Hey guys. Does anybody know the weight of a bare stock sub-frame in a 1st gen Camaro? Thanks.

There are no substantial weight advantages to any subframe swap.

I was just wondering if I was going to be able to move it around once I take it out to re-weld it and sand blast it.

If you need help, shoot me an email. I'd run down to harbor freight and grab a couple rollers for cheap so it's easy to move around and put back in.

Maybe 150-170. I pick mine up and move it around by myself all the time, it's more awkward (balance) then heavy.

I read someplace that a bare stock sub is about 110 lbs.
