I made a bit of progress, changed my process a little bit.. I was trying to set the control arm angle by going off bump steer, then place the subframe in where ever it needed to be for the correct roll center. The least amount of bump steer the control arm was pointing WAY up.. so that theory was bad lol.

off to the corvette forums I went hoping to get stock angles of the control arms for a better guideline. Ended up getting a TON of help and a better way to go about this than I was. Huge thanks to "Churchkey" and everybody else from the corvette forums.

my bump steer idea of doing it.. that failed.

finding the roll center, drafting the whole front suspension out and getting everything figured out. literally took up my whole garage lol. talk about a pain in the ass! but I now know all the angles to go off of and can "simply" put the subframe in now.

sorry for the crappy pics. they looked good on my phone when I took them...

but thats where I am as of now. next step is to get it physically in place in the car and go from there.

This thing is wild! That V8 fits in there nicely. Will be the ultimate sleeper.
