Suspension/Chassis Suggestions - 70 Dart Swinger

4mulas said

Having done quite a few cars the thing I crave the most and want now is a nice unmolested stock 6 cyl dart like yours and I would Leave it as is. Simple, stylish, and rare! Almost all of them have been hot rodded ip and big blocked this and road coursed that etc….. it would be cool and nice to have a stocker! That’s my vote

When I got the car back in 2008, I wanted to drag race it so I ripped out the 6cyl and sold it so that is no longer an option.

in what way? do you want it to handle more like a modern car or just handle like a stockish 70 dart? completly different set ups for both...


i'll give you my set up that makes the car feel more like a modern car.. it rides and steers awesome..

you are also going big block so i'm not even considering the slant six in this recommendation...

Correct, I want it to handle/brake more like a modern car.

I have noticed that no one has mentioned mini-tub/spring relocation for wider tires. I assume moving the leaves inward adversely affects road handling?


So far, I'm getting some pretty good info that isn't contradicting in the same manor as some of the other suspension threads, so thanks everyone for the great replies! I really appreciate it.
