Schwartz Performance’s Complete Bolt-In 1968-74 X-Body Chassis

xbodychassisschwartz

We all know the factory X-body’s uni-body construction is inherently weak. You can do all you want increasing horsepower, beefing up suspension, or braking but there will still be flex from the sheet-metal design of the body, which will hurt the handeling. So let Schwartz Performance‘s new bolt-in chassis fix the issue so you can make that Nova, Ventura, Apollo, or Omega carve corners the way you want. They’ve developed a complete full frame chassis that they claim is capable of 1.08G turns.

Official Release:

Do you wish your ’68-’74 Nova could sit on a full frame chassis to improve its performance and handling? Wishes can come true as Schwartz Performance now offers its G-Machine Chassis for GM’s 1968–1974 X-bodies (Nova, Ventura, Omega and Apollo).

The Schwartz G-Machine Chassis is a complete full-frame designed to bolt under your classic uni-body. Our efficient frame design increases rigidity and decreases weight (by 75 pounds) by replacing the entire front sub-frame, steering rack and rear suspension. , The modern geometry and race-bred components of our G-Machine Chassis bring you a pro-touring stance with 1.08G in the corners and luxury-car comfort in the straights. And without sacrificing any ground clearance!

The front suspension features upper A-arms fit with needle-bearing and is engineered with separate camber and caster adjustments (without using shims) In the rear you’ll find a four-bar system with teflon-lined spherical rod-ends for bind-free operation and a smooth ride. The Schwarz chassis incorporates longer shocks at all four corners than any other chassis to improve the overall handling and tuning of the suspension.

Engine mounts are available for small and big block Chevys as well as any LS based platform and an adjustable transmission mount accepts nearly any trans. Stop wishing for full frame performance for your X-body; let Schwartz Performance bring out the best in your ride!

Features:

  • Saves 75 pounds over the factory components
  • Separate camber and caster adjustments; no shims required
  • Upper control arms designed with needle bearings–no bushings
  • Engine and transmission mounts for nearly all drivetrain combinations
