    Bench seat swap?

    My front bench seat is getting to the end of its life. Broken, rusty springs, and the foam is wearing out. So, with that in mind, I'm thinking about swapping in another bench seat and just having it upholstered to look the same as my current one. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts...

    Slant 6 MPG Upgrades?

    Hey y'all, I'll be traveling from Georgia to Maine this summer, hopefully in the Dart (fingers crossed everything's sorted by then).

    I grenaded my slant 6

    Well it's been about a half a year since I've been on the forums. I've been busy with college and haven't found time to be doing much with my car since I finished with what I was building this summer. I decided I'd go home and get my dart for the weekend and take it down to Georgia Southern...

    Benefit of Dynamic Strut Rod (and other Suspension Q’s)

    Title says the bulk of it. I’ve now been in the car with the new 225. I forgot just how floaty the car felt. I’m planning on in the next few months going for 1.03” torsion bars, 5 or 6 leaf ESPO rear leaf springs, tubular UCAs and new brakes, and doing all new poly bushings in the suspension...

    Towing

    In my service manual, in the maintenance section, I see that the 64 Dart was rated to tow up to 1500 lbs, or 3500 if you had the heavy duty version. Where was there a tow hitch hooked up? I might add that to my dart if it’s simple enough, but mostly I’m just curious.

    Ok. I’m going to discuss something controversial here, converting to electric. I love my new 225 and it’s staying ICE, however, after reading through the thread about the 1973 Duster on a new challenger frame, it got me thinking about other body/frame swaps. My 1964 Dart 270 Sedan has a 111”...

    Ford 9” in early-A?

    I know putting Ford parts in a mopar is sacrilege. I’ll get that out of the way. my mechanic has a Ford 9” sitting around, currently it has (I believe) 4.76 gears, which would get changed out for something much more manageable to daily drive. We were chatting about possibly replacing the...
