hey guys i just bought a 53 chevy to sit next to the nova in the garage. were building it for my wife as a drag car. anyways the pervious owner didnt build the car and was told when he bought it that it had a nova front subframe.
its a front steer car so if its any nova its the 75-9 body style
these years share a front sub with the second gen camaros also correct?
thanks for any pictures above and below of the subframe, control arms and what not.
Thank you
Josh

Check out my build thread, there are several pictures of my subframe without the motor on it posted over there. It has tubular A-arms, but otherwise the subframe is pretty much stock, so that should give you a good look at everything.

By the way, it is true that much of our front suspension is the same as the 70-81 Camaros, but as far as I know the subframes themselves ARE NOT identical, just the bolt on stuff (A-arms, spindles, maybe the steering box).

^^^ Yep. Subframes themselves are different but the rest is the same.
