measuring to the backing plate is not accurate because of the differences in the backing plate dimensions. some backing plates had "offset" to account for various brake setups, ie; different width and diameter drums. Note that most 7 1/4 rears had narrow brake shoes and the 8 1/4 had wider brake...

dont forget the 1973-'74 style of Lower ball joint. Youll need that so that itll work with your centerlink. [the 1975-'76 ball joint is different and will not work with your centerlink] If you dont have the bolts to mount the lower ball joints, I believe they are the same as the 80's Dodge...

yes, just change the whole rear. Alot of guys just give them away when they upgrade so you could probably get one for cheap or nothing from another member on this site. put an add in the "wanted" section.

yes a diplomat or a fifth ave will work. [there basically dodge aspens] youll need the spindles and caliper and mount bracket for the caliper. youll need a lower ball joint that is used on a 73 or 74 dart/duster with disc brakes. Also, youll need the previously mentioned upper A-arm from a 73...

I had a 64 dart gt with the 73 dart sport brakes/spindles. I used the poly upper a frame bushings and the strut rod bushings were poly, it made a big difference. used 225 50 15 tires. I used the torsion bars from the v8 car. I used 1973 disc A body lower ball joint that matched right up to my...

going to look at a 65 valiant this weekend. 2 dr slant of course. very good condition. Just wondering what to look for that might affect the price. car not running but guy said it did run at one time long ago. (5 yrs ago) car is in Kanas.

"Dr. Diff" has the ball joint adapters. Youll need the lower ball joints from a 73 dart/duster. I don't think the 79 lower ball joints will work. the orientation of the tie-rods is different. (this is all from memory so I am not all 100% sure on the lower ball joint). It will all bolt up when...

a '79 duster is an "F" body, a '63 valiant is an "A" body (of course). You can use the spindle's of the '79 on the Valiant but there will be some issues. You will need some special adapters for the upper ball joints (or some '73-'76 A-body upper A-arms ). You may need different lower ball joints...

buying new parts like the brake lines will make the job much easier. they are not that much. You may want to check that rubber line goin from the rear to the body too. Like said earlier, the hard part is getting the old stuff to come apart. If you dont have to worry about that, then it makes...

exhaust should be fairly similar to the 318. but theyre both on the small side 273 and 318. id worry bout the exhaust more than the intake. the intake you can open up a bit but you dont want to go too far for fear of cutting through. going from the smaller intake manifold port to the larger 360...

yes (kinda)...... you will need a set of lower ball joints from a 73-74 disc equipped dart/duster etc........AND...........you will need a set of upper control arms from a 73-76 dart/duster etc. be aware that those spindles are a bit taller and this causes WWIII to break out if you mention it...

those manifolds flow excellent!! 92 magnum manifolds flow as good as U can get for Iron. ('cept maybe real 340 manifolds) ( the later ones flowed almost as good: 94 up?)

Is the car originally from FL? Many times, floridians dont use antifreeze. This tends to make the jackets rust up. Just a thought. (I used to live in FL.Clearwater).

rare! 3sp common.

it will not be easy to do this swap. the 66 and down A bodies were narrower than the 67 and up. big blocks can be fitted but usually fenderwell hedders are used. Also, I am not sure if the tranny hump in the body is big enough for the 727, might need some enlargement. If anything, the 383 would...

I used to have one [64 dart gt] same color and all. I put power steering and power brakes on it from a 74 dart sport. I swaped out the rear too so all the wheels matched. I switched to large bolt. Used 14 inch wheels and tires. If you dont mind the 8 1/4 rear, they come with large bolt pattern...

not really good advice. I do not like the Idea of getting rid of the original mopar tapered roller bearings and it IS possible to get a "cone type" sure grip. Green bearings are not as strong. They use ball bearings, not roller bearings. I would not spend a grand for something that is not as...

the only way to make hedders work on an early A with a 440 is to use fenderwell type hedders. There is just not much room. I would not know where to get them. Maybe hooker or Doug's. Just putting in the engine will be a challenge. I used to know a guy down in FL with a 65 B'cuda race car...

everything fits bettter when you got a grinder!!

.........yeah, bolts right on........kinda like a set of hedders for an A body......especially the cheaper ones.........
