64 Dart Suspension Upgrades

Ok I found my magazine from mopar action with the following information now in checklist form

  • 73-76 stock a body pieces
  • Tension strut rod bushings changed to urethane
  • Moog k7103 problem solver upper control arm bushings
  • Gusset upper control arm mount from bracket to rail
  • Weld heavy washer to k member around nose of lower control arm stud tube
  • Frame connectors
  • Gusset upper control arm/shock tower bracket to fender apron
  • Gusset steering box mounting bracket to k member
  • 74 and up C body tie rods 11/16 bolt in
  • Urethane sway bar frame bushings
  • Box lower control arm
  • 920 torsion bars
  • 1 inch sway bar
  • Koni shocks on full firm
  • 16:1 manual steering box (firm feel)
  • Eliminate bump steer in the chassis book
Alignment specs from the green brick 1.5 degrees negative camber
2.5 positive caster
1/16 to 3/32 toe in

Rear end
  • De arched ss springs
  • Koni shocks and rancho kicker shocks from offroad dodge pickups which controls wheel hop
Brakes
  • 76 up 11.75 x 1" rotors
  • 73 up drum brake steering knuckles for large wheel bearings
  • 73 up big ball joint upper control arms
  • Viper caliper from 92 -02
  • AR engineering adapters
  • 10" x 2.5 drums on rear.
Tires were his number one improvement
  • Light weight aluminum 15 x 8 rims
  • Tires temp rating of A
  • Traction rating AA or A
  • No m&s, all season or plus 4 tires
  • Treadwear rating the lower the better. Under 100 is a weekend warrior. 100 to 240 good compromise for daily street corner carving. Over 250 soccer mom's minivan or grandmas car.
  • Wider tire equals more rubber on road. 225 fits good on dart 40-45 and 15 inch. 225/40/15
Engine is a highly tweaked 340 with w2 heads and I would have to dig deeper for the engine build.
