speed tech sub

[ibdmann]

what are the advantages/disadvantages of the speedtech vs the alston subframe for a 69 camaro. Do both allow a 275 tire up front. Frank why did you choose the speedtech subframe for your firebird? Do both have a crossmember to run a tko trans?
thanks

Both the Alston and Speedtech frame are good frames and are the highest of quality construction. Both can handle the 275 tire. Why did I choose the Speedtech for the Firebird? I talked to Blake about his new subframe, looked at the plans, it was going to be brand new, I liked what I saw, I liked the targeted price point and felt like I needed to test it. And I am very happy with it. It is just a screamin deal.

I have the dse upper and lower control arms with the ats spindle. Will that stuff bolt up to the speed tech and the alston frame?
Thanks

Yes Speedtech will use your factory replacment components. That is truley one of the great things about this frame. Alston uses proprietary components.

I have one of the Speed Tech subframes and am very happy so far. Here's a link to a bunch of pics of it: https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=15259

Can you use the steering box? or do you have to convert to Rack and Pinion?
