Are you using electric fans? Im guessing so. On mine I was able to move it far wngough forward that I didnt have any cleance problems. I am also using an ls enigne, they area little smaller than the gen 1's. You will more than likely have a clearance problem with the distributor and possibly the transmission. I ran a 3 inch body lift just to give me a little room to play with so I wouldnt have to cut the body.

yeah i planned on running elec.fans and i planned on doing a 3 inch body lift when i put the body on the frame. was your frame strong enough to hold up to the sb?

THe frames on these seem to be the stongest part. They are way over built for what they come wiht and so far it has held up great. I will be throughly testing it this coming weekend so ill let you know then but right now I am more worried about the axles than I am the frame.
