Concerning the 8.75 POSI, the Kidd agreed to remove the rearend from one of the parts cars, clean it, prime, paint, and service it and help install back in my 74 for the trade. This parts car he calls the battlellite: We picked it up for the re-doable interior and drivers door, but have...

MoparJimT, Thank you for the recommendation. I will have him add a "to comply with items" list to his photo build book for when it comes off the rotisserie. We will be reinstalling all front and rear components before it come off the rotisserie.

Reply to ZeroFiggz above: Concerning Swaybars, yes, the Road Runner had them installed and we plan to overhaul and re-install. Any advice on them will be helpful.

Operation difference is the ability to more comfortably carry more in the rear of the car, or use a heavier trailer (tongue weight) if that's needed for you. Of course, if you went with a really heavy leaf, then rider comfort can begin to suffer. Ride height should be very, very close to stock...

The following post were copied from a previous thread I started to ask questions about engine conversions and leaf springs. I have moved this info here and hope it can help others in my situation. Thank you all for your help and advice. From Wednesday April 5th, 2023 1974 and 1973 Road...

MoparJimT, Thank you for the feedback. Good info to have, so with that we have disassembled a couple of sets we have and have reconditioned a set. The kidd has sanded, primed, and painted one set of 5 leaf springs, selected all the remaining serviceable parts, and all the bushings and additional...

Good evening. A new question has arisen regarding our 1974 Road Runner rear leaf springs. Can someone please provide me info on the operational difference between the Heavy Duty and Standard Duty rear leaf springs. We found one of the heavy-duty Leafs (Top to bottom number 7 leaf) broken...

Just spoke to someone at Schumacher, and it may be a couple of months before they do a production run on the BB K to a SB conversion kit. However, they do have a SB K to BB conversion I could put on the parts shelf for future use. https://www.engine-swaps.com/collections/all Thank you all for...

Thank you all for your time. Sorry for my back and forth. Wish we were sitting in my shop drinking tea and discussing. I have 3 SB Ks and 1 already refinished BB K from the RR and the 3 parts Satellites. If I let him have my BB K he can convert to a BB one day with little effort. I may not be...

Very cool, I figured I must be the only misfit to swap a BB for a SB, however guess which kits Schumacher are sold out of:wetting:

Thanks 41 and curiousyellow7, I would do that if it were not my son's first car. For now, just a semi-stock 360. I may mess around with my welder to see if I can come up with something. Maybe someone will see this and post a diagram that they have. I will also look up those venders listed...

Continued from Above: We have both BB and SB k-Members. The Kidd has a later built 318 that froze and cracked the block on both sides, so we picked up for parts. He was also recently given a clean late model 360 roller long block from a car guy friend, and I have a 440 short block he has...

I am new to B-Bodies only, and just as new to a B-Body preservation. For background information, I am a mechanic by trade and have Chevy Muscle Car rebuild experience. However, when my wife asked me to consider my next project to be a 1974 Satellite like I had, and we dated in during high...
