Hey Folks,
I've enjoyed looking through this forum and seeing the pics of all the cars so I thought I'd contribute to the Moporn
The idea I've had for this build is simply put... AAR Tribute Car. It's been a fine balance of staying true to the original car and having the creative liberty to customize. The suspension is mostly stock, to the exception of all FirmFeel components. Stage2 steering, 1" T-bars, QA1 adjustable shocks, tubular UCA's, boxed lowers, reinforced k member steering bracket, 1.25" front sway and .75" rear sway, all Moog front end. Rear has the 3/4 relo kit with custom brackets for the front hangers so that normal XHD 22" springs can be run. Frame has US car tool frame connectors and a 4 point roll bar. The engine is a 68 HP block solid roller 440, all forged, ported edelbrocks, victor intake, demon carb. Tranny is built with components from Cope Racing; billet servos, 4.2 lever, 15 spring piston, low band apply reverse manual valve body, custom built 9.5" stall, etc... (didn't go with the billet drum) 3.55's in an 8 3/4. I plan to run 17's all around for good handling and traction. 245/45/17 on 8" fronts and 285/40/17 on 10" rears. I'd love to see anyone else's car running those size wheels! Oh ya, Wilwood brakes all around, Rocky Mountain Dashes E2 dash insert, Arizen leather seats.
At this point in time, the engine, tranny, suspension, and exhaust (2.5" Magnaflow) are installed. Everything else will be going in at a rapid rate now. It's been in the shop for over 2 years, but has been well worth it!!
Here's some pics of the build along the way... I can add more as it continues to go.
