Ridetech's New 67-69 F Body Subframe

[Josh@Ridetech]

Frame mounts are included, right?

I'm not exactly sure what parts you're referring to. Are you talking about the body bushings by chance?

If so, they're not included with the subframe. We leave them as an option. The subframe is designed to be used with stock height body bushings so if a guy already has new rubber or stock height solid bushings, they can be reused. However, we do have our delrin/aluminum combo above if they're needed.

Does the frame come with a steering rack mounting bracket or pre drilled mounting holes? I think you should have a steering rack options just to be a one stop.

I'm referring to the mounting bracket from the frame to the engine mount. I see it on the subframe justing making sure it's included.

Sorry my pic is in the wrong spot! I hope you understand.

The "frame mounts" are welded to the crossmember, you just need to motor mount brackets that bolt to the engine (more info on those below).
The studs that the rack slides onto are welded into the crossmember as seen in the picture below:



We have motor mounts available for different engines:

LS: https://ridetech.com/product/motor-m...tech-subframe/
Small and big block Chevy: https://ridetech.com/product/motor-m...tech-subframe/

As far as the racks go, we leave that open to the customer to choose what brand and ratio they want. There are alot of options available from many different brands, it's hard to stock all possible options unfortunately.

Josh, you have been very helpful by answering all my questions. I would like to say, thank you for that! I appreciate you! ��

Now I have another question! I currently have a ls3, and thinking, I will add a top charger later. Will the spring rate matter on the coilovers for ride height?

You're welcome! With that small of a weight change, I don't believe changing the springs from the rate you start with will really be needed. I don't think it's enough weight that will cause a difference, however, springs are cheap and changing them isn't hard either so it's always an option!

Is this subframe shipped assembled with control arms and stabilizing bar?

Is this subframe shipped assembled with control arms and stabilizing bar?

No, the control arms and other components are not installed onto the subframe. They're in boxes to help keep the shipping crate size down (and we can make sure that everything is boxed more soundly and will make it to the customer in perfect shape).

Josh, because of you answering all my stupid and dumb questions. I wanted you to know that I ordered my subframe today! Thanks again! Now please help me finish ordering my front wheel! �� �� ��

Haha, I'm happy to help out! Thanks for the questions, I'm sure that there are other people out there wanting to know the same things that you are. Give me a call if you want to do some talking about the wheels, I'll give you the specs on the one's that I just put on my car. Just call the main line and ask for me, it's 812-482-2932.

What headers work for this subframe for a LS engine, also it appears that low mount a/c and alternator would work as well. Can anybody verify this? Thanks

I currently have a ridetech 4 link with a stock subframe
On my 68 camaro (vert). I'm running Hotchkis subframe connectors. ridetech's frame connectors look similar in appearance. Is there truly any difference between the 2? If it's not necessary to change out I could live with the decision not to change out!

[QUOTE=Josh@Ridetech;1400326]The front mount is really the only thing similar. Ours are completely bolt in and the whole leaf spring pocket is integrated into our subframe connector, making it more rigid in all the areas that are prone to flex/move. Those slide over the rear frame rails and have to be welded on.

Did you release subframe connectors for the convertible?

Hey Roger. We have not released any for the convertible cars yet.

Hi Josh, just asked as ajs1luv refers to his 68 Camaro vert

[C Presley]

Josh, which headers work best with the ridetech Subframe? Ultimate Header's, Speed Engineering? Are there other brands that are compatible? Please advise.
