1965 Bel I before and after...

[brian.linn]

I recently changed out my 8-3/4 for a Dana 60 on my car... here are the before and after pics. FYI, I bought the new Super Stock springs from Jegs about 2 years ago and what a mess. From the main front eye bolt to the set screw for the spring perches, were off about a 1/4 of an inch. I had to tear down the old springs and new springs to build my own. But, it's finally done, now all I need to do is yank out the puny 273 for my 440. Any suggestions/ideas for the headers, other than TTI, I am using a big block cable shift 727 and heard the TTI's have some clearance issues. Right now I'm leaning towards Hooker.

Oh, BTW, I am also using this forum to show my lil' bro' who also is a gear head currently attending Wyotech's Hot Rod and Body program, the progress on my car. I am trying to sway him to the dark side of Mopar. Big "shout out" BJ!!! Keep up the hard work, You're making big bro' PROUD!!!

Awesome...I just love those 65 Plymouths. To make it look more "superstock", I would raise the nose. That tacho on the dash...sweet. Is that a Sun?

I have 11" wide tread, I'll have to hunt down the size... the tach is from Jegs, I'll have to get that info as well.
Thanks for the compliments.

Did you use the "new" spring mounts that are designed to make up the differance between the stock and SS Springs?

I got my engine back and ready to start putting it all together, after I get the fire wall and engine bay painted and possibly yank the K-member for some freshening up... BTW, anyone have any thoughts on buying a used converter? It is a Turbo Action (Part #17805??) 10" Street/Strip, about 15 years old with very minimal use... I know the owner pretty well and I trust him, but I would like to get some opinions on buying a used converter... Anyway, thanks for the kind words about my car, I will get some more pics and get them posted!!! Hope to see everyone next weekend at the Nat's in Ohio!!!!

 

[moparstuart]

You have a 50/50 chance of getting lucky with a used converter:edgy:If you can fit a new converter into your budget,I would say get a new one:yes:
