Thought I'd say hello, as I'm new around here. I've been doing a lot of research for my latest project, a 71 Demon I'm doing for a good friend of mine.

We're going from the slant 6 to a 318 we're planning to build along the lines of this article...not after maximum horsepower as much as a fun cruiser, so if we get 300 we'll be happy.

I've collected a lot of parts already, but I'm still on the hunt for a few. We're doing the big brakes outlined in this article, but I still need the R-body caliper brackets.

According to this, I think we'll be fine with an 8.25" rearend, and I think the extra 2 inches will help with wheel selection, so I'm looking for a B body rear. This also gets us up to the LBP on both ends, which is good.

I picked up a Dakota bellhousing and clutch setup this weekend, and I'm looking for an R154. I haven't been able to determine what that's going to do to the driveshaft length, but we'll measure it both ways and find out if and when we get there.

I also need a power steering setup (box, pump, bracket, and lines) and a power brake booster.

I'm personally a Ford guy (the Demon is next to my 67 Mustang Convertible out in the shop) but I'm excited to dive into the Mopar world. I may not have much to add, but I will be sharing pictures (and part numbers) as I go.

If anyone has any leads on any of these parts, especially in the Nashville TN area, please let me know. I'm also open to suggestions, of course!

Thanks!
