bigges issues is steering and bad vibration when accelerating.

steering system- 5 inch drop with disk brakes but only turn 1/4 of way to the left and full movement to right. steering colum hits exhaust manifold. etc.

bad vibration when accelerating or letting off of the gas.

car has a 350 engine with 400 turbo trans and factory rear end.

Wanting to restore and turn into a great project, first of many mopar projects .





well I can see some of the problems, it has a 350 and turbo 400 they belong in a chevy not a mopar


Personally I like a mustang II style frontend for a good ride and braking with rack and pinion steering.

a axle can work OK if everything is put together right but it sounds like yours has some spring and steering box issues as you say it only turns 1/4 of the way to the left.

I would at least change the column and steering box to something newer and maybe to a cross steer.

I would also change the engine and trans to a mopar drive train a "B" body 8 3/4 rearend fits nice in these cars


here is what I recommend" if you have the $$$$$$

a mustang frontend with 5 lug rotors and power rack and pinion.
a 318 or 360 with a 727 trans.
a B body rear end with like 3.23-3.55 gears.

that would make a great driver car. Ron....
