HAs anyone installed the cut pile version? I'm not interested in 100% original.

Bolt in connectors are fine for most applications. Are they the best way to go, no, but they won't fail and rip out your frame rails unless you are running ridiculous amounts of power, in which case you wouldn't be running bolt in sub-cons anyway.

In that case, do nothing with it and let it sit. IF you ever sell and the new buyer wants it, you can provide it. IMO, numbers matching in a 318 E body does not make it more valuable than your current 416. While it may be rare to have those together, rare does not always equate to valuable or...

We wonder that with the benefit of hindsight, access to our current technology, and neglecting to remember that the Factory built cars predominately for transportation that had to be warrantied, not racing. At the time, some of these were considered to be big stroke engines.

It should, however I'm working with a member on some pieces from a front that have already been cut up. Stay tuned.

I'm in Colorado.

Looking for a dented, bent, or rusty fender that has some fender lip area remaining. I don't need the whole fender, just a section as show in the picture. GOt less than that. I'm interested in that too. At this time, I'm not thinking it will matter if its left or right as I'm only using sections...

1/2 inch is fine, heck, I've run this down to a 1/4 inch in some places, IF you can avoid contact of the widest part of the tire and the narrowest part of the opening. Yours looks close enough it may cut the tire, but camera angles can be deceiving. I would check how far into the well that tire...

Uneven drag links is such a common occurrence that the Mopar Chassis manual has directions for leveling it. You can shim the steering box or you can file fit and weld a washer to the idler arm mount. I haven't heard of "drop" pitman and idlers to correct this for classic mopars and even if they...

Back in the mid '80s, in my town there was a Superbird that was driving around with '70 Super Bee nose on it. I imagine it was in a wreck and damaged the nose cone, they couldn't find replacement parts, so on went the Dodge parts. Back then parts weren't easy to find and your search was limited...

As much as love my old mopars and my sons respect them, they are priced out of the E body world. And honestly, why would they go broke to work on these. They can pick up a good running later model V8 or turbo car for $10k, it drives great, has good stereo and a/c and still has hop up potential...

The sector support bearing assembly is installed to help reduce deflection of the steering box with heavy tire loads. It is designed to be installed in cars that are assembled to provide the extra support to the steering box. If your car is apart, you can reinforce the steering box mount to...

Yes, that was done for handling purposes. The splayed mounting means when the body starts to roll over, it is also twisting the leaf instead of just compressing it. That provides added resistance to compression. This is also why mopars leafs are 2.5" wide instead of 2" like all their...

XV Engineering offers a similar unit, although it does not go all the way to the core support. XV INNER FENDER BRACE Its not like this is a really complicated bend. Mock something up with a cardboard tube, buy some DOM steel tube, and have a a muffler shop bend to match the cardboard tube mock-up
