Thanks Man, my yokes are all 7260 I appreciate the reply tho, thanks again

Right - left swap would be easy, dash and firewall are just a mirror image. Because of Australian road rules, its only the last 15 or so years you could have an American or European LHD car registered in Australia. So back in the 70's 80's 90's you had to convert all LHD cars to RHD or you...

Yeh thats the plan, thanks.

:) very loose front suspension is the plan! Thanks for the info gentlemen, I was guessing 3000ish It was 2876lbs from the factory, power nothing, electric nothing, slant6 Pov-pack. Thanks again. P.s Cool cars by the way

Thanks Bob. I have a 489 with 3.91's and a 742 with 4.3's I'v never used the 742, Are the driveshaft lengths the same?

Ha ha ha maybe 5lbs!? didn't weigh em before or after. Looks Trick tho :cheers:

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with vehicle weights. I am currently building an Australian A-body as a bracket car, the platform and sheet metal are virtually identical to the US built cars only the steering wheel is over the other side. This thing is pretty much a Dart...

The issue I'm facing at the moment is Roll bar? Or no Roll bar? And so it comes down to how much will this thing weigh? The engine is a 10-1 440, 906's flowing 270 with an xs282 solid, 800DP on a single plane, 1 7/8 header I figure 500hp. If it weighed 3000lbs with me and hooks, its in the...

Well, Its been a long time since I posted here, and I still haven't finished this car. I originally planned for this to be my daily drive, but its now to be my race car.

??? What do we think??? The stripe looks stupid, but I was brainstorming about exterior for my car. This ain't mine, but its what mine will look like when its re-assembled, only with a scoop and big & little MT's

WOW! tell us about your chassis combo. and camshaft, trap rpm must be close to 8000

A friend had a 25RWHP (and noticeable seat of the pants) increase on a 10-1 360 with mild J's and the Mp557 cam. But he ran the old Offy port-o-sonic untouched and the MP engine manual says they need plenum work, so maybe the sucker helped the bad distribution?? My 440 likes my home made 1"...

Yeh cool mate, chuck some 28's on it :glasses2: you gunna try a 4.3 or 4.5 gear with the taller tyer? you did well runnin 9's on leafs and 26's too, good stuff. Im puttin the slicks on mine soon cos I ripped through a sidewall of 1 of my 275's. I was tryin some new springs and the 4th leaf had a...

I just had a look at that site and it shows no change in diamiter from 7.5" to 10.5" rim, everything else being the same. :dontknow:

G'day Ian, are you running offset hangers in your Ap? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DCC-4120077/ I'v got em in mine, but I still dont think i'd fit a 28x10.5 on a 10"rim. I run 275-60 hoosiers on 8's and it scrubbs bad on the street. How stable are the 28x10.5's on 8's? I got a pair on Ebay...
