oh ok, so most of your clearence issues are the inner fenders, but the driveline also. So if I plan to lay it on the ground, I should expect to notch the floor for the driveline? I forgot that the alterktion has a little bit wider track up front. do you see any problem with the stock gas tank, mine sits behind the axle, so the 4-link wont interfere, but I am worried about it scraping sitting down low, I am thinking I might have to go a cell in the trunk.
I am kind of worried about my oilpan, thats the only downside to keeping the /6 is no one makes a performance oil pan to tuck it up above the k-member, I know V8's are more popular and more people make stuff for em, but I figured my car is going to be so unique, it would be awesome to run a built /6 when everyone expects a V8. I am going to see if I can fit the exhuast over the axle and full drop to put duals out the back, but thats not important if I cant.
I understand trying to keep it simple for your sake cuase you can ultimatly sell a kit once you figure it all out, which would be awesome to see more mopars with air ride.
it sounds like where you want your ride hieght is where I want my normal hieght, about 6 inches away from the ground, there will be a few times I drive it lower, showin off, but I dont want to eat up my tires. I am not too worried about a muscle car look, cuase the 4 doors dont really look like muscle cars, they have that classic car look like from the early 60's. I want to have the suspension set up for a larger tire so in the winter and I can throw the stock tires on if I have to drive it.
When I test the limits of the balljoints and suspension, should I swap it to the big bolt pattern first, or should it matter. I have small pattern drum brakes up front, I will upgrading to larger disk, but will it make a difference if I test it with the stock stuff on?
hopefully I can get my garage clean so I can start, the more I talk about it, the more excited I get. I have 2 cars and 2 trucks and have plans for all of them, but the rest of my vehicles can wait cuase they all run a drive, where the valiant is just sitting, and I have owned it longer, so it deserves to be spoiled for awhile.
I really appreciate all the help your giving me, I am only 19 and by no means a professional, but I have skill and the ability to pick things up pretty quick, the few months I was in welding class, my teacher was very impressed by my welds, I learned how to do body work myself, and I learned mechanics from my father. People around here think kids are just all talk, but if someone would give me a chance to work in there shop, I am sure they would not be dissapointed. Most people see that i dropped out of highschool my senior year, but what they dont see is I am finishing my highschool at a local college. its just really awsome that you are willing to help people, and I really appreciate it.
thanks,
Mike
