There is NO frame, NONE, that you could use without SERIOUS modifications. The time spent on "Making it work" could be spent on up dating your stock frame and it would look a LOT better when done.

I want to use a 350 motor and modified 700R trans and was wondering if that stock frame could handle the power. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | folks clip the frames cuz they think that's the only way to get the power steering and disc brakes they think they need, not to mention the plusher ride - they'd really prefer a car - the stock frame can handle anything you wanna put in it, and if you're worried about how well it'll stand up to high power, you can box it and add beefier motor/trans mounts - friend of mine has a 55 w/ a strong 427 and 4 speed in it [pulls the front wheels off the ground] and the stock frame has done well Bill | | |
