dodge 318 in a bucket

[hubba]

Not a problem if you mount the Corvair box on top of the frame. If using Vega box, just use u-joints and supports for the shaft to the box to get around any obstacles.

Moparbucket comes around the forum sumtimes. he has a 318, corvair box high. the stearing angle is very nice. his frame is wider than normal to accomadate a Dogde bros shell. there may be a pic or 2 at westtexasts.com, the club site.

Here is a pic of it. You can just see the steering box, peeking out behind the header.

The starter is inside the frame, and the box is on top so there isn't any clearance issues.

Thanks. i order me some motor mounts for a 1974 dodge dart like these http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/ANR0/2325.oap?pt=02327&ppt=C0019 going to build me just some ears to weld to the frame.

Total Perf. mounted the box below the floor under the body. There is tons of room in front of the body. That being said put a Ford in it. :suicide:

So low that on many of the cars the pitman arm would drag the ground.
