My car is right around 3200-3300 pounds, I'm pretty sure. I had a 1947 Ford F2 with a manual double clutch transmission and obviously manual steering. It was a reliable runner with the original flathead V8. Had an 8 foot bed. I had that truck for a couple years, spent one summer using it to go...

Good to know. Why? I wouldn't mind having less stuff bolted onto my little engine and less stuff in the engine compartment, i.e. the power steering pump. Also, maybe more importantly, the power steering on this 1980 aspen is extremely soft, like all stock Dodge Aspens, I know about the firm...

Yeah, my understanding is that TransDapt conversion kits stop at the F Bodies, which is unfortunate. MoTech acquired Schumacher. MoTech has told me they'll have the Schumacher conversion mounts ready for sale by early 2022. Like maybe even in January. So they are coming back available, hopefully

Hey BudW, Once I get my mounts ordered I'll be sure to get on here and make the thread. I actually have a used high mile slant six that I recently repainted and am planning on swapping into my car pretty soon. My original plan was to do the V8 conversion in 3-4 years, I was only going to swap...

If I want to get rid of my power steering bin my 1980 Dodge Aspen, can I just buy a manual steering box? Will it bolt right in in place of the power steering box? Or do I need other pieces? Thanks.

I have been in contact with MoTech in California, they stated that they plan on having the Schumacher conversion mounts available for sale by early 2022, they are thinking January. If you are looking for these mounts they will out you on a list and contct you when they get their shipment in...

To anybody who is keeping track; I spoke with MoTech (the company who purchased Schumacher) and they stated they will have the Schumacher mounts available for sale in early 2022, they are thinking January. They put me on a list and will contact me when they arrive. They were friendly and invited...

Looks awesome! T Top 2 dr coupe is a good lookin car. Bets of luck selling, wish I was in a place to make a grab at it.

I am interested in a V8 K member from any FJM car, mounts, brakes, torsion bars would be great too. Thanks

If anyone has a V8 K member that will swap into my 1980 Dodge Aspen, please let me know. I have a 360 I would like to put in this car. Mounts, brakes, torsion bars would be great too. Thanks Simon

Hello, I'll try to figure out how to PM you too. Do you still have the V8 K member for that car? If so, I'd love to have it. And engine mounts if they are there. Thanks Simon

Blue: Are you getting some mounts from your local guy? Any chance he could make two sets instead of one? Assuming you're putting in a 360 that is. I would take copies of whatever he put together for you if they worked and looked strong. K Member would be great, I'll buy one if I find see one...

Norway? That's Viking land. I know a guy who moved there just for the Heavy Metal. Or was it Sweden? I think it was Norway. He's the Angry Metal Guy on the internet. My good friend's brother. Personally; I grew up with metal and pop, I like all sorts of music; and none well enough to build my...

I realize I kinda hi jacked this thread, I should have been more careful about that. I didn't mean to do that. I got a good idea of how to proceed. I'm really just looking for those mounts, if anyone has them. Given the title of this thread I thought I would ask here. I've got an intro thread...

Totally, sounds like you got a cool car. I am really looking forward to making mine quicker. One way or the other I'll get it figured. Maybe just a ratchet strap around the whole thing? I could stop and tighten it up every so often. LOL I'll probably have to get out a magic marker, some...

Remow, Would you consider selling the small block F Body K Member? I do have a parts wanted thread going in the for sale section too, I shouldn’t have started two places. I have my slant six mounts in the car which I’ll pull with the engine when I start the project no later than January. I...

I wrote that I had purchased this car in April of 2021 but I made a mistake. Looking back throughmy savings account I withdrew the money for this car in the last couple weeks of March 2021. So I guess i have owned this car since March of 1991. I got my Intro posted with a few more pics...

SUB03: Beautiful car. Looks great with those wheels, and the paint is nice. I bet it handles good too. Is your Magnum fuel injected or did you convert it to carburetor? One of the reasons I went with the LA block was because I plan on a four barrel carburetor. Mine came complete with rollers...

Hello, Like everybody else; I am excited to find this site with people who are into F,M,and J model cars. Last April 2021 I had a chance to buy the same model, year, color, and trim car that I had previously owned as my first car when I was fifteen years old in 1994. My son is 13 now, and I had...

I think its cool too. Here's a picture of mine. I'll do my little introduction thread later tonight.

I get more looks, thumbs ups, and compliments in my 1980 Aspen sedan than I ever expected. Especially from kids 20 years old and younger, including my 13 year old son and his friends.. My boy knows the names and specs of every modern sports and super car, etc... He keeps track of how many of...

Probably not. Worth the ask?

Hey Mike, I do have an 8.25 in the car, which I'm excited about. I also have a second 8.25 out of a 79 Volare sitting in my garage. Both are old and covered in rust right now. The one in the car is fine and the one in the garage is not locked up, both are open gears. I'm gonna stick with the...
