All count.Home brewed,aftermarket parts.The one modification that yells "Oh Yeah!" when you did it.For the most part,going to a B and M cheapie Z gate,over the original worn out column shifter. Car felt SO MUCH BETTER! Share your experiences,and knowledge,please.
 
On my 73 Dart Sport 340(372ci)4 speed,8 3/4 I added Comp engineering Slide-a-Link for traction.These are similar to caltracs,which I bought before Caltracs...were the thing to have.Now my car hooks bigtime,without dancing all over the road.

With my 66 Dart race car,I,d have to say going with the 408 stroker.:D
 
Pettyblue ,done the 408 gig,.Best the Mopar guys did,the 4.0 crank.Want another one,Maggie based. I can tell you by personal experience,the Slide a Lincs destroy slappers,side by side.Great choice,on suspension.
 
Yes the slide-A-links work great.I also have Caltracs on the race car.Its all about traction on the street and at the strip.:D
 
:icon_smi:I was taught chassis,reliabilty,and safety,1st.That gets you a stable base.Where it's at.
 
getting my complete woodgrain rally steering wheel with the green horn button and putting it on my 70 dart. i just love the way they look and feel. best 50 bucks i ever spent now i just need the spacer that goes in between it and the column
 
I'd love a bolt in independent rear suspension based off the viper or challenger or (dare I say it) vette!
 
Grabbing cool fresh air with a Jeep breather system from my battery

I was the first and it works :D
 
"Best" ? We bought our first 67 notch back in 1980.
By 1986 that car had been rear ended not once but twice. I added more bulb sockets to the brake lamp fixtures and installed a high brake light on the package shelf. Never rear ended again so definately the "best" for the car itself.

The most recent thing I did was switch the locations of the heater controls and radio.
Definately the best thing I've done for the operator.
 
Nothing changed the way my car drove more than adding the sub-frame connectors. It was night and day difference in about a hour's worth of work. Now, I may change my mind this year when the 408 replaces the worn out 340...
 
Of all the things I have done to my car, the ONE thing I really want to have is 3-point safety belts but can't figure out an easy way to do it.
 
For me it was getting rid of the 9" manual drums and installing power disc brakes and then the home made frame connectors.
 
re-curving the dizzy and phasing the rotor, along with NGK v-powers (GR4's) made a world of difference. best 2 hours and 12 bucks i ever spent. on the to-do list is subframe connectors, 8.25 and disc swap.

This and getting mechanical/initial set properly, not the book spec, make a world of difference in how an engine performs.

One of the single best changes that can be made and VERY inexpensive to do!

Dem look like some nice baby feeders... LOL
 
Getting electric fans and aluminum radiator and running straight water with protector...Running the car with no fans at 170 is awesome, was with a hot 360 and not my 410, but hopefully still does the same
 
Bigger torsion bars: .99" T-bars at first

4" stroker crank
