frame is very similar to 1stgen camaro, and suspension upgrade parts will interchange.

I used parts from a '72 nova subframe for my Camaro.. I dont know if there's any diff from those two years, I doubt it.

73 and 74 are no different than 72 down, although the 73-4 has big bumpers and absorbers for the bumpers, the bumper stuff bolts on ,and the sub frame is the same. I have done this swap (73-74 sub into a 70 nova) myself. SO any swap stuff for the early camaro/nova works in the 73-74 subframe.mj
