auto cross
I see some things of note on the Challenger:
- Tire size is at least 275 up front. (Anyone know exact sizes?)
- Tires are wide enough with increased backspace that there is slight rubbing at full lock turning (see frame rub marks)
- 14:1 Borgensen power steering box with KRC pump
- Can't tell if running Fast Ratio pitman/idler. But E-bodies can fit longer fast ratio arms that would give this car about 10:1 to 11:1 steering ratio. Rough guess: 2 to 2-1/2 turn lock to lock. I know someone that did this on a 71 Road Runner and personally he loved it.
- Looks like there is a channel cap over the front frame rail. Not sure if for strength or rust repair
- Milodon Road Race oil pan
- External oil breather catch can on passenger firewall because hard cornering will load up a valve cover and spit oil from a breather on valve cover
- It needs to have 2 throttle return springs for safety (remember the 66 Barracuda that crashed as a Good Guys event)
- Smaller diameter Tuff Steering wheel with good grip.
- High bolster cloth seat (cloth holds you in better than slippery vinyl)
- Added brake pedal covers for grip and width for better position
- Added "dead pedal" for driving aid
