    Suspension swaps 68-72

    The 67 k member in my car is complete. I got the k member and the linkage from a 69. But good to know the parts interchange minus the idler

    Suspension swaps 68-72

    Thanks guys I was planning on it because the car will see alot of road course time and the idler will be worn out so I wanted an idler easier to replace and not a cantilever design like the 67 is.

    Suspension swaps 68-72

    Hey guys I have a 67 Barracuda Fastback. I have an opportunity to purchase a 69 dart front suspension. Just wanted to double check are Barracuda and Dart suspension components the same? And yes I know 67 is an oddball year for the idler arm. It’s one of the reasons I wish to swap to a later year...

    Anybody running the RMS AlterKation? Was it really worth the cost?

    I have one in my 67 Barracuda. It is a great system. I only have 15 inch wheels on mine so I was limited on front tire size. I have driven a 66 with 17 inch wheels on it and the difference is quite impressive. On the other hand I have a 70 Road runner with firm feel torsion bars and QA 1...

I will be using on my notchback in a few weeks. here is they link http://www.uscartool.com/Bframeconn/index.html...

    AlterKation questions

    Oh I have read the horror stories. Alterkation looks to be the best option. Heard too many negative comments about MagnumForce and I don;t know if XV is going to do an A body K member or not. So Alterkation looks to be the best bet.
