Cradle Updated?


Recommended Posts

So I stroll under a 20XX Monte Carlo in the auto shop I work at, up on the hoist. I quickly notice the Aluminum Cradle and I think that would be a good weight saver and a good upgrade all together...

If its a direct bolt in, i'd go for it. But, it will be one hell of a project and probably pretty expensive.

I was just under the car, and I was like "an Aluminum Cradle, thats cool"

Yeah, the new ones are aluminum, but I don't think there a direct swap in.

it's only a difference of like 30-40 lbs, MAX

25-28 to be exact. A guy in our car club swapped one out of an Impala into his GTP.

I heard it won't fit without some modification.

 

Modifying Aluminum=Bad

 

also not cheap if you can't do it your self

Yeah, it does add up:
