I'm planning a swap of my slant 6 to a 360 magnum. They weigh about the same, 440 pounds give or take, but what about the weight distribution? Should I install my frame connectors before or after the engine swap, or does it make no difference?

I finally decided to tackle the cracked subframe on my 73 swinger. I cut out the bad metal on the bottom where the rear kmember nut is and removed the nut. I ended up internally sleeving it with a piece of 3 by 2 inch 3/16th wall steel tubing. I did 3 3/8ths plug welds on the inner side and 5 on...

Is the feont subframe supposed to actually contact & sit on the bump stop? Do I have to crank the torsion bars to lift it off ? Thanks

Hello, i am looking for a set of bolt in subframe connectors for my 1969 dart swinger, looking for a set to help stiffen my dart up with the new motor and drag radials! I know that there are hotchkis and us car tools available.

I am looking for opinions on several subframe connector options. I do not want to use the US Cartool weld in type. My preference are bolt on brackets like the Hotchkis type. I just came across the Magnum Force subframe connectors and I like them a lot. They are gusseted and braced better than...

For a winter project I'm going to install subframe connectors in my 66 Barracuda. I've already picked up the 1 1/2 x 3 rectangular tubing material, but now I'm not sure I can use it. While looking down the underside of the car it looks like the floor braces that come off the rockers need to...

Hi all. For guys that have subframe connectors in their a bodies that go through the floor and drag race (See pic below). How are you placing the plastic racing seats in the car? When adding the roll bar main hoop for the back of the seat to connect to, the seat will be sitting right on top of...

...frame stiffening materials from US Car Tool for my 1970 Dart GT and we installed them finishing yesterday. We put in 4 torque boxes and the subframe connectors. Unlike many subframe connectors, these install to the floor of the car like the original subframes so that the floor of the car...

This is related to my E body, but this forum has more people that actually respond, I will ask it here. I am going to put on subframe connectors, I was hoping for input on both brands if possible. I bought the whole USCartools kit, but am not happy with fitment on a couple of pieces, and their...

I installed the US Car Tool subframe connectors, some time ago, but mistakenly removed the factory brake line because it was being replaced. Trouble is, the subframe connectors are welded in and the prebent factory brake line from inline tube (which is excellent btw) can't go into it's...
