update on my ol Dodge


it's waiting on parts now

Different oil pan so the QA1 steering has room, well, hell, actually just so it can bolt on, seriously. 

The axles need to be upgraded to "Green Bearings/sealed bearings" so the Wilwood discs can be mounted

The name comes from the Green Bearing Company which first produced them. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/green-bearings-v-oem.392746/

    1. thanks! But I know that at 8 mpg, it simply runs out of fuel very fast, and 20 gallon tanks are 100 bucks to fill, at 5 dollars a gallon, the cost here in San Diego.

  2. It's cool you have Year of Manufacture plates.

    1. thank you! The plates are one of several things that set this car apart from other Mopars I could have bought for the same amount,... the plates, match the factory colors (yellow and black vinyl roof top) and that it may have never left So Cal, as there are only 135k miles on it, and it was sold in the LA area dealership, no signs of previous collisions, and there's no rust. Plus, numbers matching block came with it, though it currently has a 426 max wedge, but that it's topped with the rare 440 Six Pack intake and carbs, which were what I'd been desiring for about 15 years prior to getting this car... and factory 4 spd, and Dana 3.54s... at only 22k when I bought in in Feb 2002
