There are several key reasons why convertibles and long-wheelbase cars (over 118") should use this chassis. In the case of convertibles, they essentially have no structure above the rocker panel and need extra rigidity to support the center of the body.

Long-wheelbase cars have a similar issue with chassis flex, due to the torsional action of the stretched frame. To provide owners of convertibles, long wheelbase sedans and hardtops with the best possible ride and handling, the engineering team at Art Morrison Enterprises has developed a specially reinforced chassis that features 4"x4" main rails. This has been accomplished by merging the 2"x4" front subframe with a 4"x4"x .180" wall square tube main rail, resulting in remarkable rigidity in the area where an OEM frame is likely to flex.

### It's All About The Stance

Of course, "stance" is all-important with any custom vehicle. And Morrison can engineer the chassis to provide the exact ride height you desire. With the frame rails configured to the exact year/make/model vehicle, it's a fairly straightforward task installing the chassis. The 4x4 main rail chassis can be designed for use in both "unibody" and full-frame vehicles.

Many builders don't want to deal with taking a body completely off the frame, or simply prefer to do the chassis modifications on a smaller scale. That's why Art Morrison has developed the "bikini subframe" package. You can adapt this section to your existing frame and ultimately enjoy the benefits of a contemporary suspension. Give us a call for more information.

### AME GR Sport Front CLips For Camaro Firebird

The engineering team at Art Morrison Enterprises has made a good thing even better through some subtle —yet important— revisions to AME's popular GT Sport Front Clip for early Camaro, Firebirds and Novas. For example, the ride height has been lowered by 1-1/4" over previous designs.

![](https://cms.artmorrison.com/assets/778c5c9f-5ac7-41e9-9a0c-bf0fce614785)

![](https://cms.artmorrison.com/assets/f1467f47-809a-45e8-bbec-da2ffac562e1)


Big block, small block and LS-series Chevy engines can be employed, as well as virtually any popular automatic or manual transmission—including Richmond 5/6-speeds, Tremec T56 and TKO, Muncie, Powerglide, TH-350 & 400, 700-R4 and 4L60E—thanks to a series of available mounts.

Designed through use of FEA (finite element analysis) the 105 lb. front clip has outstanding strength and stiffness, yet is significantly lighter than the bulky OEM unit. With a reduced unsprung weight, forged aluminum C6 Corvette control arms, a shortened front view swing arm, modified caster, and adjustable coil-over shocks, Morrison's GT-Sport clip will provide awesome handling. It comes with a near-stock tread width for optimum wheel fitment opportunities, and can use a wider-than-stock tire (265/35R18 tested).

![](https://cms.artmorrison.com/assets/0fa8b809-f025-41a2-b958-ad3dded9443a)

As no cutting or welding is required, installing a GT-Sport clip can be performed by most competent do-it-yourselfers in the comfort of their own garage. With an aggressive, lower stance and incredible handling characteristics, the look and "feel" of a Morrison GT-Sport Clip-equipped Camaro is unbeatable!

![](https://cms.artmorrison.com/assets/6d82c1cf-4b9b-412f-afe7-45b4eb210e66)

A number of accessories are available to make the installation easier, including a wide variety of brake options along with body mounts, headers, and a brake line kit.

### TWO HIGHLY EFFECTIVE REAR SUSPENSION SETUPS FOR 1967-1969 CAMAROS

Improve the handling and ride of any 1st generation Camaros with an expertly engineered Art Morrison GT-sport rear subframe. Rugged 2"x4" mandrel-formed frame rails are far superior to the flimsy OEM stampings and are designed to be used with the stock gas tank.

You have a choice between a highly effective 3-link suspension that employs a special Watts linkage for lateral stability.

![](https://cms.artmorrison.com/assets/143adafb-9cc3-43d9-81fb-4215386ed503)

Or a compact triangulated 4-bar setup that fits under the stock Camaro floorpan. Both have provisions to locate the exhaust for optimum ground clearance.

