Have you taken into account your Exhaust routing around these subframe connectors?...are you using headers or manifold to run piping from? just curious if will cause fitment issues looks great!...should help stiffen your chassis allot!...... Are you running a High HP engine that require this?

Thanks! Great point Steve. I did...kind of. lol I had the exhaust still attached from the header attachment back to the tail pipes(engine, tranny, and drive shaft are out) so not 100% sure how close the header is to the front subframe but think I am good. Front attaching was level with the subframe but the rear is stacked under the rear subframe. Not sure if it correctly done but should work...in my humble opinion. I will be adding a Headman 3" X pipe and all new to the tail anyway so they can route it as needed.
As far as the engine goes, balanced n blueprinted 440 with a big cam and NOS...prob 550HP or so. It is for cruising, not a race car. I have another 440 and 383. Probably turning the 440 into a 512 stroker engine with NOS. I have a dual 4 tunnel ram for the 383...needs a car! I also have a fresh rebuilt 6-71 blower setup top to bottom but its a small block setup...which I don't have currently.

I used roll cage tubing on mine. Attached at the front on a peice of angle and welded to front frame section. The rear frame section I flattened the tubing and welded to rear frame then took a plate about 4x8 inches weled to side of rear frame heated and bent around and welded to other side. Welded all places I could get to the pipe. Worked out well. Mines a 73 so space is limited under rear floor pan. I know the a bodys work well with square, so far round tube hasn't failed me.
