Is this for 1st gen F-body only or other platforms as well?

What size front tire can be used on a 69 camaro? Could a ridetech shock be used? Does the trans tunnel require raising when running a 6 speed manual?

Scott,
On the front tire sizes , while we have not yet done a 69 in house , I do know of a few customers of ours that have done both a 265 and a 275, and both worked well , without any modifications other than making sure you get the correct backspacing on your wheels.
However , I would suggest you go to the Roadster Shop chassis Vendor section here https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=54852
and check out the great chart showing actual real world results of a 245 front tire versus 315s, I think you might find it useful.

No floor mods are necessary for the T56 , you will have to re locate the shifter hole obviously.

While Ride Tech makes a great shock, the shock body, lower mount, and upper spring retainer will not allow it to fit on the front of the SPEC IFS. The base shock is a Strange Single Adjustable and you have the option to upgrade to an Afco Double Adjustable or take it to the top level and do a Penske Double Adjustable or Triple Adjustable remote reservoir shock.

Thanks , and hope this helps answers some of your questions

Paul , the SPEC chassis utilizes the Wilwood pro forged spindle and Baer has several kits available for that spindle, however a kit for a stock 69 camaro spindle would not work

Did you weight the car prior to installing the Spec frame? What weight increase can be expected?

Dave, the completed 68 test vehicle weighed just shy of 3400 with iron block and dynamat, stereo , etc. so very comparable to other muscle cars like this
