I have a 1951 Chevrolet 3100 that I rebuilt 20 years ago when I was a kid. I am now readying to upgrade the front suspension to a '78 Camaro front clip. See photos attached.

I have the general idea of what to do such as taking my measurements and all of that jazz, but does anyone have any quality resources or experience that I could gleam from?

I'm simply looking for a website that I could go to for a general step-by-step or a good video that I could watch (most on YouTube are cutting the Camaro suspension and I want to cut the old frame to fit the contour of the "z" and side the Camaro suspension under the old frame — see photo with read and blue to better understand the idea). Or if anything, if you have experience with this, it would be so nice if someone would be willing to take a call from me and let me ask them a few questions.

This is my first time for a subframe graft, so thanks for your advice and patience! And please forgive me if there's already a thread on this... I searched and there were so many results that seemed to not fit that I decided to post a new thread and see what we could come up with.

Thank you!

This needs to go to the HiPo Forum

You could always look at the Stovebolt Tech Tip on this! https://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/clip_camaro/index.html Yep, I'm the same Mark Smith named at the top.

Justhorsenround, I am putting it there now. Feel free to comment.

MNSmith, thank you! I will check that out when I return to the house this evening.
