But the MOPAR 8 3/4 is the ****! @j par Do you wanna tell him or should I? :) Stay well bud!

AJ you never fail to amaze me. You post stuff like this, that I find fascinating. The depth of your posts is mind blowing. I think you post some of the best, most well thought out posts and then you post in N&P. :rofl::poke: Just messing with ya. I do enjoy your posts and I go out of my way...

If you dropped a running and driving car off at my shop and the only requirement was to leave the line with the front tires one foot in the air, my ball park estimate would be 40K to get you there. My shop is in san jose Ca so we charge more than most shops but I dont think that number is crazy...

Step one, procure bucket. Step two, fill said bucket with money. Step three, dump bucket of money in hole where you existing engine was. Step four, repeat steps two through three.

Torque + Traction = wheelie. How you get there is the tricky part. Lots of ways to skin a cat.

Man this is traumatizing me all over again.. I would also like to add i think it was VERY unprofessional of Willwood to NOT mention the fact that theirrear disk kit will not work on factory axles. Also their E brake cable will not work with the factory cable. Before this job i held Willwood in...

Ace fuel uses an old school analog "sniffer" and like i said if you get the right guy they can do a hell of a job. If you get some "new guy" well lets just say they dont teach how to use that machine at tech schools.. I went to ace with a pocket full of cash and they turned me away as they...

Have you looked into having your old springs re arched? Most semi truck shops will do it for cheep. Call aroumd to heavy truck equipment / repar shops and ask. I had custom U bolts made at a truck repar shop here in Ca for dirt cheep. They also re arch springs. I know the shop i used is to...

Oh man.... I know what happened next..... Thanks for the kind words and being a great customer. I wish all my customers were like you!!! Did you ever install the wide band AFR? Thanks again!

Im at work right now but i will look over this thread when i get home and see if i can help. Im in central Ca so it's about 8 hours to LA for me. Thats a little to far of a drive. :)

71 dart. Leaked PS fluid all the time. Came across a manual bix out of a donor car for free. Bought the adapter and presto noore leaks, no extra hoses or belts. Just get the car rolling before you try and change directions....or its hand over hand. I also have a very small steering wheel so...

I probably would have ran a few 4 inch screws tieing it all together bit yeah. Thats a pretty clever way to do it. I lift some heavy engines with the trans attached at stupid angles by the carb bolts. It always makes me nervous. Your way at least is just hanging so id think id probably lay...

Well thats interesting! The red neck part of me really likes it. Way to think out side the box. Why not just use a cherry picker?

I have 29X10.5X15 in my 71 dart. 4inch backspace on narrowed housing, mini tubs and springs under the frame. Its a tight fit. I dont think you gonna get there with out some cutting. My opinion is if i did it again i would do it differently. I would not use any of the original wheel well. I...

Pot metal.

And that is how you do it in a weekend Not 2weeks on the rack or in a shop. Just Done! Althou, I kinda wanna know. What were you using 1/2 in aluminum plate for that you just had it laying around? Killdozer snow mo?

29 10.5 15s And I got a fair bit of room for more tire but I don't wanna get into the big boy tire size. If I ever do it again I would run the mini tubs up to the package tray and set the car on the ground.

Yeah. I moved it into the scrap bin and I installed spring slides. Better traction and lowerd the *** end, so it was a win win.

Moving the axle to the rear dont affect the spring length. It all moves.... @RustyRatRod I moved mine almost an inch to the rear. But I centered my tire and moved the springs under the frame on sliders, with mini tubs.

Money is no issue apparently cuz I've destroyed two sets of brand new front drag skinnys in short order trying to align this thing.... Save a nicke spend a dime. In all fairness to me tho. No one around here wants to align a 40+ year old car so I'll just keep after it till I get it right....

I use a roll pin punch. The pin is a split pin. Funny thing. When I bought the 150 dollar adapter the pin supplied with mine was realy loose. I **** caned it and just put the original pin back in. Lucky I had saved the pin out of the power box so I had 2 original pins. You'd think for the...

Just got home. I used a floor jack under the crossmember with the camber caster gauge on. Lifted the car until it read 0 camber and set the T bars there. Then adjusted the cam bolts for caster. Ended up at 1.5 degrees caster. Right where I wanted to be! Car pulls a hair to the right for some...

I have an alignment gauge, tomorrow I'll give it another go. Last time I did it I never set the ride height. The car tracks and drives good it's just gonna wear out my new tires. Thanks guys!

AH HA! dang it! That makes sense. I did drop the nose a little when I redid the front end. How do we determine factory ride height? I was confusing the bushings with ball joints sounds like. I do have the 73 UCA. Frickin Face palm! Thank you!

Dont they offer one that adjusts camber? After the 73 disk swap my front runners sit like this / \ No amount of adjustments gets my camber inline?

I'm looking for the part number for the problem solver ball joints for a 73 dart. I searched on summit and cant seem to find it. Thanks for your help.

3,800 :) See, I'm sneaking up on you right now.

I'd like to see that car sitting on the ground. My cam is 107 LSA. but see now we getting into facts. If I told everyone what I had I would never win. :) The trick is to sneak up on em. Although its hard to sneak up on folks in my car
