C4 Frame Diagram
I've done a search, but came up empty - maybe the wrong search criteria. Can anyone point me to a reasonably detailed diagram of a C4 frame? Doesn't necessarily have to have dimensions, but that would be a plus. I've been a C3 guy for a number of years, but the C4 is new to me and I have a project in mind. TIA

Thank you for the replies. I'm interested in building something along these lines, but with one engine:

I currently own a '68 coupe, been a Chevy/GM guy forever and I'm trying to figure out a way to do something like this without having to do suspension mounting points, etc, from scratch. LS3/L92, Chevy/GM throughout. The thought occured to me the other night that a C4 front/rear suspension would be a great starting point.
Thanks for the diagrams and comments.

Has anybody ever done anything to stiffen the frame of a stripped down car like Rodj's other then the typical bolt on's? I just started a project that I plan to tear down about that far and I keep thinking how it would be worth welding in some steel to stiffen the frame but I havent looked into if its been done and how yet.
