K frame options

[1973dusterkid]

Ok I have a 360 73 duster looking at my kframe options car is a street/strip car I have a factory braced frame now with qa1 uppers and lower control arms. is the qa1 sub frame worth it over my stock one, or are there any other options. I want to stay torsion bar.

it offers a few lbs lighter....and it offers a lot more room....i have 3 of them in use and I like them...

only one is still using torsion bars....the other two have been changed over to coil over shocks.

How did you go about converting them

I did one with the engine in the car...and the other with no engine in the car....is that the answer?

or converting them to coil over shocks?

Sorry I mean going to coil over

Used a kit from HemiDenny for 71 Dart

and Used kit from Gerst Suspension for 71 Duster

both are about the same....no welding is required but I welded a upper shock support

Ok cool so the qa1 frame is pretty much the best option right now?

that is your decision...I like it......others will come along and disagree...lol
other thing...the QA1 k member uses the 68-72 motor mounts.....not the 73-76 mounts
