Does anyone have any do's and don't about removing the front subframe ? I'm going to pull mine to beef up the RH A-Frame / Engine support for my 3800SC engine swap in my '96 Sunfire. Before I drop it out, do I need to mark anything or know where to look for that inconspicuous bolt that's always hidden until the damage is done ?
I'm going to replace the sway bar bushings and control arm bushings also while it is out.

John,
That's a REALLY NICE FRAME !!! Well thought out. Thank You for the ideas !!!

My frame is 2" square tubing 1/4" thick. Is that over kill ?

Also, do I need to mark anything when I pull the frame out, or will it go back into the original place when I put it back in ?

Thanks Again John...

Dont forget the steering rack bolts!!

The irony being that engine is not what's in there now.
Very nice subframe, though.

Where do you get the Prothane (Poly-urathane) Bushings and sleeves at for the Engine Mount Brackets ?

That Power Steering Cooler tie down was a sneaky-little thing. Almost got me in trouble. It will be the one thing I will probably forget to put back on when I bolt the frame up. LOL...
