7 ft of air with no suspension travel....... was he in a wheelchair?

OOooo ill have to have a look. I like to mess about with that kind of stuff. On my ute i used a standard oil cooler solid line type to cool the power steering oil. As if doing track work the commodore tends to cook the oil....... not that it ever seen a track lol.

A man of culture is see..... from what i hear bloody good kit. They make some great gear but you pay for it!! I did nearly go the qa1 which 1100 a pair here. In usa dollars thats about 50 cents......... However i do feel i have gone this far and suspension is super important if chasing any kind...

I had been thinking this, as i have a 300c srt engine it has the oil cooler. Was thinking if i run the earls remote cooler i could fit this in the remote area........having said that i am trying to tidy the bay up lol. One of my friends runs a performance shop and said the oil coolers are a good...

End of the day i have built many cars, but was prior to kids, owning company and renovating my homes. I just have to except its going to be part cheque book build or ill be under the ground by time its done haha

So how are you planning to install? Motor in with crane then fit headers? What starter motor are you using?

Measuring up the diff this week to hopefully cut down to exact size as super keen to keep this moving. Have the money to finish the whole project just not the time so starting to pay people to do the work as dont want it dragging on forever

In relation to your pipe issue it looks like it could be a manufacturing issue as was watching Stay Tuned do the hemi swap into a dart and they had the exact same problem. All holley gear going into it as well

Any thoughts on the calvert nine way adjustable for the rear and any ideas what would be a good shock for the front?

Yes its getting shortened as its from a B body so too wide regardless, got it cheap and not a common item in Australia. My diff guy will measure up the car and wheels and hopefully get it bang on haha. But bit of stuffing around as using Ford xr6 turbo 31 spline axles that need to be shortened...

My front rebuild kit came with mump stops but i think they may be stock height, where did you get your shortened bump stops from? Also note that using the holley install kit which brings the engine forward an inch. I have also deleted all the reo from behind my bumper bar to try get weight out...

I think he meant more that you have a lot of knowledge on the suspension of the A body as notice on most suspension comments you have a lot to offer. My rear wheels are a 8.5inch wide with 3.5inch back space. Took a gamble on them as they were super cheap with bead locks and new rubber That...

How do you find it drives with the rear and front that height

Mate that looks great!!! I have already cut the outer lips back and re welded them as much as we could, as tubbing doesnt fix that issue. I have my diff guy coming to my factory to measure the diff spot on to try suck the wheels in super close to the springs to try and gain more outer clearance...

Hahhaa i think i know who you are talking about........ pretty much in every suspension thread i have dug up. I await on what i should be doing!!

I would go gears before anything, biggest difference you will feel with any modification. Definitely needs the heads played with as be a slug with stock ports

So i am in the process of building my 74 duster from ground up, it will run a hemi 6.4, 904 into a 8, 3/4 shortened rear end. I am nearly ready to start putting all the running gear back together. I want the car to sit low to slightly tuck the rear tyre and similar look up the front. A pr street...

I am no expert but few things stand out: -Thats low comp for a built motor -Stock heads complete waste of time doing cam etc very minimum need porting and polishing, also port match all your items you would be surprised how badly they often line up. Old heads have very small ports get an old...

Would have to be a very small tacho and scoop would have to be very high up the hood, it will look terrible. Would rather just run a revers cowel if that was the idea

When i punch the part number in the belt comes up as a subaru legacy or outback is that what you got?

O nice one!!! that will work and nice and simple didnt realise they make a delete for the power steer as a stock item. Another part to add to the list haha

Yep, i got on the duster train in 2018, was about to import and covid hit. I then had to take what i could get here in 2020 when my importer contacted me he found one here that was still in the container, 12k australian for a california 318 74 with some dubious repairs and paint like powder. Now...

So i have decided to go manual steering, to clean the bay up and also give my self more header clearance. Also saves me nearly a grand in parts like the borgeson unit, custom lines and pump etc. I have also deleted the ac, as it will again clutter up the engine bay and honestly on my other...

I am going to mount all its fuse box etc all in the glove box so its easily assessable. I will bring the loom through in the most stealth position i can to avoid clutter. Ill figure this out when i dry fit the motor

So 99%completed the chasis stifening. And yes we did blow the odd hole in the floor as my floor when sand blasted has some pitting from previous rust. But didn't warrant cutting floors out. Once on the ground we will weld up from above. The torque boxes fitted very nicely however have had to add...

Love how people say they d tuned the 73 onward ........ grumbling sounds, chew some tobaco etc. Because the stock 318 72 model makes huge power........ if we talking power how can these guys seriously contemplate anything thats stock from 1970 anything lol The only thing from 1974 on my duster...

yep they were cheap so young guys floged the *** out of them and smashed them or people "thought" they would restore them only to realise they dont have the coin or the skill. So they became a garden ornament and too fkd to then be anything

You can get new 3 point retractable seat belts for the duster with the dropper so its not cutting your head off. Doubt the fender braces do bugger all the steel is pretty thin....... if you want bracing u need to do full chassis connectors unless u want to crack your a piller lead joints.

Does this apply for aftermarket boxes as well. Also am i correct you can use power steering column with after market manual box as they make ones with a longer adapter so no need to swap the column

How heavy is it? I am in the process of putting a hemi into my duster and rather than go power steering thinking just go manual. As save fair bit of coin and more space. However thinking maybe go the 20:1, but is it noticably heavy what size front rubber do you have? I have front runners so dry...
