Go to about page 6 and see the thread "Late model car suspension on old truck..."
This guy has a front subframe you bolt into existing holes then weld the edges for strength. Uses mostly g-body suspension pieces. One of the easiest and price-efficient setups I have seen. Has the radiator mounts and engine mounts already in position if you wish. I only wish I had seen it before I did my trans am clip - I would certainly have gone with his setup. Sorta like the one from R.B.'s Obsolete just much cheaper!!
