A body aftermarket front end choices for the street - 10/28/14 03:29 AM

I am considering putting an aftermarket front end on my 68 barracuda pro street car. I have looked at Alterkation and Magnum Force. Are there any others to consider? Also, please give me real life experiences. I would like to keep the inner fenderwells and put bigger headers if possible. Please remember this is for a street car that will be run at the strip. Thanks for the input. Ken

I use mine for racing only but would work well on the street as well. Spindles are a key to ride height and wheel location I use 2" drop 73/76 disk break spindles from Magnumforce (500) bucks.
with coilover AFCO double adjustable. Good luck!

They are built to order so what ever you want is possible. Price depends on what you supply but basically in the 2500 ballpark.

I've heard nothing but good things about Hemi Denny. He has a mockup of his suspension at the Nat's every year in front of the A-body tent.

Who, besides Qa-1, makes a lower control arm for an A Body using a stock K Member.??

Also, who makes a steering arm ball joint that bolts to a stock spindle.. (Like a K785 & K787 ball joint)

Chris..
