The 9.8:1 would be a good ratio with those heads, camshaft, and pump gas.

Rear leaf springs, I had a spring shop add a leaf that goes from the front bushing area to just past the second spring to stiffen the front section of the springs and had them re-arched a but to raise the back of the car up. The car rides nice, but I think with the stiffer rear springs and rear...

I just used the Mopar 0.960" Bars. I think Mopar called them street handling? One step larger than the factory HD bats used on the R/T. The sway bars were from PST, as were the poly bushings / front end rebuild kit. Funds were tight back when I did this so it got the KYB shocks. The better...

I like my '71 Real nice driving car once I upgraded the torsen bars and added sway bars.

They don't want to walk. Not sure how buying a new car is related to the topic? I get restoration and cloning factory performance cars, but making a replica of a stripped out project car? I guess it is a way of paying homage to those you respect? Just saying why not build a car that others...

Why clone someone else's car?

Passon was working on the A-855 5-speed transmission, but I don't know anyone who has one?

Overdrive is nice. Axle ratio depends on several factors, mainly type of use (street or racing), the Overdrive ratio, and the tire size. I have a LGT-700 5-speed manual OD (0.68 OD ratio) in the Convertible, and a 3.54:1 Dana 60 axle which is a nice ratio for a street car with 27" tall tires...

Looks like the correct axle for the car. Not the trans, but the '71 up with the wide bushing front drum are nice because the billet drums are designed for that pump/stator support.

Which Dakota Digital? The RTX non-rallye or the Charger type Rallye dash? Those look nice, but are pricy.

Dang, my fender tag is missing too. The guy I bought the car from removed it to paint the engine compartment and lost the fender tag?

Hope most of the original parts are still there. When I tracked my car back about 3 owners, he bought the car from a used car lot in 1977, and at sometime after the 440/727 was replaced with a 318/833 for fuel mileage, so the original drive train is long gone. Seems it was pretty well stripped...

Is your car a LA built car? (not sure if this is totally correct for 1968?) WS23L8E vin? Just curious, my 1969 Coronet Hardtop is a Los Angeles built car, and I tracked it back a few owners to 1977, but I think it was in the LA area. Found a girls HS class ring under the back seat. 1978 Santa...

I would go through the transmission too, at least figure out which year and parts are in it. After 50 years, it might not have the original transmission? If the Input shaft spline count is 19, the transmission is 1966 or earlier (even though my '67 Coronet had a 19 spline transmission?) 1967...

I think someone had a '69 Hood for sale in the for sale area? They seem to be hard to find.

If you need body panels, check what is available. I was looking at AMD and Year One for Panels for my '69 Coronet, and they don't have any full trunk or floor panels. Was able to get the 1/2 trunk floor panels and a passenger side 1/2 floorboard. No Drivers side floor in stock, and out of...

Looks nice, I know nothing about originality?

I noticed that. The RL44 harness I need for my car is listed as "Discount Exempt", but the non-Convertible version (RL45, $172) is "Discount Eligible"?

Just spent $254 at Year One on the reproduction Rear wiring harness (RL44) for the '69 Coronet Convertible. All the wiring from the firewall forward is custom. My Dash wiring is still the original. I will likely rebuild it with some custom modifications and modern fuse block, but my car is...

I have the original numbers matching drivetrain for the '71 Charger 500, that came with the 383-4bbl, 727, and 8-3/4" Only original part still in the car now is the transmission case. Now has 400 block stroked to 500", totally upgraded 727 transmission. Not sure there is a stock part in the...
