Anybody running the RMS AlterKation? Was it really worth the cost?
After driving my 340-powered '66 Valiant (with 6-cylinder torsion bars!) from 1972 to '77, then swapping the 340 into my '65 Barracuda and driving that one with torsion bars until 2015, I looked at all possibilities, including all the brands mentioned in this thread as well as a complete upgrade of the torsion bar setup. There are a lot of great features of the T-bar system, but ultimately my decision to go with a 3rd gen hemi was the deciding factor in my suspension choice. We are not quite there yet, but I will be interested to see what happens. I am using Detroit Speed's "Alumaframe" system; this one is designed for an early Mustang, but with new frame rails by Hot Rod Chassis and Cycle, it mounts like it was born there, and nobody has to know I have Ford parts. Super easy caster/camber adjustment, and plenty of room for the aluminum 433 hemi and headers!
