Step by step. She finally sits right and rolls right with an alignment, nice wheels and tires.
Next step is the exhaust system and a little trans work
Finally a running engine.
Also replaced the dinky rear end with an 8 1/4 mopar so now it's sits nice on 14" wheels all around.
So far I've run the cam in for 20 minutes, but need to get the exhaust fitted right and some tranny work before she is road ready.
Last thing I did was the rally wheels, new tires and an alignment.
For the engine I got some swirl port heads with hardened valve seats, completely rebuilt with 3 angle grind etc. , added an Isky cam, an edelbrock highrise manifold and a 4 barrel.
Along the way
Upgraded the water pump and timing chain housing, and some shiny chrome stuff.
The transformation began with a good cleaning and then strengthening the K member. Reassembly included modifying the front suspension with mid 70s components, including off set upper wishbones and big single piston slider calipers. Now she will be able to ride on 14 inch wheels instead of those...
She was loose as a goose in every way, bushings bearings, all worn out. But she could still make those little 13 inch wheels squeal at will. I grew to love her.
Bought this car with just a quick drive around the block. On the drive home on the freeway i realized the rear wheel bearings where gone, she squealed like a pig on the freeway, LOL!!
