Still tyring to figure out exactly how I want to do this in terms of boxing it in for strength and looks. Should have all of the cutting and grinding done today then I`ll have a REAL welder do his magic. 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

I was just thinking a rectangular tubing so you didnt need to bend up something... even the 3" tubing is OD so it needs 3" ID

I don't know if you will have room for three holes in the torque box because the large bolt in the caltrac bar will hit the box in the upper hole I would thank you would need at lease 1in in between the holes but not sure In the 8s N/A.with Brett miller W8's 5.07 at 133 at 2700lb

Starting to think the fully boxed mopar re-locating idea`s the best since it ties everything nicely together.............. I`ll see if someone local can make me something w/at least two holes although Calvert says most guys just put in w/one and it`s fine.

Also would like to see the difference in how the springs mount, going from a 22 inch segment to the 25 inch ones. 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

I can really see by looking under my car how this will help and now it mounts real close to my roll bar plate which should make it stronger. The new spring has the same size ft. mount and the part # is LF125-445. Hopefully my friend shows up soon to snap some shots so back at it............... 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....
