New RideTech Subframe

[Josh@Ridetech]

Nice. I’m trying to figure out if an LS and T56 Magnum will fit without cutting the trans tunnel. I guess you’ll find out.

The Holley mounts most of us use with the stock subframe allow that combo to fit without cutting. I got somewhere in the low 3 degree range of engine/trans angle and very good u-joint operating angles with my ridetech 4 link at reasonable ride height. I have an LS7 and T56 Magnum.

Josh @ ridetech had told me the engine mounts in the “stock” location, but I’m not sure the term stock and LS can really be combined. I’d like to get one of these subframes, but I’m not sure I want to chop the tunnel on my all original floor pan car.

I mean "stock" as in the original position of the SBC that would've came in the car. I had the LS in my car with the stock subframe as well. With it installed in our subframe with our motor mounts, it is sitting 1/8 of an inch of where it originally was when the stock subframe/swap components were on the car.



Our subframe is going to position the engine and trans at the 3* down angle. You're not going to gain or lose any space around the transmission tunnel just with the subframe swap. I'm not sure on the T56 magnum but we've put these in cars with a standard T56, TKX, 700r, and 350 transmissions. All of which had stock tunnels except for the T56 car which was already modified with the stock subframe in order to get good angles on everything.
