COMPETITION ENGINEERING Subframe Connectors - 76-80 GM F-Body C3114

I have done many sub frame connectors and I didn’t need to do any thing but notch the car front frame where the sub frame connector goes into it, because it’s a bit wide, you can just bend the car frame edge just a bit to get it all to light up, when you go to put the rear spring perch bolts back in, I would suggest putting a jack under the sub frame connector to put pressure on it and put it up close to where it should be making it easier to put bolts in. You also want to align the bolt holes up good and you want to pry the spring pirtch up so you can get the sub frame connector up under it and in place, I did not have to widen bolt holes or any thing other the notching front frame. But take time to align all the holes , usually they are there it just needs some massaging to get them all to align up correct, conpition engineering are the ones I have had the best luck with making it an easier job, make sure you don’t rush on spring pirtch bolts, you don’t want to pull them out if you have any power, so have some extra clips to go ahead and put in while it’s all out, so you don’t have to take it all back apart because one of the clips have stripped, usually if they come out easy it’s a good sign, be careful not to mess them up and have pressure on pirtch so you don’t strip the clips pulling it together, that’s why I put jack under sub frame connector to not strip clips, big difference this will make so your bolts are long enough and you don’t strip those clips and bolts
