SS Dana Axle?

According to the "Authentication Guide" (pg32, sect.4), "a standard B-body width axle should be used with the spring mounts moved in 1.30ins.per side to fit the necessary 41.44 width of the Hemi configuration". Keep in mind these cars, from the factory, used a weird wheel (part #2836903). FYI, I used the old Mopar spring re-location kit and a set of 15x10 wheels with a 4 1/4BS. It's close & allows me to use a 10.5 tire.

Yes, the SS Guide has been very useful, but in my case, I double check things regardless.
For example I couldn´t find any thing about the rear wheel opening on the Cudas, or the front on both Cudas and Darts for that matter. I had notised this for many years, but at the time, you didn´t mess with the big guys.
Think of it... it is impossible to run 29-30" tall tires like the Darst did, in a Cuda wheel opening, unless you cut an inch, an inch and a half of front lower lip.
Front opening had lower front edge cut to accommondate 28-29" tall front runners.
According to NHRA rules, you coulden´t touch wheel openings, so Hurst did all this. Internal wheel well though, was alowed to be trimmed/massaged . In´72 minor movement of shock and spring mounts were allowd, and this is when minitubing started.
Another interesting detail would have been the K-member. Worth a chapter of its own I thing.
