Whats my wheelbase?
Just making sure I get my wheelbase right when I order frame conectors. Is it 108" or is it 111" ? I have a 2 door Dodge Dart, I have heard the 4 doors have a longer wheelbase then the 2 doors but I also am pretty sure the Dusters and Demons had a shorter wheelbase then the Darts. So would my wheelbase be 111" as I suspect?

Do your self a favour and log onto bigblockdart.com. Under misc check out the installation of the weld in frame connectors.
I modified the installation slightly by using 3x2x1/8 x16" long overlapping and coming off the back rails and then overlapping 44" of 2x2x1/8" tubing with 4" extending to mate up with the front rail. All for a 111' wheelbase. No relocation of emergency brake cable required. It requires some extra fitting/grinding time to get it all together but sure makes a nice clean and efficient installation and in my estimation 2000% (okay 200%) better than the bolt in type. |

Well I wanted to get bolt in connectors and then just have them welded in for extra strength

Question about wheelbase?
I remember reading that Chrysler advertized that the Challanger had a 1" longer wheel-base than the Cuda.
Anyone know about this or even remember? |

I think the Cudas wheel base is three inches shorter than the Challengers.

If you gonna weld in the connectors then the bolts will be obselete...i wouldn't waste time with bolt-ons, hole elongation and weakness are what i've read about bolt-ons. I know i'll be welding in mine. Check out www.autorust.com, mopar muscle, car craft or somebody used theirs and they loved them. Their 3"ers require a notch in the rear floor pan but the structural stength is well worth it.