![](https://cms.artmorrison.com/assets/441b9085-b583-4e71-8a99-6c6f4672dbd9)

### Standard 4-Bar Rear Suspension Package

For many applications, the 4-bar suspension is preferred. Operating on the principle of a "constant motion parallelogram," the design of the 4-bar is such that the rear end housing is always perpendicular to the ground—pinion angle never changes. This, combined with the lateral stability of the Panhard Bar, does an excellent job of locating the rear end and keeping it in proper alignment. Call for specific pricing and design assistance.

### Air Spring Plus Rear Suspension Package

Now you can enjoy the benefits of an air spring suspension and 4-bar housing control with these handy packages from Art Morrison Enterprises. You'll weld the innovative rear brackets (which also serve to mount the bottom of the air spring and locate the suspension bars) to the rear end housing, attach the 4-bar front brackets to a crossmember, and affix the top air bag mount to your frame or supplied crossmember ("Big Bag" kit). The "Standard" kit is ideally suited to most compact and intermediatesized vehicles, while the "Big Bag" kit is designed for use on heavier cars and trucks. The primary differences between the two kits are the use of hefty 2,000 lbs. rated air bags and heavy-duty brackets. These combine to provide the extra capacity required for long-term reliability. The kits contain premium quality Firestone air bags, 4-bars bars equipped with AME's own polyurethane-bushed stainless steel rod ends, mounting brackets and all required hardware. Replace the coil or leaf spring setup on your car or truck with an Art Morrison Air Spring+Plus suspension for a better ride and the ability to easily adjust ride height at the flick of a switch. We also manufacture Air Spring-Plus front subframes so you can easily convert the vehicle over to an all-air suspension for a great ride with complete adjustability. See page 41.

G3 Rods 37 Packard uses our Air Spring Plus Chassis.

### What Your Should Know About "Air Spring Plus" Suspension

Pressure inside the air spring dictates ride height.  Dropping pressure from roughly 90 lbs. to 50 lbs. (depending on vehicle weight) will lower vehicle about 4 inches...it takes about 10 seconds.  On-board air tank facilitates inflating air spring back to normal ride height...takes about 15 seconds to reinflate the air spring.   Special on-board 12-volt air compressor maintains tank pressure.  External inlet line with inflation valve can be used to provide auxiliary air for tires, rafts, balls, and many other toys.
Pressure in excess of 90 lbs. will serve to slightly alter frequency rate, with minimal effect on ride "stiffness".  Air spring pressure lower than 40 lbs. will significantly alter frequency rate and cause vehicle to bottom out.

Owners of 1967-72 Chevy C10 pickups can obtain superior handling, improved ride quality and an attractive, lower stance through replacing their OEM chassis with a superbly engineered, precision crafted GT Sport chassis from AME. It's a bolt-in project with no welding required.

Using 3D scanning to assure a perfect fit, combined with sophisticated design software, AME's engineering team has developed a contemporary chassis that provides a 5-6" ride height with nothing protruding below; the 3" exhaust is routed through the frame rails and engine placement is optimized so the oil pan is flush with the bottom of the frame. The husky 2" x 6" frame features FEA-optimized chassis braces to significantly stiffen the platform.

![](/assets/7e8999a9-189d-46cc-b20d-ba38d91f970d)

It's an evolution of our proven 1947-53 chassis that transforms any classic pickup into a true high performance vehicle.

### Front Suspension

The front suspension features Wilwood forged aluminum spindles with an integrated modular bearing assembly and serviceable ball joints.

## Design Features Of GT Sport Chassis For 49-54 Chevrolet

### FRONT SUSPENSION

Up front, Morrison's engineering team has developed a sophisticated Independent Front Suspension (IFS) that employs tubular steel control arms, adjustable coil-over shocks, a beefy sway bar and Wilwood front spindles. A power rack & pinion (20:1 ratio) handles the steering.

