    A set of Tourqe boxes front and rear and and bolt on QA1 upgrade of the Stock Torsion bar suspension as well as a set of Super Stock springs would be better than that. Speedway Engineering spline drive sway bars are 2way adjustable. A Tremec TFX 5speed would eliminate the need for hacking, and Strange 60 is stronger and cheaper and eats less hp than a 9” for 20lb difference in weight. A narrowed Dana 60 out of a 3/4 van with passenger axles and a Detroit locker diff with much lighter preload springs for smoother engagement would be cheaper still with no loss of strength. One reason Detroit lockers get a rap for clunkiness is that most were set up for 1 ton trucks weighing 6-7000 lbs. Preload springs are available from the mid 40# weight to over 110lbs.And all the above for about half of the $20,000.00 above even with big brakes and a new steering box. .

    This is the second time I've seen this type of change on a old Mopar. Apparently they don't know that the suspension factory design and geometry was won of the best in history... especially on the later Barracudas. Between the roll center being properly positioned in the angles of the front suspension, the use of torsion bar to transfer this stress deep into the main body of the car, the anti-squat design of the control arms with offset pivots that radically improve braking, and the unequal length rear springs that acted as traction bars, but still gave a soft ride, there is little today that can be improved upon accept maybe independent rear suspension. You've now taken a chassis that was hundreds of pounds lighter than the competition and made it heavy. Some research needs to be done before making these kinds of changes. There are books written on just the suspension design of the Mopars. I had a 1974 Dodge Dart With a small block and with just some simpler upgrades to heavier torsion bars, and extra leaf in the rear springs, and added the optional factory front 3/4 inch swaybar and Diplomat rims with 225-60 tires, I could chase z-28, Preludes, etc around clover leafs and outbrake just about anything.

    • @MrClarkisgod
      @MrClarkisgod 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Nope. They made it about 75 lbs lighter, with better response and unsprung weight, and purposely got rid of the excessive weight transfer because this is not a car built for drag racing. What they put in is far superior to anything the factory and most of the aftermarket offers. If it wasn't the case they wouldn't even be making them and selling them for over $20k because nobody would buy them.

    My issue is why do this at all. I never see any show go in to tuning this chassis. Lets just spend money. Cjurrent mythology is that the ford 9" is the best. It is very good for many reasons, But no one talks about the drag in different diferentials, or where the pinion alignment to ring gear is for strength vs drag. Never blew up a mopar rear end. Broke a few axel flanges though.

Coils can have a beehive shape with varying thickness in the coil so that coils can get stiffer near their travel limit. By '65 Chrysler chassis engineers wanted to switch to coils but marketing surveys said a major reason people bought Mopars is the perception that torsion bars handled better - which the engineers believed wasn't necessarily true. Also, torsion bars anchor near the driver's feet and transmit more road noise to the interior and make routing exhaust more difficult. Autos have mostly gone to coils worldwide - even Chrysler.

    So close,... Rack's the wrong side of the front axle, and coil overs move mass upwards compared to Torsion Bars - and for the idiots who think Torsion Bars don't handle, go watch Formula One, where every chassis made since the early 90's has been Torsion Bar.
    I'd happily put a full chassis under my '66 Valaint, but I'd want to keep the Torsion bars up front, and add them at the rear for IRS, but I'd keep the leaf rear if live axle - don't forget, MoPar rear leaves are Toe In for more predicable response once loaded.
    Ford are zero toe, GM are toe out, which is why GM dialed in extra understeer up front to counter the rear end wanting to swap ends.
    Edit: and then he removes the disc and shows the upright,... And clearly has no idea why the factories did what they did on the uprights - that one is an accident waiting to happen.

    One thing that drives me crazy is when you guys use the word "fitment" for "proper fit" correct fit...etc...Look up fitment...it has nothing to do with fit. For the love of god please stop!

    I'd MUCH rather have original ride and drive. It juat takes away the soul of the car and makes it a faker. It'd be much easier to just go get a newer ca4 and forget it. No thanks.

      Restomods are getting more and more popular every passing day. They correct all the drawbacks of antiquated technology and keep the classic styling of the 60’s & 70’s. This particular restomod is going to outperform the stock car by a huge margin and be way safer to boot. 👢

      @Jack Russelle Lewis It significantly reduces your wallet weight, though.

    Wow, "new technology" is a coil over shock. Color me flabbergasted. . So, what exactly is it you gain by giving up all the advantages of torsion bars? So, no easily adjustable ride height. No easily replaced springs for a change of spring rate. So, what was that advantage again? Oh yeah. Coil over. Just like the wife's Mom Bomb.
    Color me a disbeliever. Now, if you put a strengthened and tweaked unibody against the frame butchery on several different types of race track and won them all, THEN I might start to believe. But $20K on some salesman's word ain't worth shit to me.
    To most people, all you've done is destroy a perfectly good restoration project. Hope you're happy. Next time chop up a new Challenger, there are a lot more of them and easily replaced with a simple factory order.
