    Subframe connectors for a driver/cruiser, necessary to weld to floor?

    ...power and other "not needed" stuff we don't seem to have trouble dumping money into. We "unnecessarily" changed the steering on my son's 65 Nova to an aftermarket power rack and pinion unit and added subframe connectors. That converted a 5-turn LTL poorly handling death trap to a slot car.

    Sorry, I should have been more specific. I also included the savings using the Street-Lynx rear suspension as well. Heres what Motortrend had to say whick I feel is accurate. Unless I see the parts on a weigh scale I'll stick to my statement. Convert Any Mopar Suspension to Coilovers and...

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    One more question for you. What year A body are you installing in and what’s your planned steering setup? Rack and pinion or factory/manual/power? Thanks Mike

    K-FRAME STITCH WELDING......THOUGHTS?

    After all welding and adding gussits, with a Firm Feel Police box and long pitman arm with matching idler arm this Dart feels better than a Rack & Pinion.

    Magnum Exhaust Manifolds in an A Body

    ...a hydraulic clutch setup which I think will cure the z-bar problem, but unless I can find a nice aftermarket K-frame setup with power rack and pinion steering I am not seriously considering magnum manifolds. 340 Manifolds would flow more than enough...but I'm not convinced I will 'need' 340...

    Dial caliper fail

    We used to calibrate and repair a lot of dial calipers at our place. The cheap calipers that needed repair we tended to just replace as it wasn't worth it usually. Anyway... I saw that you probably didn't preload the gears against each other and that was your most likely the problem... You...

    Is anyone running 10” wide wheels on all four corners

    The reason for the swap to coils. I had a chance to drive a buddy’s car with coils on an auto cross course. It was the best handing a body I have ever driven. It’s a daily driver and has excellent street manners. Plus I hate the headers on my car. I’ll be using a power rack and pinion as well.

The one issue with this front suspension kit is the rack and pinion will not line up properly with the front steering arms. Could be that it needs the drum break version which I've read are longer. The bumpers look...

    TR6060 and TB suspension? Any info on the starter interference?

    ...the engine bay there's no interference with the pitman arm. I'm guessing that most of the swaps incorporating the factory trans with the starter on the right probably used aftermarket K frames with rack and pinion steering? From the looks of the picture, that starter is not a 'slight'...

    Denny, I want to echo Blu’s sentiment and tell you thank you for offering your kits. I might come across like I am opposed to aftermarket kits, but I’m not. I appreciate that you offer the option, and I think your kit is a great solution. If I had the funds and the need, yours is the kit I...

    1965 MMP's Barracuda Hemi swap! The Ever Changing Build

    I just read though your post. Awesome build. I too learned really fast a early A with a Gen 3 and the stock steering gets really tight. Your pictures look just like mine lol. I also ended up going with a rack and pinion setup. Great build sir keep it up.

    Borgeson steering

    Sorry to hear that, they are advertised everywhere, no customer service? I went aftermarket front suspension, so I have manual rack and pinion. Could have gone with power rack and pinion but didn't want all of the extra stuff. I am 71, 135 lbs and I can handle the manual. Good luck!

    Doug's '68 Dart

    My current pan (milodon 30941) is not working out. Hitting the windage tray studs. I have an opportunity to return it and maybe solve both problems. Would a rear sump pan solve the access problem? Could it create another, perhaps with the headers? M321 - 340 M322 - 360 Mopar Rear-sump...

    Help identifying a K member

    If that is a pre 1967 K member then yes snap it up. Then take it all apart and reweld all the seams and add some gussets around the steering and idler arm. Add few gussets in high flex areas and you will have a front end that is about as taught as a Rack & Pinion.

    Well, I bit the bullet and placed my order.....

    I just wanted to join the conversation, I know you wouldn't ruin your beautiful street car with a tube chassis Will it have rack and pinion steering ? I'm not familiar with the alter k system.

    Doug's '68 Dart

    . yes, it was standard in the package/included (power rack). I suppose I’ll use the core support. I have it and it’s paid for.

    Under hood prep....any suggestions?

    IMO, Only of a roll cage is being installed! Otherwise, the weight loss is minimal. The body will become less stiff.

    Looking at Tubular K member

    ...over conversion for significantly less money. All the coil over conversions do that can't be accomplished with the torsion bars is a rack and pinion and header room. But really a rack and pinion isn't a performance upgrade, just a change in feel. And there are good headers that fit with...

    A body suspension feel???

    ...when all is done, they drive pretty well, but a 50 year old car will never drive as nicely as a modern car with modern suspension and rack and pinion steering.

    Steering All Over the Place at 55mph+

    If you know what you are doing, check out the components, replace what's bad and have a proper alignment done. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, take it to a reputable alignment shop and have them diagnose, repair, and align properly.