![](/assets/8fe4ab14-4800-4fd7-ba46-8efd15cdb1e9)

### Engine & Transmission Mounts For A Variet Of Applications

Since most builders will want to have something more potent than the original 6-cylinder "stovebolt" engine, the chassis will also have motor mounts for the popular small block V8, or the new LS-series powerplants. Likewise, a wide variety of manual and automatic transmissions can be employed, including Powerglide, TH350, TH400 and 700R4 automatics, plus any 4-speed, Tremec TKO and T-56 6-speed, as well as Richmond 5 or 6-speed manual transmissions.

## State Of The Art Handling

### CAN WE BUILD ONE FOR YOU

Due to popular demand, we have developed another GT Sport chassis for the First Generation Corvette; one that uses an AME Sport IFS front suspension with a Wilwood spindle instead of C6 Corvette components and facilitates the use of front wheels with diameters down to 15". Like our original GT Sport chassis, you can simply unbolt the stock 1953-62 Corvette chassis, roll it away, and replace the ancient technology with 21st Century dynamics. Moreover, you can easily upgrade to LS power and most any popular standard shift or automatic transmission.

Extensive engineering and suspension analysis confirms that the performance of this new C1 chassis is on an even par with our original GT Sport chassis with C6 components. Given the proper amount of horsepower, big brakes and a good set of high performance tires, it's quite possible to achieve 1+Gs in acceleration, braking and the skid pad.

### 1953-1962 C1 'Vette GT Sport Chassis With AME Sport IFS

![](/assets/8a808427-7f4a-492e-bb59-7c2d030e25d1)

### Front Suspension

The AME GT Sport 53-62 Corvette chassis has been updated to use our Sport IFS and will now allow the use of 15" or larger wheels.

The Sport IFS is augmented by Strange adjustable coil-over shocks and an adjustable anti-sway bar, while it also utilizes a power rack & pinion steering. This makes for nimble, sure-footed handling that's a quantum improvement over stock.

The iconic 1963-67 Stingray Corvette, which can be attributed to noted designers Bill Mitchell, Pete Brock and Larry Shinoda, can easily be upgraded to incorporate contemporary handling, ride and stance. The engineering team at Art Morrison Enterprises, working with leading builders, has developed the latest addition to AME's series of "bolt-on" GT Sport chassis for C2 applications. Important features include a track width that is slightly narrower than stock to accommodate a lower ride height (and capability of using wider tires than stock-framed Corvettes), a sophisticated application-specific I.F.S. with steering Ackermann similar to high-end European sports cars that improves midcorner front grip and stability, plus the highly-acclaimed AME Multi-Link IRS. A solid rear end setup is optional.

![](/assets/cd64a65e-7f54-45c4-a237-870a975bbc47)

Designed through use of FEA (finite element analysis) the 105 lb. front clip has outstanding strength and stiffness, yet is significantly lighter than the bulky OEM unit. With a reduced unsprung weight, forged aluminum C6 Corvette control arms, a shortened front view swing arm, modified caster, and adjustable coil-over shocks, Morrison's GT-Sport clip will provide awesome handling. It comes with a near-stock tread width for optimum wheel fitment opportunities, and can use a wider-than-stock tire (265/35R18 tested).

![](/assets/09f473c7-297d-4e64-9cf7-7e7819169eed)

![](/assets/d02f138b-26fa-4242-9eea-a25086f51ba3)

As no cutting or welding is required, installing a GT-Sport clip can be performed by most competent do-it-yourselfers in the comfort of their own garage. With an aggressive, lower stance and incredible handling characteristics, the look and "feel" of a Morrison GT-Sport Clip-equipped Camaro is unbeatable!

![](/assets/5b937734-ab38-4654-b273-448ad9504dab)

## GT Sport Rear Subframes For 1967-1969 Camaro

### THREE Highly Effective Rear Suspension Setups For 1967-1969 Camaros

Improve the handling and ride of any 1st generation Camaros with an expertly engineered Art Morrison GT-sport rear subframe. Rugged 2"x4" mandrel-formed frame rails are far superior to the flimsy OEM stampings and are designed to be used with the stock gas tank.

