That's a beautiful Mopar specimen.

The good news is that my engine is currently out of the car, as I am rebuilding the entire front suspension. So, easier access to fab and weld...

You ain't kidding. I just found out this morning they are practically unusable. I'm gonna have to do some cutting and welding.

I get the feeling these sway bar isolator bushings were made for aftermarket strut rods? The stock rods have a lip at the threaded end that the inner diameter of the rubber bushing must somehow get past, in order to slide it down where it belongs. And I assume it's probably not a good idea to...

Great help! Thanks.

Looks like my k-frame does not have these gussets (pictured below) that hold the support for the sway bar...

Ahh...they attach there. It seems I may have been sold a pre-73 sway bar. Do you know if there are aftermarket sway bars that actually fit 73 / 74? edit** looks like ADDCO sent me the wrong sway bar after 3 months of backorder waiting.

1973 crew-cab muscle rat satellite Currently rebuilding / beefing up the front end...reinforced kframe, bigger t-bars, boxed lca's and t-bar crossmember, bilstein shocks My supercharged 440 is back from the builder and under wraps! Dyno run showed ~650 hp :)

Hey....does anyone have a picture of their '73 / '74 LCA that shows where the sway bar mount is located?

Agreed....nothing in history like Mopar's fuselage body curves.

Yeah...going with the flat paint for sure....like a 2-stage paint in dark grayish blue-green.

This is a strictly low-budget undertaking. This car had been garaged by a woman in Houston since her husband bought it for her new in 1973. She put 90K miles on it. I'm putting all the $$$ into a supercharged 360 and drivetrain...sometime down the road. At that point it was cease being a...

Ah...that looks like a useful tool to figure this out. I'll see if anyone rents something like that. Thanks for your help.

t Yeah, thanks... So say if the rears are 295/50-15 with 10" rim, I'm wondering what the correct backspace would need to be, in order to get the tire right up next to the fender without hitting (like in the picture)?

Re: tires & wheels...this is the exact look I'm trying to achieve on the front and rear of my Satellite...in terms of: tire size, aspect ratio, rim width, rim offset, etc...on both the rear and the front. Can anyone help identify these specifics, (or at least take a good guess) from this...

Incidentally, I've been reading about using Q-jet carbs on mopars....apparently they actually came with them from the factory for a while when Carter went bankrupt. I bought a used Edelbrock Performer spread bore, dual plane manifold, along with a rebuilt mopar Quadrajet. I like the idea of...

If it starts and runs OK I may look for a torker with a 600cfm holley. As I said, low budget all the way.

Well...not a perfect job, but it was fun (I also included some pics of the car)... ...low budget Grandma car fun :)

Has anyone ever seen that kind of casting flaw in a mopar factory head? It seems pretty egregious.

Okay...thanks guys.
