If you have a welder and a chop saw. I would buy 1.5 x 3 steel tube and make them. About $40.00 in metal and you do not have to cut the floor. You will also need 2 - 3 x 5 pieces of plate steel for the ends. I have done one set on a 68 Dart and will be putting a set in a 64 Dart in the near...
How far do you want to run to get it. There is a late 60's Dart on craigslist in Washington DC - under the 25K - and runs a 10.59 on pump gas the owners says - Check it out. Looks Good! To rich for my blood

Thanks, Sam

Rim size is 15" standard mopar steel wheels
What I would like to know is, what is the tallest and widest rear tire i can run without it rubbing on the body or the...
Thanks,
I will build an engine stop and start the process. Once I have the engine stop, I find TDC - CW (make a mark on the balancer) and TDC - CCW make a mark on the balance)and 0 degrees should be halfway between the two marks.
Correct???
A friend was very nice and gave me a 318 engine that he had. The time chain cover and balance and lower pulley were on the engine. I added other pieces and parts and struck the engine in my 68 Dart. I made sure the number one piston was at TDC, I made sure the distributor gear was lined up at...
