The Imperials use the "police car" accessory drives with the big 100A Motorola alternator. It was standard on those two models and optional on the rest. It requires the same boss on the intake for the AC as the standard-alternator arrangement. I just uninstalled one a month or so ago as well...

It shouldn't, unless it's noted as such. However, you might want to consider adding a skid plate, a la factory Hemi/Six Pack musclecars, to the bottom of your K to protect the sump. Ground clearance will be limited to say the least.

A Mopar Posi?! Is it going behind a 360 Turbo-Jet/TurboHydratmatic 727 combo in an Aspen SS?! :confused:

Slicks have little to do with it since shock loads happen regularly without them. Truth is, most guys don't have low-12-second cars (or faster) either with hard-hitting automatics or with 4-speeds they flat shift, so yeah--the 8.25" will work great for them. For the cars I'm building, an 8.25"...

You should probably post what gear ratio you want. ;)

You have an AHB that's not a Sure Grip?! Honestly, I've never come across such a car. Are you sure the cones in the diff aren't just worn? Any Mopar Sure Grip of the Borg Warner cone-clutch design (virtually everything except the Dana from 1970 until the '90s) will just act like a 1-legger...

The Banana Belt strikes again. 3 inches, maybe 4. :D

I think I did by saying "all the potential problems of the 8.25"..." I certainly meant to indicate that. Literally the only C-clip axle I've neither seen fail a C-clip, nor even heard of it, is the Chrysler 9.25". They were already big when Chrysler made them even beefier during the '84 model...

That's one of the things I love about that car... even the emblems had flair back then. RH taillight...

This picture of the hood emblem came out way cooler than I expected.

Wagons? Did someone say "wagons"? :D

Have you tried a Mustang site? Them's Ford parts. :D Just razzin' ya. Mopar never offered that style wheel in 15" though, so your best bet is probably to just bite the bullet and hit up Wheel Vintiques. They're actually not that expensive.

(Brown) :D

There has to be a way to make that arrangement work with more than the one crappy aftermarket intake that has a boss for it. I have an idea that might work, but I'm going to have to take some measurements and see if it can be done feasibly.
