homemade chevy lt1 subframe
i started to build my own subframe because alot of the people that sell them have a waiting list
and also i love to fabricate.
im will be installing a camaro lt1 with a th400 auto tranny, every thing will be making every single part, so far i have the rear flange that will take a chevy driveshaft and the subframe has been modified all i need now is the tranny xmember. here are some pics of the stuff.

Are you building the motor yourself or having it built? Abbott Racing Motors here in Crane, TX (not too far from you) does phenominal work on piston engines. He can improve the CFM flow even on CNC'd heads. He has been porting and polishing for more than thrity years now. It would be worth a call :
