auto cross

I see some things of note on the Challenger:

  • Tire size is at least 275 up front. (Anyone know exact sizes?)
  • Tires are wide enough with increased backspace that there is slight rubbing at full lock turning (see frame rub marks)
  • 14:1 Borgensen power steering box with KRC pump
  • Can't tell if running Fast Ratio pitman/idler. But E-bodies can fit longer fast ratio arms that would give this car about 10:1 to 11:1 steering ratio. Rough guess: 2 to 2 1/2 turn lock to lock
  • Looks like there is a channel cap over the front frame rail. Not sure if for strength or rust repair
  • Milodon Road Race oil pan
  • External oil breather catch can on passenger firewall because hard cornering will load up a valve cover and spit oil from a breather on valve cover
  • It needs to have 2 throttle return springs for safety (remember the 66 Barracuda that crashed as a Good Guys event)
  • Smaller diameter Tuff Steering wheel with good grip.
  • High bolster cloth seat (cloth holds you in better than slippery vinyl)
  • Added brake pedal covers for grip and wider better position
  • Added "dead pedal" for driving aid
If I remember correctly, he’s running Advans, 315s square.