You have a choice between a highly effective 3-link suspension that employs a special Watts linkage for lateral stability.

![](/assets/cd09b243-2e55-43b4-928b-6f49d13b9d6a)

A compact triangulated 4-bar setup that fits under the stock Camaro floorpan. Both have provisions to locate the exhaust for optimum ground clearance.

![](/assets/58d4897c-5fdb-40d2-8f30-716d5c9b1bad)

The third choice comes in the form of AME's new Multilink I.R.S. Based on a rugged Strange S60 center section and half-shafts with CV joints, its primary advantage is independently compensating for any bumps or road irregularities to always provide an optimum tire contact patch.


![](/assets/c79cc6da-dc23-4a95-9497-3db6a949dcf7)

Strange Engineering adjustable coil-over shocks are used in both suspension systems, as are a special sway bar. Both come with a 9" rear end housing. Many brake options are also available.

## Design Features Of The AME GT Sport Chevelle Chassis

### Specially Designed "Angled" Main Frame Rails Unique To The GT Sport Chassis For the Chevelle & GM A Body

The biggest challenge faced by AME's designers was to place the chassis as far under the body as possible to reduce the amount of frame visible from under the car. They developed a unique inner angled frame rail that tucks right under the floor pan. This provides an increase in ground clearance, which allows for a lower stance. And, as you know, lowering the CG of a vehicle improves its handling.

![](/assets/c04ff2c3-5137-4e3e-a044-4b5f255d9a25)

Our goal is to provide Chevelle owners with a great overall ride, while still providing exceptional corner-carving ability. Extensive development work on the suspension package has resulted in optimizing various parameters (camber angle, roll center, caster angle, CG, etc.) and the creation of suspension components that will deliver optimum handling, ride and "0" bump steer.

### Front Suspension

Includes Sport IFS control arms, modified C6 steering knuckles, bearings and hubs, Strange adjustable shocks with springs, front sway bar, along with power rack and pinion steering.

The "GT Sport Performance" chassis features "Sport" IFS with beefy 1 5/16" diameter upper control arms and upsized poly-bushed rod ends that combines with coil-over shocks and anti-sway bar (both adjustable) to provide exact handling. The ride height is quite low and requires the bed floor to be raised about two inches.

### Economical "Standard" Configuration

The beefy 2x6 main rails and strategically placed crossmembers serve to provide a solid foundation for any engine and transmission combination, with adjustable coil-overs on all four corners and an anti-sway bar complimenting the IFS, it's easy to get the perfect balance of performance and comfort. A power rack & pinion makes steering a breeze.

### Rear Suspension Kit

Adapting a hefty 9" rear end housing and 4-bar rear suspension to your 1947-53 Chevy truck is easy with this superbly engineered kit from AME. It starts with a 2x6 crossmember that includes mounting brackets for the four bars (which have poly-bushed stainless steel rod ends). A tubular crossmember, with upper coil-over mounts, is attached to the frame using four brackets that also serve to reinforce the rails. The 9" housing is made to your desired width and fitted with mounts for the coil-overs and 4-bar suspension. Strange adjustable coil-over shocks and a lateral stabilizer bar (with mount) complete the package.

If you're building a "sleeper," Art Morrison's new chassis for 1947-53 Chevrolet pickup trucks is key. Imagine a 60-plus year-old truck that handles like a new Corvette.

1947-1953 Chevrolet Truck Chassis

![](/assets/dc2e1f37-7f16-478a-8097-037a05a0e36d)

Morrison's GT Sport chassis for 1955-59 Chevy/GMC pickups is the foundation for a "Resto-mod" truck that combines a contemporary stance, great handling and a comfortable ride with classic styling. And it's an expertly engineered swap that do-it-yourselfers can easily accomplish. What's more, investing in a Morrison GT Sport chassis today pays big dividends in the performance and value of your ride.

