RUST OR BUST Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I am a new member who has been reading posts over the past couple of weeks. I am tearing down my 48 D24 coupe. My current plans are as follows...... 1972 440, 727 trans. 8 3/4 rear. I might change my mind on the motor, pending on what I find when I am ready for mock up. The 440/727 that I have has been sitting in my shed for a while. Anyhoo, I am deciding on the brakes and suspension. I see there a lot of posts about using the old suspension, with upgraded brakes and shock relocation. I am leaning this way, but I want to check it out first. I just have a few questions, if any of you have input, I am listening. Q1--Is there a build thread that shows these mods? I have searched for it, I am not finding it if there is. Q2-- Can you still get bushings etc. for the original front end parts? Q3-- With the brake upgrades, and shock relocation, will the front end hold up to the 440? any help will be greatly appreciated.

Don Coatney Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Good to see another Hoosier on board. The 440 most likely weighs less than the flathead 6. Go here for a lot of good reading. http://p15-d24.com/topic/37781-rebuilding-a-p10-front-end/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
