Is anyone here running the Hemi Denny conversion on a A body?

I have been running his complete k member conversion for a couple of years. Really stable at speed and easy to adjust and work on. Denny is great to work with as well.

I talked to Denny the other day and he said about 3" of travel at the wheel.

HDk (Hemi Denny) seems to have a great reputation. I'm gonna order a complete front end next week. He has been amazing to communicate with, answers all questions quickly.

He comes across as a genuine, nice guy, if I ever go tube K member it'll be his.

Just remember the option is always there to weld in new front frame rails and put things where you want them.

If this was a race car it would have a strut front end on it.

I'm considering building my 65 Dart for the street car series that runs local. It would a Pro Street type deal, four link, big tire with a strut front and a LOT lighter than the 69 is.

I have his LCAs in my KOS Demon to allow me more room where the torsion bars were. I do not have the brace for the pivot pin cause I don't I need it. He made me a couple pins that work with the stock K-frame, and you weld a brace "washer" where the pins usually waller out the K frame. Care must be taken to get that doubler welded in the right place to keep the LCAs aligned properly.

I think I have 400 or 450# 8" springs on the DA Viking shocks.

What car? How much does the front end of your car weight?

No strut car will ever handle as well as an A frame car. Struts make room for stuff, and they're a little lighter. Beyond that, they're not as good. As evidenced by road racing.

They even reintroduced A frames to Pro Stock a couple years ago.