AME now offers all the performance and convenience of its bolt-on GT Sport chassis for the popular 1955-59 Chevy "Task Force" series pickup trucks and its GMC counterpart.

![](/assets/61d9d297-ee92-4459-a7ed-fb3c1674ac67)

It's an evolution of our proven 1947-53 chassis that transforms any classic pickup into a true high performance vehicle.

### Front Suspension

Engineered to provide both corner-carving handling and a great ride, the chassis employs AME's "Sport" independent front suspension with beefy 1-5/16" o.d. upper control arms and an adjustable coil-over shock assembly.

![](/assets/99c66927-ad2e-4ad5-aa94-999ae6296681)

![](/assets/a686a646-1981-4fee-971c-285f2f60447d)


### Rear Suspension

Like our other truck chassis, you have a choice of two different ride heights. One is quite low, per contemporary trends, and requires that the bed floor be raised three inches. The other provides a "standard" ride height and requires no modifications whatsoever. The extremely rigid 2x6 frame rails allow for plenty of room for the exhaust for optimum ground clearance. A 4-bar suspension with "Johnny-Joint" rod ends and a Panhard bar provide the best possible rear suspension performance for the reinforced 9" rear.

1953-1956 Ford F100 Trucks

Now your classic 1955-1957 Chevy can have the handling characteristics of an exotic sports car! All it takes is a CAD engineered replacement chassis from Art Morrison Enterprises Inc., and it's a project that most competent do-it yourselfers can accomplish in their own home garage. Little or no welding is required to install this chassis.

![](/assets/7b40b5e0-4928-4010-a570-ee540ae79efd)

Up front, we've designed a suspension that provides an excellent combination of ride comfort, cornering agility and high speed stability. Tubular steel control arms and Strange Engineering adjustable coil-over shocks are employed, while a matched rate 1" diameter sway-bar controls body roll.

![](/assets/ab73f2f6-f8e6-4332-be1b-2c7e0eb545bd)

In place of the antiquated OEM steering box we offer the superb power rack & pinion from DSE. The 20:1 ratio is ideally suited for most highway driving. Other options available.

![](/assets/8fbf8baa-4afe-416c-be2e-5da2548d00a7)

The chassis has been engineered to accommodate all popular transmissions, including Powerglide, TH350, TH400, and 700-R4 automatics, as well as any 4-speed, Tremec TKO and T-56 6-speed, Richmond 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmissions.

**1955-1957 MULTILINK IRS TRI5 CHASSIS**

![](/assets/174bb5ea-5125-4b41-a7cd-48aef71d6fb0)

There are a number of important handling and ride advantages to an independent rear suspension. Probably the most noteworthy is the IRS's ability to compensate for bumps and irregularities in the road (or track) and maintain the tire's vertical axis perpendicular to it. The net result is an optimum "contact patch" for both right and left tires. And the semi-active steering components increases cornering performance for autocross, track day and canyon carving.

![](/assets/b2680490-09cb-4bb9-bbb4-e52b0cc9035c)

AME's Multilink IRS is based on the Strange Engineering S60 differential, which is capable of handling more than 1400 HP with ease. Bring on the power adders!

**GIVE ANY 55-57 CHEVY "SPORTS CAR HANDLING" WITH A MORRISON TRI5 CHASSIS!**

Imagine having a car that has the classic looks of a Tri-5 Chevy combined with the ability to handle curves like a slot car, stop on a dime, and accelerate like a rocket. It's easy when an Art Morrison "GT Sport" chassis is part of the equation. We made it happen by putting the chassis underneath an otherwise-stock 1955 Chevy. Comprehensive skid pad, slalom, acceleration and braking tests confirm that Morrison's GT55 performs like a sports car.

## The Maxg Chassis Using The Sport C6/3-Link MaxG Combo

### Perfect For Track Day!

Thanks in part to our new dropped steering arm C6 spindles, we've been able to engineer a chassis that brings the C6 front suspension to many platforms. And when combined with the a 3-Link rear suspension utilizing a Watts linkage, the corner-carving capability of cars equipped with a Max G chassis is beyond comprehension. Build your next ride on this platform and it will be difficult to wipe the smile off your face!

