1962 Valiant Suspension/Brake Swap Options with other A-bodies
Forgot I also have a 69 Cuda 383 4-speed fastback, which has been sitting in the corner of my garage for years. It originally had ten inch drums all around, and an 8 3/4 rear with a 3.23 open chunk. (No sure grip behind a 383 4-speed? Who ever thought that was a good idea?) I swapped in a set of SBP disc brakes years ago. I put the front sway bar on my 67, but have all the rest of the original suspension and drivetrain, and will return the original sway bar if I ever get it back on the road.
It was originally an Iowa car, and the front fenders, inner fenders and hood were all rusty, along with one frame rail and a small amount of rust in the rear quarters, but the rest of the car is solid. Shame on me for letting it sit, but at my age I'm getting old and lazy. Also the cost to restore it correctly is discouraging.
What does this have to do with the topic at hand? Not a whole lot, just wanted to post the pic.
