Can you use a 73-76 k frame on a 72 dart and is there any benefit to doing so?
Be sure to use styling tools specially made for Wigs such as a wig styling comb, wig brush or wig pic comb. CAUTION: When styling synthetic Lace Wigs never use heating styling tools on your wig or expose your Full Lace Wigs to excess sources of heat such as: hair dryers, curling irons, open ovens, boiling water, barbecue grills and even some cigarette lighters, because the heat will damage the fibers. When styling Human Hair Wigs you can use all the tools you have used on your own hair (hair dryer, curling iron, hot rollers) and do not need to worry about heat exposure, but must use products especially formulated for Lace Front Wigs.
Yes, they use the spool motor mounts which are better.
Also, Doesn't the center link mount a little different on a 73-6 as opposed to a 70-2. I have a steering link that came from a 72 that is completely different from my 73. Like the pitman arm and idler arm mount at an angle on the center link
That is exactly what I did with the Demon. It has a 75 K-member. All of the hardware is from the 75, save the cop car steering box from an M-body. I had to swap out the pitman arm on that.
Besides having the advantage of the spool mounts for the engine, the anti-roll bar passes through the K-member, not in front of it. This allows the use of the B-body LBP disk brakes without the caliper hitting the anti-roll bar on tight turns.
The work around for LBP disk on pre-73 models is to reverse the spindles which puts the caliper on the rear side of the caster axis.
Great info Autox! Being the suspension dumbass I am, I hope you could answer this question. Is it possible to mount 245 50 16 front and 285 50 16 rear tires on a '72 Duster? My engine will be a 4" stroker and I will want to use fenderwell headers too, lol!
Yes, I want it all. I want drag strip performance yet be able to beat a 170 hp BMW 2002 through the twisties.
In summation, can this be done with a stock K-frame or will I need an Alter-K? Is this a pipe dream or can it be done? 4 wheel discs are also part of the plan plus subframe connectors and a 8 point roll bar to stiffen the chassis.
This is personal. My X keeps telling me what a great driver she is but can't even back up a moving truck, lol! And yes, she races SCCA.
Thanks Autox! This was information I was looking for.
