Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
As always, I'm hopping back and forth between projects. I contacted Hemidenny today and talked to him about ordering a K-member assembly with a power rack, QA1 shocks, and Wilwood brakes. It's the next expenditure my son wants to make for his Charger.
This would be the first assembly we'll have gotten from him. After researching several threads on several forums we feel pretty comfortable with the decision. Denny said he will likely have the first B-body version ready to ship in a month. We had several questions regarding options. Denny knew enough about his design to help us sort things out. There were some things that we did need to know to ensure compatibility with our drive train.
If my son remains adamant about going to a dry sump oiling system I know now how the pan will have to be designed so that it clears the rack.
I know that that new disc brake setup I'd already installed won't be compatible with the spindles he uses.
One of my concerns was always going to be about a power steering pump. There never was one on the car when we got it. With a 3" blower belt it was likely going to be a nightmare setting up brackets for an alternator and a steering pump. Denny had a recommendation for a smaller low pressure pump from Speedway Motors that should be adaptable for our application.
