C6 suspension kit for c3?

I was told there was a direct bolt up c6 suspension kit, no modding required. Anyone know of any truth to this and where to get one and how much it is?

Never happen. Not C6 to a C3 chassis. The transaxle and suspension points are all diffeerent.

talk with Samman here on the forum as he did the C6 suspension - noway you could use our frames. He needed a tube frame and definitely not an inexpensive undertaking. I think he also dropped a new ls7 engine in as well (68 vert). Before this he was one of the first on the forum to modify his C3 frame for a C4 suspension.

That's a pretty slick looking setup.

It would be cheaper to just get a C6 though.

What you heard about was a C5 suspension setup for the C3. VBP sells them. All it is is a way to use glass sprigs in the back, AND the front, plus they are adjustable. At that price, it's a good kit, though I think it'll be a hair more than 2,100...
