The stock subframe? I believe the align rods that slide from the frame into the body at the firewall mounts are 5/8" (or are they 1/2"? Can't remember anymore, lol). Between that and cross measuring, you should be able to get it perfect.

Here's a pic of the alignment holes which are outside the body bushings:

I did line up those holes and where should I use for cross measuring for squareness??
