Assuming you have a shop or somewhere to work, and a vice, simply go to your local metal supply and purchase two feet of 3/4" DOM tube 1/8" wall. Then purchase a 9/16" right hand tap, and a 9/16" left hand tap and make your own; whatever length you need. You'll spend about $ 50.00 or so, but you...

Appreciate the feedback. Looks fairly well made.

Looks like a Comp Engineering anti roll bar under there. I've thought of installing one but have never talked to anyone that had one. Do you like it and what has your experience been with it; track and street?

Isn't that the absolute truth; and there is no off button.

Uhhhhhhh yes. That is what was designed into the leaf system. By increasing the loading on the left front you are proportionally increasing the loading on the right rear, which tends to cancel the torque reaction of the rear axle, as it attempts to bury the left rear and LIFT the right rear...

You level the car by simply cranking up the driver's side torsion bar.

Exactly correct.

Don't know anything about your fabrication skills, but since you're planning to build a gasser style Dart I assume you have some. About a hundred years or so ago, I built a pair of 15 X 8 reverse chrome wheels with the small bolt circle. I did it simply because there was no such thing at the...

Absolutely incredible.

You're right, of course, in that a 340 cannot achieve 371 cubic inches by an overbore, but increasing the stroke from 3.31" (stock stroke) to 3.58" (360 stock stroke) yields 371 c.i. with only a .020" overbore.

I know you wouldn't give out misleading information intentionally, Ross. The question was not designed to cause distress in any way. The real reason for my interest is as follows: Back when Hoover was talking about building a "poor man's stroker motor" as he called it, one of his...

Yes, I understand all that, but pistons and rods don't change the stroke of the engine. Only a change in center to center distance between the mains and rod journals can do that.

I had a question about the engine in the Dart. If, as the article in Mopar Action states, the block that that engine is built from is, in fact, a 360, how is that a "stroked" engine? I would see it as simply a .060" over bored 360 with a stock stroke crank. Is that not true ?

BFGoodrich G-Force Drag Radials 325/50 x 15 on 12" wheel = 13 1/2" section width by 27 1/2" tall

What is the chrome strip used between the upper and lower section of the dash ?

Yikes !!!! This is scary stuff.

Really great to hear some balanced, sensible, non-extreme/biased comments on this subject, and I agree 100% with 72bluNblu and replicaracer43. As for the "unibodies are junk" comment; I owned several A bodies brand new, all 340 powered, and for the day they were awesome. With just headers and...

Funny thing. I didn't know there was an argument. I took it as more of just discussing the pros and cons of each, and maybe introducing something different.

If I may, I would interject a couple of facts that seem to be overlooked with regard to this subject. The real relevance of the "Hemi head" design is not whether or not it is a perfect hemispherical shape. In point of fact, neither the Gen 1 nor Gen 2 combustion chambers were perfect...

Beautifully and tastefully done.

Always nice to get a deal!

Latemodelrestoration.com sells power Mustang II r & p for $ 299.00. That's almost free isn't it ? Lol

So when you said you didn't know which r & p, you meant power or manual.

Just curious; what are those spindles from? They look like rear steer pieces.

Glad to help.

On a suspension system using unequal length control arms, the tie rod cannot parallel the lower control arm. The reason is, that as the suspension cycles through it's travel, the kingpin angle of inclination changes, relative to the lower ball joint. That in turn moves the OUTER tie rod pivot...

Well, I have a ton of pictures on jump drives somewhere that I could dig up. I'm gone for a couple of months, but I'll maybe see what I actually have when I get back. I did lose a bunch of early pictures due to computer failure, but they were just mainly of moving the rear frame rails and so...

I've never been much of a follower. Always taken the road less traveled and all that sort of thing.

Steering hook up was simple enough, but I build my own headers, so you establish all the prioritized hardware, and then route the header accordingly. Ground clearance is good; the body of the r & p is 5/8" above the lower plane of the k member. The engine is a 6.1 Hemi crate motor. I built...
