Hopefully going this coming weekend to check out a subframe near me. He has 3 and Im hoping he will let me cherry pic one out. IS there a spread sheet somewhere for measurements to make sure all is well.

Or can someone give me pointers on what to look for???

Thanks a ton guys.

The only subframe measurement given in that image is a pretty short diagonal. In addition to that one, measure the longer diagonal from the rear subframe bushing hole to the front core support hole.
