My "GUESS" is just by looking at it -- it's based on Mustang II suspension settings -- the others are Corvette C-5 or C-6


I'm not trying to make the comparison so am not going to go check out all the various manufacturers to figure out who's making what... so this is just an unedumakated opinion that may not be valid at all.

My wayne due is an older version I believe. I bought it used quite a while ago, and it was originally set up for a big block. I had no issues with depth. I acutally cut the frame stands and shortened them to get the motor and trans down to 3 degrees from the 5 it was sitting at. I also had trouble getting the motor mounts lined up, as the stands were too close together and would bottom in the mounts, not allowing it to set down far enough to line the bolt holes up. I addressed this at same time that the mounts were shortened. Have you test fit the motor? If so post up some pics & lets see where youre running into issues. I'm using the stock F-body pan, if that helps you.

Anything in the Heidts catalog under the Pro-G line is not MII but is a clean sheet design using their forged tall dropped A/F/X spindle. Nearly all aftermarket subframes use a MII rack and pinion assembly.

Most other subframes are also clean sheet designs even though they may use C5/6 corvette components like uprights and/or control arms.

In most cases you will find dimensions to be very close from manufacture to manufacture and the major differences will be in cost/quality of components used.
