Ridetech's New 67-69 F Body Subframe

[streetk14]

1) what kind of caster is this designed to run? One of our test cars is set up as more of a cruiser, running 5* caster. The '67 we just installed the kit on hit 8* easily.

2) would the ride height range be similar to a stock subframe car running your coil over setup? 2" to 2.5" lower than factory is where everything is happy geometry wise. There is a little more room to go with this setup with the added tire clearance than a factory subframe. If the wheel and tire fitment is spot on, I'd say 3" lower is doable while keeping everything in proper geometry.

3) Are those C7 aluminum upper arms? No. We machine our own billet arms for this.

4) Can an LS engine and T56 Magnum be installed without cutting the trans tunnel? Mine is installed with the stock tunnel on the original subframe using Holley mounts. If you made it fit in the tunnel with a stock subframe, there's no reason it wouldn't work in ours, as the engine is in the stock location. I'm sure your tunnel clearance is tight now but as long as you have the proper engine/transmission angle and it works, I'd let it rip.

5) Are those heim joints instead of tie rods? The outer tie rods use a heim and tie rod stud in the spindle. The inner tie rods are standard Fox Body ones.

The reason I asked about the trans tunnel is that DSE requires cutting the tunnel if you use their subframe. The Holley clamshell mounts most of us use on stock subframe cars allow it to fit without cutting. It’s tight like you said, but with all your front suspension and 4-link on it my driveline angles are good. It’s the guys that go really low that seem to have issues.

A couple more questions I thought of:

1) Any weight differences vs a stock subframe setup?

2) Have any headers been test fitted on it with an LS engine? I have a set of Ultimate Headers I bought to work with the TruTurn.
