What PARTS did Hurst and Chrysler put in the Super Stock Barracuda & Dart not in other factory cars

-
i was told there frame where of lighter than a vans or the late 60s d series buckets . there all rigid back seats , even 72 up ramcharger .
 
The A 100 seats I am talking about were only used in the model that had the van nose with the pickup box on back. They are the lightest seat ever put in a vehicle. Others looking similar but we're heavier. They were mounted in the factory race cars using custom made aluminum seat mounts without sliding tracks.

What brakes would these be? Or were the rotors and hubs redrilled?

Rotors and hubs drilled (originally when manufactured) for 4 1/2" pattern.

Brake setup was used in '66 trans am a-bodies. Tarozzi helped a little bit on that after hours project.

Kelsey hays made the rotors. Here is an original set off a Hemi Dart I bin trying to buy, but he does not want to sell. I offered a lot of money still no go.

Are you sure the doors were acid dipped and not stamped of thinner steel sheet like the bumper??

And shouldn't that be a "B-body Dana not an A-body one". A-body Dana didn't exist at that time and would have required different rims than the 8 3/4 cars with B-body width rears.

Is the outside mirror delete a production piece used on other cars? Those cars would have to be sold out of this country for a place that did not require mirrors.

Aren't the offset shackles just a van pieces?

Was the crossram, water pump housing, speedo plug also used on 65 and/or 64 Hemi cars?

From what I came up with the doors were acid dipped. A lot of them rotted at the bottom because the acid was never neutralized good.

Yes They are A body rears not B body rears from my research. Look at the pictures the springs are to close to the backing plates to be a B body rear. The B Body rears was just a reference. Also the axle splines were different from the B bodies

I believe the delete stuff was from other option cars

Was the crossram, water pump housing, speedo plug also used on 65 and/or 64 Hemi cars? I believe this is correct. Plus a few more things from 64 65 Hemi cars But still all special to the 68 Hem A Bodies
 
really , but the early cuda ran the small pattern disc's on the drag cars like 43jr , ect.... ? i know the americans magnesiums as a direct mount had the matl to run the small pattern . we did a pair for the front of my 63 sf from the direct mounts . as you can see lots of matl for that small pattern .

This is correct where they car from.
 
hey , got out my mopar action , that has an artical on the 68 dart hemi cars . the notice that reads as follows . This car is equipped with a 426 cu in engine ( and other special equipment ) This car is intended for use in supervised acceleration trails and is not intended for highway or general passenger car use . Accordingly . THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD '' AS IS '' and that 12 MONTH OR 12,000 MILE VEHICLE WARRANTY COVERAGE and 5 YEAR OR 50,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE . in 68 a car sold for 4200 to charie comella bought one and financed it through chysler credit . thirty-six easy payments . wow a financed car without a warranty for three years . and i note that the front fenders did not have side lights , just the rear quarters did .
 
Not only was the front bumper stamped from thinner metal but so were the front bumper brackets. I measured a set on an original Hemi Dart and they were half thickness of production. But they carried the same stamped part number as production parts.
 
How bout the heavy duty cooling system and the sledgehammer to the passenger's side shock tower?

I noticed the same in that original primer/black Hemi dart that Frank Spittle owned that was in Mopar Action decades ago. When I saw it in Vegas it was owned by a real nice guy from Louisiana.
 
From what I understand, doors (frame) were acid dipped, and skin was stamped from thin gauge sheet metal, halve the thickness of ordinary panels…

Other than a stock A-Body BB radiator, aluminum seven blade fan and clutch drive, eight blade water pump and no shroud, and probably no thermostat, was there anything else to make the cooling system special other than no shroud mounted?
And as for the clutch drive, it was torque driven, not thermostatic run... was this special to this fan unit and engine?
Just curious to get this right...

I have no clue. Everything I have read said the cars came with a "heavy duty cooling system" whatever the hell that consists of. Seems you have a better handle on it than I do.
