72bluNblu thanks again for detailing your build. You sound very knowledgable about auto cross and suspension tuning. Do you compete often and have you had good results with your set up? My car won't be pure Auto cross but I do want to compete at shows like the Car Craft summer nationals in...

72bluNblu, thank you so much for this information. I'll definitely be getting a set of those button head bump stops. I can't believe you fit a 275/35-18 in the front with a 9" wheel. That's close to an 11" section width. That has to be tight. Did you have to trim up your fenders? What are...

Hey A-Body Nation My Nitto 555 tires came in the other day. I love these tires! I am getting ready to measure for wheels soon but want to run my intentions by you before ordering. The tires have been mocked up using the wheel simulator tool. Rears will work fine but the fronts are a little...

The starter I have seemed to fit fine. I'll have to check on the brand and part number but no issues there. It is a used mini starter the car came with. Shouldn't need anything too drastic as the motor's CR is only about 10.2:1

Everything aligns as it should but the header was just too close for comfort. I didn't want to take a chance with any side to side movement of the motor.

Sorry - rookie upload mistake!

Thankfully, I have a very good buddy that works at the hot rod shop down the road, and he was able to help. What he proposed was to trace around the header and onto the frame rail with a paint pen. From there, he notched that section out with a cutoff wheel and bur bit on a pneumatic die...

Once we installed the motor and tranny into the k-member we began to fit the headers. The passenger side went in with little effort but the drivers side took a little more elbow grease. Once the drivers side was bolted on we noticed that there was little to no clearance between the slip tube...

Hello A-Body Nation Just wanted to post some pictures of how we worked around the clearance issues posed with the slip tube on my new set of TTI ceramic coated headers. I'm in the process of prepping my '70 Duster for paint and before it see's the booth, we wanted to make sure everything fit...

Thanks Orangewagon. That's exactly te kind of tid bit I was looking for. Appreciate the pics too!

Thanks for the input. I see below there are some other threads related to this topic. There is a lot of debate about the effectiveness of a lower rad support especially since the k frame already ties the rails together. If anyone has any experience with installing these and could share any...

Hey all I had a friend direct me to the XV Motorsports website and while skimming through their products I found a lower radiator support kit. It looks like a good idea and good investment for a car that will see aggressive street and strip driving. What do you think...

Alright, it's looking pretty clear on what to do. I'm sold on the idea of stick with what I have. SS springs and some upgraded shocks will be the extent of my rear suspension build. Thanks for the great input guys. Kept me from throwin away some major coin!

I have the snubber and the shims. The bigger U-joints are a great point and the driveshaft loop a must. Thanks

No I think you guys pretty much got the nail on the head. Sounds like a lot of people run the SS springs and keep up with the best of'm. I'm just wondering if ladder bars are really worth the hype and the modifications. The car is already stripped down and before everything gets put back...

I do have subframe connectors welded in and don't plan on mini tubbing the wheel wells. I think a 28 x 10.5 tire should fit the stock wells The Mopar Chassis Tune book sounds like a good investment at this point

Thanks for the quick reply guys. I could live with what I have but also upgrade the shocks as mentioned. I had a buddy recommend ladder bars. He claimed they'd be the best thing I could do to the car in terms of gaining traction. They look pretty popular and not crazy hard to install or...

Hey gang, I'm at a crossroads in deciding which rear suspension set up best suites my needs. What I have: 1970 Duster with a 410 Stroker (all forged internals) making 500hp/550 ftlb. Planning to run a 150 shot of Nitrous down the road. Built TorqFlite 727 Dana 60 w/ 3.73...

Hey all, I'm a little confused here. I have a 70' Duster and am redoing the bushings and converting the steering from power to manual but have run into a road block. The K-member in the car has front disc brakes, which is making wonder if it's a later K-member. I have the manual steering...
