Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda
Yep, just throwing out there, - sometimes it plants a seed .
Been there .
You've proven to be resourceful.
Put the starter in from behind?
I know. I do appreciate your suggestion and the interest in my project enough to make the suggestion. Its that support which has kept me from giving up, and I have been so close to giving up. A stroker slant 6 would be so easy in comparison to this. I could even maintain the Jeep 4.0 fuel managment I have purchased already. It would work great.
We have gone around on this for a while. I am trying to avoid taking a loss on this suspension and trying again. I was trying to also remain as much Mopar as possible including Brakes. Now with my Ford 8.8 rear axle, going with ford spindles and brakes to match will make it easy to keep track of what parts to ask for when it comes to brakes at least.
My next move is on the HDK or QA1. If I had the $10K cash, I would buy both kits and find which one works on this project and take a loss on the other. HDK has given me as much info as possible, and Denny has gone beyond to help me. When I called QA1 for some measurements and info, they were far from helpful. But then, what I need is so 1 off. I need to see the kits on cars so I can take measurements and judge for myself without having to impact others.
I have found a '73 duster (318 w/auto) for sale for $3k I may buy. If I do purchase, my suspension kit I have will not be wasted or sold, but used on that. This will fill my need to be crusin a classic muscle car while I start over the suspension build my Barracuda. Although that additoinal money for that car would probably make my car street-able after purchasing a new suspension package for $5k.
Again, I want to say thank you for your interest.
