e-zchassisswaps plan or should I not?

[jeremywrags]

Hi All,

I have seen a few threads on here about e-zchassisswaps but no pics or anyone commenting that they had done it.

Looking at the site and talking to ED it seems very promising. The only down side that I can pinpoint so far is the limitation on wheels & wheel sizes.

I know some say there are other things to consider like, rebuilding the front suspension, brake lines, mounts, bushings... which would make it cost prohibitive but my truck needs all that anyway so one way or another it's got to happen.

Local wrecking yard has an 82 Chevy shortwide that they say is in very nice shape. Complete rolling chassis with power steering pump, rear end and gas tank and I can pick it up for $400, if I add the cost of the kit + shipping total is around $1400.00. I already have a 4 link from speedway so that will take care of moving the rear end forward and I should be all set. Even if I rebuild the front end completely, the parts are not more than a few hundred $$ and I'd do it myself so no labor costs.

So what am I missing? seems like a no brainer but things that sound to good to be true usually are...

If I go mustang 2, these kits seems to start around $2500 for a decent kit so it seems like i'd be money ahead with this chassis swap?

I could go Camaro but then I have to buy a clip and chop the frame which I am not confident that I would do that great a job.

Anyone done one, can you tell me the pro and cons, would you do it again. How's it drive, do the front tires rub???

Thanks
