Your not being a dick at all, sometimes it takes pictures, (and even crayons) to explain facts to people who think a Chinese u joint is a "upgrade" Those type of people should NOT be working on cars.

Never underestimate a person's ability to "out smart" oem engineers who designed a coupler that does everything it should and lasts 50 years.

The scary part is any of us could line up next to garbage like this and potentially be caught up in a accident. Scary indeed. Garbage suspension execution for SURE

Pay careful attention to the lower control arm pivot pins where they go into the K frame. Very common failure point.

Lol....your not wrong!

More comfortable to ride in? You will never experience as smooth of a ride from a coil over setup. Mopar used to call there suspension "torsion air" for a reason. And a gen 3 can be bolted directly into a stock torsion bar chassis. But if you want some tube suspension, go for it. It's only money

Keep in mind the fastest, most competitive mopars on oval track, road course or similar events are on torsion bars. The only thing you gain performance wise on those aftermarket Kits are header clearance. And a much emptier pocket

Theres really no reason NOT to use them, regardless of hp

One "secret" to the torsion bar suspension, it it transfers the wheel motion into a twisting motion, then absorbed by the torsion bar crossmember. It's the reason the wheel rates can be sufficiently high enough for hard cornering, but still not "teeth rattling" And....over the years of racing in...

Speedway motors sells them in there circle track parts section, pretty inexpensive and nice quality.

Really nice work!

And still to this day, the fastest, best handling mopars are still on torsion bars. Coilover conversions are designed to remove cash from people's wallets who dont have a clue what real handling is

The crown vic suspension is caveman simple to install, I have done 3 of them on 65 up sweptline trucks, but the earlier frame shouldn't be much different

Anytime!

Biscuit type, used up to 72

But to answer your question, crank the torsion bars up until it's at max height, re arch the rear springs to match

Pretty if your into a 4wd I guess?

You can buy a assortment of those from parts stores, or Amazon... allways handy to have around

I'm not real tech savvy, so I dont know how to post links, but a google search should give you results, and search on youtube for the hotchkiss taxi

To date the FASTEST road race mopars use the torsion bar suspension, none of the aftermarket systems offer any handling advantages over the torsion bar system. They offer more header room, and bling for those who dont know any better. The famous mopar action "green brick" build is good reading...

The coilover conversion Kits originated from the desire to have more header clearance. They never were designed, or marketed as a performance handling improvement, because the coilover design is NOT a improvement over a proper torsion bar system. A guy can spend his money how he wants. I like...

Are you thinking a coil over suspension conversion is gonna be cheaper than headers that fit?

Looks like a Saginaw to me

AND, there is good information in here that can help others, not just the OP.

It might be a good idea to READ the post before you comment. Nobody said anything about a gen 2 hemi...and if your curious, they CAN, and HAVE been installed in A bodys with torsion bar suspension, since at least 1968......

A properly set up torsion bar suspension will out handle any of those mega buck coil over suspensions for less money.

That's vintage badassery right there!

The subframe connectors will be a improvement regardless of road type and use

Totally irrelevant, the stock suspension will last 100k miles on rough roads, through pot holes and road grime and salt. All those heim joints? Not a chance. The factory suspension was never designed to be a "race car" suspension, it's just so happens that with a few tweeks, it IS capable of...
