I think I answered my own question. I centered the steering wheel in the gear box and the wheels where pointing slightly to the left. I'll make both sides the same and see what that looks like.

When I rebuilt my suspension, I converted over to the bigger tie rod ends and sleeves. I measured the lengths of the old assemblies and pre-assembled the new parts to match. The car has been on a lift for a year and when I did a quick inspection before rolling it off, I noticed that the...

Teaser photo. Finally started working on this again.

I was digging around for my old 7.25 rear end to put under the explorer I'm pulling an 8.8 out of just to keep it rolling and I found a pile of parts that came with the car that I dumped behind the shed in 2004. There was a Saginaw pump and brackets along with the power steering box! I still...

Got my passenger side arm welded up.

I just bought another arm with a clean bore. For $40, it's not even worth firing up the machine.

I need the driver's side. The Hellwig bar I'm using came with the right angle brackets to attach with the shock bolts so I don't need one with a factory sway bar tab.

I'm looking for a driver's side lower control arm that will fit a 1970 Dart. It needs to be in a reasonable condition so I can rebuild it. Preferably without the sway bar tab. Thank you,

Well...I guess I need to place a want ad.

Just to confirm for everyone, the sleeve is out of the arm. I need to confirm with Peter Bergman @GMachineDartGT whether the delrin bushings are supposed to press into the arm and then the shaft rotates in the ID of the bushing. One bushing slides on and off the shaft by hand, the other was a...

Thanks! I just ordered 1.12 bars. I went back and forth on 1.06 vs 1.12 and decided to just go for it. I'll be running them with the Hotchkis adjustable shocks. I'm shooting for a ride height similar to Peter Bergman.

Do you have a part number suggestion for the taller upper bump stop?

Better picture of the inside.

I started rebuilding my lower control arms and got the bushings out to put Peter Bergman's delrin bushings in and this is what it found in the bushing bore... It looks like a previous owner did not use the washer welding method and really messed up the bore both getting the old bushing out and...

I called 440 Source and they said the Saginaw pulley they have that is keyed won't work with a slant six. They said belt alignment will be off. I'm trying to find something to use on the pump that Peter Bergman sells for use with the Borgeson gearbox. The pump is rated for 1200-1350 PSI with...

I wouldn't mind getting a new one. I just wasn't sure if there was a special offset of pulley for the slant six. Do all the Mopar power steering pumps use the same pulley besides being press fit vs keyed?

I'm looking for a pulley for a Saginaw pump for my slant six that is keyed instead of a press fit.

I took my front suspension apart yesterday for the first time in about 8 years and realized that the hub that centers the wheels is part of the disk so I'd have to machine every set of disks I put on the front. I guess that means I should just machine the wheels.

Do those of you who have put the Ford 8.8 in, do you just run your wheels as lug centric on the back since it has a smaller diameter register? I'm putting the 8.8 in my car, but I'll also be running the LMR SVE Drift 18x9 wheels on all four corners for a Mustang so the wheels will fit fine on...

I have the transmission fitted to the engine and under the car. I have cut the floor and torsion bar cross member out so that the transmission can go all the way up to level. I believe I now need to set the angle of the transmission and build the transmission cross member support, but how do...

I'm looking for Saginaw power steering pump brackets for a slant six. Thank you, Casey

Does anyone have a set of Firm Feel 1.06 torsion bars that would fit a 1970 Dart Swinger with a slant six? I would also consider other brands of torsion bars greater than 1" diameter. Thank you, Casey

Oops! I posted this on the wrong 6 speed thread. That's what I get for having too many browser tabs open on my phone. Is there a way to move it to my thread or delete both these posts altogether?

Flywheel is done. Need to attach the ring gear.

First OP on the flywheel is done.

I believe we have this figured out, with the help of a member of Slantsix.org. The bolt hole that is labeled BDC in the picture is actually TDC of #1 and it lines up with the keyway. I had my head on backwards when I looked at my crank. Too many late nights with a new baby. It was the same...

The drive shaft will use a 1310 slip yoke, but I believe up to 1350 is available. One thing to note with this transmission is that there is no speedo output. I'm planning on using the ABS ring in the Ford Explorer 8.8, but you could easily use a bolt on drive shaft speed sensor. The flywheel...

I'm about to machine a custom aluminum flywheel for my CD009 transmission swap and I am including a 36-1 trigger wheel pattern on the back side. I'm trying to figure out if the bolt pattern on the crank nose is oriented to a specific TDC event so I can place the trigger in an orientation that I...

How is your cruise rpm with the .79 5th gear?
