Utilization of a 2-piece driveshaft greatly reduces vibration and minimizes floorboard modifications. Motor mounts are offered for a full range of engine and transmission combinations including small and big block V8, W block (348-409) and late model LS/LT power, as well as most popular automatic and manual transmissions. There are three options for the rear suspension a triangulated 4-bar with a 9” housing with Air Springs or Strange Engineering adjustable coilovers, as well as AME’s exemplary Multilink IRS with coilovers. Up front is AME’s highly acclaimed Sport IFS with tubular control arms, Wilwood ProSpindles, adjustable Strange Engineering coilovers, an adjustable anti-roll bar and power rack and pinion steering. The sturdy 3”x4” main rails and specially designed crossmembers provides the necessary stiffness along with ample clearance for the exhaust system. I think a better question is, who wants the best performance front subframe setup on the market, and what would that entail? Timeframe? $$$? Serious customers, please.The engineering team at Art Morrison Enterprises has developed a versatile GT Sport chassis for the full-sized 1959-64 Chevrolet that checks all the boxes: Contemporary low stance, superior handling and excellent ride comfort. Can't take any credit for the rear setup (although, in mere days, we have a solution for that!!!) but the car is blistering fast and only getting better. The car is no joke, it originally ran a brand "D" front front and rear suspension, both have since been replaced and the results have been incredible. One of our customers here in So Cal is running the older AME front frame, with Lateral-D spindles, as well as some other small but important changes to the rack location, custom L-D LCA's, and overall setup is getting pretty seriously fast, as well as reporting FAR better driver feedback than the original build setup. "Dropped" spindles, especially for these types of applications, can really improve the overall performance potential of the front suspension. And yes, as Corey also states, the Lateral-D Competitor Spindles offer an improvement to the original (and current?) AME geometry by relocating the hub assembly ~1" lower than the factory C5/6 spindle (ie. AME for their own reasons went with a different control arm configuration for the latest configuration suspension. In my opinion, it's the best performance orientated front subframe (currently) offered on the market, and as Corey states, isn't "actually" available on the market. Raise your hand now or forever hold your peace.Ĭorey and I have been in discussions about the older gen AME front subframe, which uses the C5/6 Upper and Lower control arms. More details will follow once we can get a head count of 10 or more interested. I'm trying to compile interest and data to pass on to my contact at AME. This isn't a for sure deal at this point but it's looking possible with the current hiccup in the economy. You're welcome to call or text me for more info. I'm working on a campaign with AME to possibly produce a limited run of previous style C6/C7 bare frames for guys that specifically want this option over their new fabricated control arms. I'd like to get a roll call of potential buyers who would be interested in the old style bare frame that accepts the C6/C7 CA's. ![]() If full disclosure I'm a dealer for AME and have helped out several guys here. ![]() I've talked to several guys who were saving up for the conversion sitting on Vette control arms that were disappointed to find out they could no longer order a bare frame designed to work with their C6/C7 CA's. Hey y'all I know there has been some controversy with AME going away from the C6/C7 control arms. ![]()
