Default Subframe connectors

Hey, so word on the street is, that the subframe connectors for the 3rd gen f-body will also fit the 4th gen f-body. That would kick a$$ if they do cuz that chops cost almost in half but does anyone know for sure if this is true? Any help would be great!

I have never heard that they fit! I figure there would be a clearance issue with the exhaust. And the mounting locations in the front would be different as well. There are no similarities in the frames other than the rear mounting brackets.
Thanks
Brad

I don't see how they could fit.

On a 3rd gen the front frame rails narrow in and hug along the trans tunnel, IIRC.
On a 4th gen, the front frame rails widen to the outer edges of the tub.

Of course, with a plasma cutter and welder, ANYTHING can fit ANYTHING ...

No they will not fit. Completely different setup. Heres some pics of the two side by side.