![](/assets/2be2f9b8-0c2b-41ba-8ffe-e4f2d574d234)

Morrison has re-engineered the C6 front spindle with a lower steering arm mount. This allows the rack to be mounted lower in the chassis, providing extra engine clearance and a lower center of gravity!

Super Chevy magazine Suspension Challenge test driver Mary Pozzi, an 11-time SCCA Autocross Champion - summed it all up by saying "This is THE BEST suspension I've ever felt underneath a car on a track." That's a strong testimonial from a highly credentialed professional.

![](/assets/993ea7af-91e4-446d-9b6f-90f72ae2e25b)

Matt Jones' familiar 1969 Camaro was fitted with the prototype AME Multilink IRS and taken to Super Chevy magazine's "Suspension Challenge" held at Willow Springs Raceway in California. The car easily out-handled even the new Camaro SS and earned glowing accolades from all who drove it.


## IRS TechniCAL Features & Benefits

### Functionally independent Design

The decoupled links allow changes to one parameter without affecting others. For example, during the design phase we were able to make an adjustment to the camber curve with little or no effect on the roll center. This gives you the freedom to set the car up for optimal handling under varying conditions.

![](/assets/e4dc9e86-d4f5-482d-9a01-e21e76b91b18)

### DIRECT Load Paths

Through use of decoupled lower links a direct load path is created that prevents control arm failure. Moreover, most bushings are loaded in their radial direction formaximum stiffness.

![](/assets/717a929c-9446-4210-9879-bc5f4034759f)


### Superior Knuckle Support

Typical wishbone designs attach at three points in single shear. The Morrison Multilink IRS has four attachment points to control freedom of movement, three of which are double-shear attachments.

![](/assets/3b454cd1-bdfd-4ebd-9be6-83f51179c370)


### Improved Wheel Control

With the AME Multilink IRS you can establish functionally independent camber, caster and toe curves. Moreover, critical toe link locations can be tuned to allow dynamic steering while maintaining stability in high bump situations. For example, you can have up to 1° toe at max bump travel. The minimized link deflection and high durometer bushings help maintain precise wheel alignment.

![](/assets/b4572655-cd8d-436e-b7f3-23fdbd1b464f)

### Ride Quality Improvements

Unsprung vehicle weight is reduced by approximately 100 lbs., requiring less spring rate to control wheel movement. NVH (noise/vibration/harshness) is reduced because it must travel through three sets of bushings before reaching the driver's compartment.

![](/assets/ef73c0a9-943f-4b5e-b739-40380903fd8e)

### Unique Cradle Design

Not only does this facilitate installation of the Multilink IRS in most Morrison GT Sport chassis, but makes it easily adaptable to other vehicles. It can be aligned to the vehicle during installation and provides excellent serviceability. Loads from the coil-overs transfer to the vehicle frame, not the suspension cradle.

### The AME Multilink IRS Will Fit Most Of Our Chassis

The IRS will be available for just about everything we make, whether it is one of our GT Sport bolt-on chassis, custom builder's chassis or a rear subframe. Available in 4 different track widths, there's an application for just about every car out there. While there are many aftermarket IRS options available these days, the Multilink IRS is the first multi-link design and also the first IRS design that actually improves the cornering performance of the vehicle!

AME Multilink Independent Rear Suspension

### More Compact Version For Tighter Applications

Now, the engineering team at Art Morrison Enterprises has developed a more compact version of the Multi-Link IRS that utilizes key components from a Gen 5 Camaro and fits in a much tighter envelope. The cradle is 6-1/4" shorter overall and 2-1/2" lower from the axle centerline up than our original Multi-Link IRS. This allows an independent rear suspension to be used in many applications without the need to extensively modify the trunk's sheet metal for clearance.

![](/assets/76f9f0ad-2d52-4fdc-9692-93988b0f650a)
