1966D100
Behind my Polysphere making engine noises and
On my sweptline, or really more like how to modify it a bit.
I'm thinking of just making this thing a bulavard cruiser and road trip kind of vehicle. It'd be cool to have a killer Poly motor to run the strip....but there's not to many near me right now (or where my D100 is being stored). So, i see no point in building a strip burner if theres no strip to burn. But thats just my two cents on the matter of my vehicle.
But i found a website that has a front disc kit for the D100, but i need to find one part thats not in there:
2 ea. Caliper slider mounts from the following cars (about $10 each from junk yard ):
If you are installing on a 57-60 truck any of the following types of sliders will work.
If you are installing on a 61-71 truck you will need to use the smaller Chrysler 5 th Avenue type.
1976-1979 Aspen
1986 Chrysler 5th Avenue
1977-1979 Diplomat
1979-1981 Dodge cars
1977-1979 LeBaron
1976-1979 Plymouth Volare
Here's the site www.uglytruckling.com They also got information and a kit to get me power brakes in that thing. Plus they have a link to a companies website in Canada who they say has engineered a usable power steering unit to work with the solid front axle. I'd keep it manual steering if my steering wheel was still good (missing horn emblem, rim chiped and cracked....and aparently AC/DC Rocks LOL).
But here's another question. I wouldn't mind jumping to a 5-spd in that beast. I got two pictures of the Polysphere bellhousing off the 318. I'm wondering what would hook up to that. Or, is that bellhousing patern the same as a LA or magnum (because i was thinking of using a NV 3500 transmission off of a Ram or Dakota and i know they have a molded on small block bellhousing.) But for now, i'm just looking. Still waiting on my price quote on a cab, not sure if they're taking their time to look for one or if they still haven't stoped laughing at me, either way, no word yet. But just figured i'd post that info if anyone here has a sweptline they wouldn't mind adding better brakes too.
