Give chassis engineering a call. I used this chassis on my 73 Cuda. It also is available in mild steel. If you have good fabrication skills it’s an easy build. https://chassisengineering.com/documents/5010.pdfOpps, My bad your looking for a sgreet chassis not a drag chassis

Looking at he first picture of the rolling chassis I wouldn't recommend nor use that frame tsk The main reason is the lack of cross frame stiffeners and the lack of a frame beyond the rear end mounts and into the rear of the unibody I believer those chassis are meant to tie into the original unibody. So the unibody takes the place of the cross members you're concerned about.

So the unibody takes the place of the cross members you're concerned about. It does say to weld part of the frame into the rear passenger compartment, to me that is not enough to help stiffen the chassis Especially if it is a car from east of the Rockies with the normal rust damages done to the bottom of the cars back there from road salts Being a SO CA desert guy I have only seen that stuff in pictures on our Mopars

That's a triangulated 4 link chassis (?), if you want to slow your Mopar, this is a proven solution.
Don't take my word for it (you likely won't anyway), do your homework.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

However, if you're not building a car that's going to see more track than street, who cares. The likelihood of ever owning the fastest street car around is pretty slim, so build what you like and can afford and pick your fights carefully !!

Might give Art Morrison a call. They’ve been around for over 30 years. I’m sure they’ve done a Mopar or two.

At $10k for the chassis you better seriously "like" it. PT Barnum comes to mind...
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Hey all,
Sounds like you're all a little skeptical about the full frame deal.. We've built several cars including 800+hp Mopars with our setup, and I can tell you they handle, ride & drive great and yes they improve the strength of the car. Have you counted the spot welds holding the stock front end to the firewall?
Triangulated 4 links are nice since they have plenty of adjustment, and we use high quality teflon-lined rod ends so they're quiet and allows the axle to articulate. Haven't really seen leaf springs do that other than binding the bushing or twisting the spring.
This post is not intended to convince everyone that our chassis are the only way to go on a resto mod.. But if anyone would like to discuss a little further please message me or give us a call. I'd be happy to lay out the advantages. A big one is that there's barely any floor cutting.. so your interior isn't affected much.
Thanks & have a great day! -Dale Schwartz
