Camaro vs. Mustang II IFS overall cost after its all done

[daveshilling]

Hey Gents,

While trying to decide what direction to go with Lucky the trucky, I've been pouring over Camaro/Firebird sub vs. Mustang II. The one thing I haven't found is how much it costs realistically to put in the Camaro subframe?

Can anyone share what they put into their Camaro front so I (and future searchers) can compare?


I like the Camaro option for the tighter lock to lock steering, instant drop and the beefier componentry designed for a heavier vehicle than a mustang...although I'm sure TCI has factored that in somewhat.

The problem is that I don't know where to stumble upon a camaro subframe in Northern CA, and on Craigslist guys are selling them for $500. I dont have space to buy an entire camaro, steal the parts, and let the rest sit until its picked up for scrap. So a $500 start seems not great for a rusty subframe.


Regarding the choice itself, I don't have the welding skills to install the Camaro necessarily, but I have tack-welding skills and a Miller 211 and professional welders in the city who would like some side cash I'm sure.
