Got the part numbers from the seller. Everyone is correct that they are made to be used in conjunction with caltracs. Thanks for the info everyone

The guy is getting me the part number in the morning and I’ll call Calvert on Monday morning. Thanks guys

No he states they are 1” lower springs for a body mopar. I assume that by the photo he posted that they were for a 72 dart. They were never installed though which makes me wonder

I found a pair of Calvert split mono springs someone locally has posted for sale for 200. My question is would they work with my car. I have a 70 swinger with a 7 1/4 currently but I have a 8 3/4 from a b wagon car that I’m wanting to put in. Says they are split mono 2000 but I can’t seem to...

I should have stated in my original post that I have a 70 swinger. The car had original SBP drums front and rear. The other rearend I’m putting in has BBP as well. Do I need to upgrade the master cylinder or will the old one work with the bigger brakes and just change out the prop valve?

A few years back I bought and installed OER MN5005B....front disc brake conversion kit with tubular uppers from classic industries. My question is what lowers will work with this kit?. Should I just rebuild my stock lowers or buy qa1 lowers. Also I’m going to stick with torsion bar set up. I’ve...

Sorry to not clarify a budget, it all depends on the hours I can get at working 3 jobs and trying to have a kid. If I work more hours it could be 100-400 a week. It just depends on the hours I can work and keep the wife happy. I'm not to concerned with price. Ideally I'd like to stay under 3k I...

The guy I have been talking to about the 400 said I could hear it run but it is out of the car. He said it came out of a 69/70 New Yorker. I'm not sure but what I could find was that the 69/70 New Yorker came with a 440 not 400. The only casting number he gave me was 400-1 he hasn't sent me the...

That's exactly my point. If I wanted to put in another motor right now I would go ahead and buy the 400. I want to know can I build what I have not wait 20weeks and build a motor I don't have.....the whole point of the thread was to build what I have not get a new motor/trans/rear end.

It's not so much about what I can afford to spend as to what I have to work with at the moment. I have found a 400/727 for $450 but I know there would be ALOT more to do to make it fit. I will be able to afford like $100 a week to throw at the car.

Ok so I've been going back and forth on what I should do. I've read a lot but the main thing I'm getting is you need to change this or that....I have a 318/a904/7.25 in my 70 dart. My question is how can I get the best performance out of what I already have. I would like a street/strip build. I...

Bbp. I have already done a disc brake conversion on the front which is now bbp.

Yea I texted the guy about it but haven't heard anything back

He has it for sale for $100 and if I can find a shop around where I'm at I will get them to narrow it. I haven't done much with gears and axles so I'm a little lost. For $100 I don't know if I can pass it up

It came out of a 67
