Hi guys!
Im new to the A body scene. This seems to be a great forum to be a part of! Thank you!
I have purchased a 1974 Plymouth Duster Slant 6 car. My plans are to make it another street/striprod in my collection. Its not in thebest of shape, but it does run great, and currently runs a 19.99 ¼ in stocktrim and a 19.68 with exhaust and breather off. LOL.
My first plan of attack is the front end. All of the ball joints and tie rods arecompletely shot. I dont want to spendany money replacing any of this stuff. Instead, I want to put this money towards a new tubular front end withmanual rack and pinion steering. While Imdoing this, Id like to switch to lightweight disc brakes as well with big boltpattern.
I have been doing a little research, but it seems there isso much to choose from. I want the bestbang for my buck, and dont want to cheap out too much. Main priorities are:
1 Strong enough forpot holes, rough roads, etc. It will seestreet use.
2 Super lightweight,this is almost my top priority, but it has to survive the street.
3 Lightweight manual rackand pinion steering
4 Lightweight brakes
5 Possibly drop stylespindles
Thanks guys for any help/advice you can give!
