Default Re: Subframe Question

The minor differences I was speaking of are the 3 holes on the top front of the frame horns. After 69 or 70, the rear most driver's side was elongated. You won't even use that one. I also recall that either 67 and/or 68 may or may not have had the large hole on the inside of each frame horn near the front.

I have personally checked the 73/74 Novas and they are the same subframe. Those cars have a funky front bumper mounting bracket, but still the same frame. Others subs from Venturas and Apollos will work, but those have some weird brackets welded to the cross member for the engine mounting. Those brackets can be ground off.

For what it is worth, these subframes (bare) as of 2 years ago were going for $60 at the California pick-n-pulls. A complete sub was going for $120.

Another place to consider is GM Sports of San Jose, California. Their standard price was about $250 a couple of years ago. There was also an equal shipping charge.
