So from reading all the comments i will leave the idea of traction bars behind and get the springs remade more robust as i don't want any...
The axle i'm using was coil sprung so has some control arms attached to the top like in the drawing but i doubt they would line up with the...
I won't be doing any racing as just building a hot cruiser, as the mopar will surpass the HP of a Stude V8 i thought best look at improving the...
Hi, my current project is fitting a Mopar small block with automatic overdrive trans and limited slip diff into a Studebaker Lark, i will be...
They do fit , just have to miss a few bolt holes, the Magnums have more bolts and better sealing but the LA ones look older been smooth. The idea...
Thats good to know so my 5.2 should be about right for the Lark , i intend to keep the MPI as makes it easier for the trans lock up and overdrive...
I am going with the manual steering for now as after previous comments and further inspection i see how troublesome fitting a rack and pinion...
I am in the process of fitting a Mopar Magnum/46RH now so the front end should be a fair bit lighter. I have no objection to driving with manual...
Same engine? all Magums are in trucks aren't they and designed to pull a 1 ton trailer. I was just curious if a Magnum would make a good street...
I assume as you are running an RE trans you have the entire Dakota drive train fitted, just curious if you have done any engine mods as i ditched...

I have been looking at axles for the past year but hard to find any compatible or even close to what i want here in Europe. The plus side of the...
When i first started looking for axles a year ago i found a couple of 90's Volvo's in the local salvage yard but they have Dana 30 with 5x108 bolt...
Thanks for the link, this is the first time i can actually read a thread on that forum as i usually get blocked on the site for been in Europe i...
Very limited with axle choices as i am in Spain thats why i was considering shortening the Dana 35. I looked into the front coil springs as i will...
I have some 6" rims with 195/60 tires that i put on so i could move it and there's still space to go wider, i'll have to check the offset on them.
I have the whole matching drive train of 318 Magnum, 46RH OD trans, drive shaft and Dana 35 with LSD all in good working condition i don't really...
Not so common in Spain, the dana 35 i have has finned brake drums and a LSD.
