I have a 68 dart drag car. I installed a Magnum Force front end. They are a great product.
HOWEVER I had 2 issues, I feel all of you thinking about getting one need to know.
1) when I placed the order, I told them my car was around 3000 pounds. They messed up and sent me a 2000 pound brake kit. In Phoenix at the Nationals I almost crashed, the rotors immediately warped BAD. The people at Magnum Force would NOT do any thing. I should have sued them. I called wildwood and they said I needed a new system everything!! They lied also, I got on their web site and matched part numbers. I didn't have to get a complete brake kit but the parts to change out Magnum Forces mess up cost me nearly $500.00.
2) The width of these k members on a A body is wider than the stock A body width. I didn't think it was a big problem for me I was using a 3" front tire run on the drag strip. At the Mopar Mile High Nationals making the U turn to access the staging lanes I rolled the left front fender in. (see picture see how the lower fender rolled under I pulled it out but it's not right). A stock tire may be more of a problem, Look at my picture and see how far out the tires are in the wheel well. THE CAR SITS LOWER ALSO, THAT MAY HAVE BEEN PART OF THE PROBLEM. I have heard they have fixed this issue. CHECK into it!!
If I had to do it over, I would have had a customer front end made by one of the Hemi super stock guys! Document what you tells these guys, they out right told me I ordered them wrong, but they couldn't prove IT. Why the hell would I tell them my car was under 2000#'s??. Good Luck
