DSE subframe

Scott - is that the height the car was at when the sub rolled out the bottom with the engine or did you pull the engine from the top first? Looks awesome, good luck with the new sub

That's the height I needed to have the car to roll the complete subframe, motor, and trans out from underneath. I had some low profile casters for snowmobiles that worked perfect. With the casters, I only needed to have 30" from the ground to where the chin spoiler mounts to roll it out.

was it just a stock subframe before?

wanna come over and help my garage look like yours?

[Vince@Meanstreets]

good luck with the change Scott, I still remember talking with Wayne about that frame at the SEMA dinner. Wow, its been a while.

Are you going to sell it or find another car to put it under? You know you want to. LOL

If you weren't so far I'd offer to buy it.

What valve covers are you running?

You won't regret that change, but why in the Summer!?

[XcYZ]

The rotors aren't on the ground, there's a set of low profile casters under the lower control arms and also under the legs of the subframe. You can see an extra set of caster sitting on top of the left frame leg in the 2nd pic. They're just hard to see under the control arms in the pics.

It's holding up great, zero issues. I'm very happy with it.

Man, that was A LOT of work. I don't know that I want to do it again.

Thanks Skip. I'm looking forward to getting it on the road. I put 7,300 miles on the other subframe, so I have a good feel on how its mannerisms. I'll definitely post up some feedback.

Will you have any issues with the placement of the engine and how the headers and trans crossmember fit?

Mike

Headers are going to be the big question mark. I believe everything else will fit just fine.

Thanks Vince. I think it was a good concept, it filled a void in the aftermarket subframe offerings. Not sure what I'm going to do with it just yet.

The valve covers are carbon fiber, from Carbon Fiber Valve Covers.com of all places.
