Default Another DSE frame woe......

My f-body accesories don't clear the frame,specifically the alternator. Can someone confirm that the corvette set-up will work on my 1970 camaro with this frame?

Thanks

Call THEM --- they've built MANY combos... and second gens. They'll know exactly what should fit.

Yeah, but it's the weekend. Although I have called them in the past, I'm convinced the folks answering their phones only know what is on a computer screen. They have made it painful to get previous answers and I know other customers are here.

Then call the guys you bought the subframe from. I'm sure they have installed a bunch of them and can help you out.

Then tell the rep that the information he/she is giving you isn't helping and is unacceptable. Ask to speak to someone else who does know. People spend a lot of money on their product and expect customer service to match. Don't be afraid to politely push.

Donny, you're always a happy fella

Looking for actual users, not technical help from a sales staff.

We ran the C5 and dirty dingo drive set up with no issues.

We run the Wegner drives due to its compactness and belt engaugment.

Vince,

What is your opinion of the dirty dingo mounts? Would you use them on a personal project?
