Sick 66 trip updates.

Great trip Joe!
I love road trips and the goal of my 68 cuda rebuild is to do a leisurely tour of the U.S. including the mother road. I'm thinking 4-6 wks.
First thing I ever bought off ebay from San Jose and drove it 2800 miles to Ohio. Old cars beat you up and I would stop every 200 miles. I think the key to mileage is OD and I should consider a more comfortable seat.
Sorry I don't know much about Jamie's Dart. Can you summarize the drivetrain and suspension a little here?

Click to expand...

the engine is a real mild 360. build thread here.. very mild 360 build.

suspension is covered here: build thread for jamies dart..:)

basically stock 360 with mild MP cam, performer rpm intake, low gearset 904 with 9.5" converter and 8 3/4 rear with 3.23 gear..

suspension is pretty basic but not cheap..lol eaton leafs i got from @BergmanAutoCraft , front end had 1.08 torsion bars from @BergmanAutoCraft , a hellwig front sway bar, adjustable upper arms from RMS, adjustable strut rods from RMS, bilstein shocks all the way around, a borgenson steering box kit from @BergmanAutoCraft. i have factory style large bolt 11 3/4" disc brakes. rear drums are 11X2" with large bolt axles from dr diff.
