They started the project by removing the whole stock front suspension and throwing it a away in favor of a Magnumforce tubular K-member and there lightweight upper and lower control arms. This knocks of a tremendous amount of weight of the nose and greatly improves the cars balance. There are also custom BIG front and rear sway bars to keep the heavy weight Dodge from sloshing around. Thanks to Trick suspension and adjustable 10 position coil-over shocks on all four corners, and sits notable lower then a stock machine, and was enhanced with the addition of Wheels Vintiques 18" Magnum 500- style wheels and low profile Nitto drag radials. There is a "Strange Engineering" Dana 60 rear end out back suspended on "Super Stock" springs and hidden behind all FOUR wheels is a 13" Wilwood dilled & slotted rotors with Monster calipers holding six pistons. For power the Super Bee uses a 426 Hemi motor with a single four Holley carburetor to ease maintenance and reliability. The torque Monster Hemi is mate to a built 727 Torqueflite automatic transmission with a 2500 stall and is held in place with a Magnumforce designed system of buffered engine plates. The plates mount the Hemi rigidly to the forward legs of the cars roll cage, tying everything together up front in a nice tight fashion. The bars themselves are welded to the shock towers to add more reinforcement to the whole chassis, and buffer plates hold the Hemi level while insulating the shimmy from the car and thus greatly reducing the overall shaking of the car which is typical of vehicles using simple straight mount motor plates. There is a boat load of chrome and a healthy amount of polished aluminum, and for comfort and reliability sake a GM style electric alternator, Vintage air conditioning, power steering, power rack and pinion, Dakota orange digital dash, custom steering wheel, two tone black & rust interior, custom sound system and more!
