    1980 Volare Cop Car

    I don’t believe it’s function is a strut rod it’s removal was one of the first things I did to my Volare. Removal of the front sway bar allows the suspension to drop farther and quicker. Drag cars usually only use a sway bar on the rear suspension this helps the vehicle leave level. While this...

    Rough shift at 25 mph

    When was the last time the transmission was serviced, I’ve had a 904 struggle with shifting and even going into gear because of a filter. Your fluid level might be lower than it should be also, top it off in park with a motor running. But it probably needs a service fluid, filter, bands adjusted...

    WANTED Anyone parting out an F-Body? Need a small part cut from the floor.

    No need for the attitude just trying to help, you had a picture with a bracket and one without so I was just trying to help. Looks like you need the frame rail under it also. And yes I probably have the part you need.

    Mirada 318cid - Heads and exhaust manifold?

    Here’s what I think in general, New cam - new springs especially when everything is fifty years old. I like using new valves because once they are ground they sit lower in the head and they can alter head flow. As far as porting or head work any machine shop can take a few thousand's off your...

    A BODY TO F BODY FRONT END

    I used Ebody headers for my RB swap in my Plymouth Volare, they are 2” slip fit with a Hooker Headers slip on collector and collector extension. The slip fit headers are great if you need to replace your starter or replace a header gasket.

    Is that the rear seat fastener? It would help if you had an overall picture of the area you are looking for and a specific area that you want maybe marked with tape or marker.

    Manual Swap?

    There’s one thing to consider when acquiring all the pieces and that is to use a V8 bell crank for a V8 and a /6 bell crank for a /6, don’t try to modify the wrong one. The ratios are different between the two.

    81 DIPLOMAT WEARING 80 ASPEN FRONT END

    Basically it’s just a headlight mounts the grill attached to them also. The bumper filler is below the grill and headlights. I believe the fenders are the same between the two cars but the hood is different and there are fender extensions.
