Actually there IS something wrong with the Volare swap - it's a horrible suspension. It was designed when Chrysler was sinking in the '70s. The transverse torsion bars were put there so they could keep bragging about "torsion bar ride". The suspension has bump steer and other problems when the car is in motion. In short, its a bad design.
My friend who was a board member had a mid-50s ford truck that had this suspension. He said it took him many trips to the alignment shop and a lot of $$$ to get it to go down the road straight.
Now the setup may be as tough as nails, but an ill-handling car is an abomination. I have to believe the Dak front end is better.
