    Aluminum vs cast iron cylinder head suspension effects

    Ha! Put some blocks on the pedals and scoot the seat back! That way, I don't need to stop eating ice cream.

    locating leaf spring sliders

    Do you have any drawings or notes on the fabrication for the slider mounts you made up? I have the materials (1/4" steel plate) sitting at work ready to be cut and welded. Never mind, I found your photo with dimensions. Thanks! I'll be looking to get these fabbed up in the near future! Have you...

    16:1 vs. 24:1 steering

    I think I remember reading an article a few years back about using the steering setup from a Toyota for this conversion. I can't remember the donor car, I want to say prius.

    Doctor Diff suspension rebuild kit

    I have not used it. That said, my experience with Cass has been 100% positive. He walked me through ordering all my stuff. The S-60, perches and locations, brakes, proportioning valve. Everything was correct. :thumbsup:

    Power steering……can I temporarily bypass the hose??

    Yes you can. Convert your power steering to Armstrong Steering. I drove with Armstrong Steering (trademark, patent pending lol) for close to 5 years. Is it smart? Well, I'm still here.

    Espo +2" springs

    Should I keep my power steering

    I am ditching the power steering and power brakes when I get the 360 built. The barracuda isn't my daily driver anymore. Vacuum? We don't got no vacuum. We don't need no stinking vacuum!

    8.75 to dana

    I went from an A904 and 7.25 to an A727 and Dana 60. I bought a new and balanced drive shaft, which was around $300-$450, can't remember the price and don't really want to. I just don't remember the difference in length either. I was willing to eat cheap food, and forego snacks and sodas for a...

    Tubular control arms vs rebushing

    Having run both there Rocco, how significant is the handling difference? Is it worth the cost of the upgrade for what would be a daily driver and twice a month 1/4 mile car? Or even for spirited driving on windy back roads?

    Schwartz Performance G-Machine Chassis

    How the hell do you "bolt on" a unibody to that? Our cars ain't trucks with a separate frame.

    .92 to 1.03 bars

    I have a set of the 1.03's but I havent installed them yet, and after thinking about it, I may not because they wont give as good weight transfer on launch. I have actually been thinking of stepping down in size to the /6 torsion bars.

    power to manual steering swap

    Why was it a mistake? cost to switch? difficulty to steer? other?

    What kind of paint are you using on suspension, steering, and brake parts?

    The bits I've gotten so far have been powder coated black. Differential and shock plates from Dr. Diff. The 1.03 torsion bars from PST were black, but not powder coated. Paint, I guess.

    Super Stock Springs and Rear End Questions

    Once everything is where you want it, measure for drive shaft length, then you can get yours cut and balanced if needed. I could have gone off other peoples' measurements, or the technical information printed by chrysler, but I am getting mine together and measuring TWICE, cutting ONCE.
