Default Re: chevelle frame interchange question??

Unless your aiming for show points, keep your eyes peeled for the stronger 442/rag boxed frames..
And isn't it the extended length in the frame horns what makes the Gran Prix/Monte' ones wrong...remember those deep rad shrouds?.

Pete - its that as well as a stretched section from the firewall to the engine crossmember. Montes have a spacer between the firewall and wheelhouse, and the motor mount brackets are set back further on the crossmember compared to a Chevelle.
