We got our first 100 mph + pass this year and will be looking for a 13 in 2017. Need to go from 3.7 to 3.9 gears. Wider tyres just fitted over geared it this year. We were stuck at 98 mph on Friday, changed the carb at the track from a Holley 670 to a 770 then ran 14.25 / 101 Saturday. Great Mopar n...

Anyway, I agree that a properly set up, with slop taken out, 'stock type' Mopar suspension is actually a very goo...

Small block 340 It bump steers a bit, weaves under hard braking and handling is a bit lurchy with the old bars That sounds more like alignment and weak steering/suspension bushings to me. Roger keys did a full alignment at his Monkfish performance business, steering box is good, rebuilt by Steer &a...

The bushes tore apart when I withdrew the pins.
The control arms are going off for blasting, zinc electroplating and maybe black EPC.
