camaro you are building with JP, a reproduction floor pan is being used. Does putting in a full frame on a unibody car imply you have to custom fabricate a new firewall, floor and trunk pan or can reproduction parts be adapted to work?

Thanks, Josh

None of my business -- but if this is your "first build" -- stick to bolt in parts... get a feel for how this all goes -- learn a little - and don't get in over your head... unless you're already a master fabricator - and have the tools and skills... it's harder than it looks. Do bolt in stuff - and as you learn and grow and gather the stuff needed... then you start rockin' out. Just my humble opinion.
