Re: 1954 nova clip install
One thing I found out is that if you block your frame up at the ride height you want when you are done. and block the subframe up at it's stock ride height (about 6-12 inches off the shop floor. you end up with a nice riding rig with full suspension under it.
When I did mine and I don't know how I managed it but I ended up with it so the stock core support sat on that front crossmember that the sway bars bolt to and I only had to use a piece of rubber and a thin shim to get it set right.
Bad part and the reason I will never do another subframe swap on anything is you end up trimming the tar out of the front end sheet metal to get things to clear.
