Parts from C-body for my A?

MTmopars said

Hi, I just purchased a 68 barracuda notch. I have a 78 New Yorker that is the power train donor. Can any other parts from the New Yorker be used for the complete swap? Things like torsion bars, front end and disc brakes? It has and open 9 1/4" rear whereas my notch has 8 3/4 SG.

Thank you in advance for any help.

nope ...unfortunately later C-bodies like that are pretty useless.

the rear is wayyyy too wide for the cuda plus the 8 3/4 is preferable.

if you ever do a big block swap the newyorker probably has a nice cast crank 440 ......that is a lo performance 440 .....but it would scoot an A-body pretty good. i have a 78 era 440 /727 in an abody but you need to modify a lot to get in the cuda ....nothing simple bolt in here.

if your scrapping the new yorker make sure and grab the headlight motor and rod ....thats worth 100 - 150 bcoz its same as charger. ......and also the 15 inch steelies are worth holding on too ...maybe rear defrost motor if it has one......i would hang on the the driveshaft too.

other than that ....pretty useless parts car
