Alterkation front end swap

[abodyjoe]

Joe, what size are your front tires and wheels? You think they'd fit on a 63 dart?

225/50-17.. wheels are 17x8 with 5.72 backspace. i think the tire will fit but not sure about the wheel.. i know djvcuda has the same size tire on the front of his 66 cuda but with a 17x7 rim and a 4.25 backspace..

if every after market part was made with the effort of a perfect fitting product, realiabity that RMS took, building a car would be alot easier, just sayin'

Everyone has there own opinion.
This is what I chose.
No regrets.
You know the saying, you get what you pay for.

 

[71Demon440]

^ what is it ?

 

[71Demon440]

It is a Alterktion front end from RMS.

The after market mustang II style rack and pinion coil over units are available for about $1500, including GM brakes and power rack. The problem is the cross member is behind the front steer rack and where the engine oil pan is located.

I am thinking the steering angles are engineered into these M II units, so would it be feasible to weld it in place, build a cross member similar to the alter K, attach the rack to the new cross member, and then cut out the original cross member? I may give it a try.

I am sure the alter k is a fine unit, but 5 grand for one with brakes is a little rich for my blood. I don't have that much plasma to sell.

I was at a show in Bowling Green and QA1 had a tube k member on display but had not finished it.
