      I can't speak to Camaros, but I know that they interfere on 1st-3rd gen Novas. The outer plate for the upper cradle is designed to work with stock frame rails and tubs.

      All is not lost, though, because you can simply wing off the outer plates on the cradle and weld up the outer ends as opposed to bolting them on. I believe there is more infor on this over on stevesnovasite.com.

      Good luck!

      As car guy stated: Modification of the frame mounts on the TCI 4-link would be necessary. Fortunately, not an issue for you now.

      What type of motor mounts are you using. I have run into that issue when trying to use updated stock type motor mounts with the safety catch feature. I normally use the Energy Suspension motor mounts and haven't had any issues with fit using them.
