Camaro Subframe.
I am about to do a mechanical restoration on my 68 Z28. I have a fresh motor,trans and rearend to install along with some suspension parts.
My original sub frame has a huge dent caused by a flywheel explosion years ago. I am inclined to replace the subframe and want to know what year Camaro/Nova/firebird will be interchangeable. I have lead right now on a 1973 Nova frame a few hundred miles away and priced right. Advice and info appreciated.

1967, 1968, & 1969 all have a few difference between. Mainly the snubber area for the lower control arms. There's others...Joe

68 up till say 72 Nova subs will also work.

As stated above, subtle differences from year to year. If you want to be techinically correct, you will need a 68 subframe. The others will work.

A friend here in Alberta had a clean 68 Sub Frame a couple years ago that he wanted me to take but I left it behind. It was straight and very clean. It's just North of Red Deer. I can look up his number if you want to call him to see if he still has it? I'll PM you his name and number. Great guy and I think the price was free when he offered to me. If he still has it...the frame was real decent.
