LSA swap frame
Will a Lsa swap possibly twist the frame of a 91 convertible camaro what would be recommended to keep this from happening if so?

Re: LSA swap frame
A cage would be a great addition to stiffen, but I don't think you're going to have to worry about that unless you hook up on the drag strip, start pulling low 60 foot times
