After engine and trans is removed can you remove subframe without removing fenders, etc. Thanks Team.

pdq67 Dec 21st, 08, 10:24 AM Sure! Carefully jack your car up by using 2x4x16 boards laid flat under the rockers behind the front fender wheel well openings SOLID and un-bolt it and slide it out. MAKE SURE IT IS SUPPORTED SOLID UP IN THE AIR!!!!!!!! You DON'T want it to fall down!! Sucker can kill you if you happen to be under it is why! Leave your front wheels on it and use a floor jack to hold the cross member up and it will come right out the front easy. pdq67 Codi Dec 22nd, 08, 04:20 PM Once the sub is out, support the front sheetmetal at the core support with anything you can find. I used a cheapo screw jack. Just to take the weight off. Montreal58 Dec 23rd, 08, 06:48 AM Thanks for the advice pdq67 and Jim. This site is the best source I have found. I just picked up an interesting very late 10c (1969 production car) Norwood X44 with 714 and 76B 350 HD code motor with 350TH trans all matching numbers, extremely straight car. I will be making some mods to engine and trans but original block and trans case to be retained. Column shift will be converted to floor console shift with guages among other goodies. Thanks again. | ||
