    New 74 Roadrunner 28k Survivor

    It's a 318 car. Hack it up and make it a pro mod if you want to.

    Possibly dumb rear spring question, but here goes...!

    Actually, ALL Super Stock springs are A body length. What you need to find out is the spring part number. Even if they are the 2800 pound springs, they will set your car up in the rear as compared to stock B body springs. SS springs are pretty stout. They will fit, but, as mentioned, you'll need...

    Adjusting the lash on the right rear axle.

    Did you follow the instructions in the service manual? You're supposed to remove both rear wheels and both brake drums. Take a hammer and tap the left rear axle IN towards the center and remove any play. Then go to the right and make the adjustment. Generally I like to go down to about .008"...

    Advice for Increasing Horsepower - 318

    My grandfather's stone stock 71 318 Dart would smoke the right rear tire for literally as long as you held your foot in it.......right into high gear.

    Yup. Probably 2000-2500.

    Raising the Rear

    I wasn't saying to leave it low. I was saying that the 275 will fit at stock height with the correct B/S so lifted should pose no trouble at all.

    Raising the Rear

    Maybe some of both. lol

    Raising the Rear

    I actually like that. Brings back memories.

    Raising the Rear

    If a 275 60 15 doesn't clear your car sitting STOCK, you got something wrong.

    Somethings wrong with the front end

    I think so......I forget what B body she has. I met her over on FABO because she has several A bodies too. ranidart is her screen name.

    Somethings wrong with the front end

    I knew all that was a crock. He's always cryin about being broke and poor. Anybody that could lay beads like he was postin pics of would be makin some jack. And see.......I bet everything Rani posted was really her work.

    Somethings wrong with the front end

    You cut all that thin rusted part out. Come in from the bottom and weld in all new metal from the bottom closing the hole up. Then cut out a piece that fits perfect in the recess on the top side and weld that in. Then you locate the hole for the bolt, drill it out and you're done. I saw Asa...

    Somethings wrong with the front end

    It can be fixed. It might not be worth it though if it has similar problems elsewhere on the k frame.

    Green Envy

    It has some rust for sure, but you know.....it's all fixable. I know when you first find it, it's like "how the hell am I gonna fix THAT?", but once you get to tearing it apart, it becomes evident that it's really not that difficult. Just remember, those dudes that built that car put their pants...

    Somethings wrong with the front end

    I would slap aluminum bushings in there so quick it would make your head swim.
  17. RustyRatRod

    Somethings wrong with the front end

    You've pretty much answered all your own questions. The k frame is rusted out and all the bushings are bad. Since the k frame supports the entire front suspension, any wear on the bushings where it attaches to the body will result in skewed alignment settings. Can you post a pic of the rusted...

    looking for a little help....

    The Dana Power Lock is the dead best limited slip there is...next to a Torsen gear drive unit, and those are pretty expensive. For a mild 340 on a street car in a 74 Charger. Well, I was bein funny with the 5.13s, but I think you'll be happier with either a 3.73 or a 3.91 because that car has...
