Schwartz chassis for 82-92 Camaros?

[BADcarma]

I made an inquiry with Dale at Schwartz Performance and he advised that they looked into a 3rd gen chassis but it required lots of cutting and welding on the floor and then there was the fact that not many 3rd gen guys would be willing to pay the price for the chassis. However, I thought that it might be a good way to upgrade and get some of that wow factor and solve some of the drawbacks of the hatchback design. I have seen builds where the owners wanted IRS or corvette based front suspensions and a chassis would make having those options easier. When I started my build my budget didn’t allow for a “one off” piece but now it could be an option. I also agree with you guys on the availability and price of LSX swap parts. I’m going to run a 418ci LS3 and choices for the exhaust system are pretty slim.

This is what happens when you’re separated from your pride and joy for an extended period of time and have access to forums where guys like (our hero) Mark Stielow show off all the cool technology and creative innovations that keep us excited about the hobby. I’m committing the cardinal sin…I’m dreaming of all the cool ways that I could be building my car instead of following the original plan. I’ll probably be perfectly happy with the performance of my car when it’s done but we all know what it is like to want something different and cool.
