No they're off a B body,,,,just not a 72 and older.

So your option for "a lot cheaper and easier" solution to a forward facing steering arm that does not result in negative ackermann and retains the t-bars,,,,is what exactly?? I'm honestly open to any options really

Aluminum is just a side benefit not at all the reason to swap.
Mounting the 3.6L would be a bit easier with the steering gear and drag link out of the way. Since its a good 10" shorter than a small block, it leaves a lot of room up front for a rack.


Sorry, I thought you said you were focusing on Unsprung weight and F/R weight balance.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
