maybe2fast Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 If its a direct bolt in, i'd go for it. But, it will be one hell of a project and probably pretty expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe2fast Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I was just under the car, and I was like "an Aluminum Cradle, thats cool" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Yeah, the new ones are aluminum, but I don't think there a direct swap in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 it's only a difference of like 30-40 lbs, MAX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goph Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I heard it won't fit without some modification. Modifying Aluminum=Bad also not cheap if you can't do it your self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 25 here, 25 there! it would add up! will it fit on a Gen 1? Yeah, it does add up: if you want to compare apples to apples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
