C5 Suspension cradle gound clearance
Hey guys,
Trust me I have searched and searched and haven't found the info that I need. I am working on my 67 camaro and am using C5 suspension both front and rear. I am in the process of mocking up the front now. Can anyone tell me, for a stock c5 with no mods, what is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the suspension sub frame? For reference / measuring points let's use the stiffening ribs on the bottom of the sub frame as shown in the below picture.
Also, I am using the following drawing / picture as a reference for some critical dimensions. Can anyone clarify for me what the "DATUM LINE" is meant to be? Is it the ground / tire contact patch or some other reference point? If it is meant to be the ground then it places the bottom of the stock frame with 4in of ground clearance. Also, when I setup the front sub frame using the dimensions for datums D and G, it winds up with about 3.7in ground clearance to the bottom of the sub frame. That seems a bit low to me.
Any info / clarification that can be provided will be greatly appreciated.
