Yeah I have to wonder if Chrysler had a patent on the front subframe and GM was eyeing it to do past a 7 yr timeframe when a patent expires. Sorry to have included the chevelle in my earlier post, I can only think of the camaro as having a front subframe at the moment.

I got the thumbs up/sideways from the wife on buying the triple black project eldo below. Plan would be to pitch the front wheel drive trans, and run a corvette torque tube right through the car (not too big of a hole in fire wall, structure of the body stays intact), and put the 84 and up corvette rear end (subframe) in it. That idea is not mine, it came from a friend. He said to put a paddle shifter in it, I would want a 4 speed on the floor, linking up to the corvette trans in the back. She definitely likes the looks of the triple black eldo all done, so thats good for me at the moment, to get my big car fix.
