That's what I needed to know. Thank you sir.

Interesting. thanks for the info and the only markings I see on the runner are 10j on one head and 8K on the other in the location where dates are normally cast.

That's where I'm lost, no stamped letters, no 1. in fact I don't even see a date code on them

J,o,u? I'm not sure what I've got here casting number 348915-A. They have got 1.88/1.6 valves.

Been busy with school starting back ,also been brain storming on some different ways I can get this thing mounted and keep alignment provisions for thrust angle. I'm thinking IF all measures up correctly I can use a similar front mount to the leaf spring front mount and make a rear mount where I...

Geometrically too long fore and aft (interferes with how it would operate) or is it just because of the gas tank? Because I'm switching to a fuel cell as I'm lowering the car and would prefer a speedbump not knock a hole in my tank.

I actually have another thread open on a potential IRS swap. One guy has done it.. I'm going to take a different approach if I can. Very interesting topic as well. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=301576 Hopefully my next thread will be updates and a t56 conversion. (will...

Thanks for the info 72. I think for my specific application a coil over design may be the way to go but the things you have said make sense. I think with my current plans I'll benefit from the extra room more than anything.

Car isn't on the road and has been off for nearly a year now. I'm trying to think long term on the build. Stock stuff is shot and I'm fine cutting on the car so I figure it's better to spend money on the things you want than to keep it limping along with parts you intend to replace. Know what I...

What exactly are the disadvantages? I need Facts/Numbers not trying to put you on the spot, but you and Denny seem to be the guys who understand the geometry of these cars.

Oh.. Just saying you seem to build good stuff from what your buyers say... and that if you get that 4 link system built and start selling it then it'll be tough for guys running other set-ups to compete with cars running yours. And good luck on the designs you are currently working on. (guess...

Good read.:study: Thanks for the links. I'm definitely going to buy that book you noted in your article. I'm going to head to the drawing board ASAP. A few questions though. Why couldn't the stock cage mounts be modified to mount to the frame rails under the car? Seems like that would solve a...

From what these guys say about your setups will be hard to compete with cars running your full system. Best of Luck

Might just have to take you up on that haha. In your opinion what is the benefits of that style system over the other as far as feel and adjustability?

I think with my needs the HDK sounds like a good fit. I'm still a little ways out from purchasing anything but if I can get this 8.8 to fit then the rest has been done before and I'll have a better idea what to expect. Denny ever put any thought into IRS systems?

Well at least I feel a little better knowing somone else is looking into it. Thanks for the link.

How does the engine location change? Back forward up down? Or is there like custom mounts?

For me it is largely for learning... if a mistake is made it can always be fixed (usually). In my mind I feel the IRS system has a lot of potential and a good 8 3/4 with a 4 link for handling is a bit pricey. If this was going to be a car intended to run in straight lines and undertake clutch...

It's probably fair to say I haven't given the torsion bar setup a fair chance considering my 71 is the only car I've ever been in with torsion bars and it was far gone when it was handed down to me. I like that both sides of the argument are legitimate and either way I go here there is hope for...

I don't have much $ in the rear at the moment and I have another thread open for the front suspension. Been discussing pros and cons of different systems. After taxes comes back I'm going to buy a t56 or tr6060 or the front end. The plans I currently have are going to require a custom driveshaft...

so after brainstorming at work all day... I think I've got some ideas... Going to be doing a lot of drawings and cardboard work before any welding or cutting so any ideas are appreciated.

I like to be different... life is too short not to try different approaches... plus I figure being 19 I can use any learning experiences I can get. I try to be reasonable and understand some things are better left alone but modern, or in this case more modern than 71, technology is worth...

89 thunderchicken... the one I was lucky enough to grab is a 3.73 limited slip out of the turbo car. Im going to attempt to use the part as is and just create mounting brackets... but if that fails I`ll create a new cage. The benefits here far outweigh the hate from other people who see no...

that's a ford 8.8 solid axle. There is also an irs axle which has cv's exiting the pumpkin and control arms and such. Also has 4 mounting points.

Anybody done this swap? I am going to do it but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if at all possible. I plan on doing a full write up with pictures and all but will take any advice or ideas I can get. Thanks in advance. (Going in a 71 duster if it helps any)

Thanks Denny, with the coil over/rack systems.. when/if parts break or wear out is there options for these systems or are you limited to the original custom stuff? I want the most out of the money spent either way.. and clearance for my long tubes would be a plus. Also what are the...

Playing devils advocate for a moment.. if the steering style we have is easily fixed... why the big outcry for rack style steering mods? If they are so equal why are so many people throwing out nearly $5k on a different system? I was under the impression the only answer was rack & pinion from...

The budget isnt a massive one by any means and price is a factor. That being said I'm not looking to finish the car anytime soon. I have family members who can assist me with most fab work. Im not really building a race car but I do want it to perform. As for the torsion bar set ups... the big...

Need any advice I can get for aftermarket front suspensions out there. I have looked into the HDK setup and it seems solid, but with so many options I just want to hear some reviews and not leave any stones unturned. I know there are plenty of threads out there but "each application is...

I read the forums a lot... (I buy smart phones just to read forums on the go) and decided it was time to join. I am in the process of building a '71 duster on a college kids income but its getting there. Just pulled the engine, k-member, and trans out through the bottom last week; getting ready...
