1978 440 Liquifire Suspension Swap

[Ryan C]

Has anyone on here tried swapping a suspension from a 1990 340 jag to a 440 liquifire? I don't want to go through all the hassle of changing drivers and track. The 340 jag has the same length track so therefore I figured that skid would work best? Track length is 116". The holes for the jag are about 6 inches closer together where it bolts onto tunnel, suppose that will cause me any trouble?

The 78 Liquifire suspension is a prized system in the realm of the full body Liquifires and Cyclones. It is often sought after to upgrade the 76 and 77 sleds for its lightweight and greater tunability.

I am not sure if your 78 suspension is missing or broken but my advice is to learn it and appreciate it for what it is. However, there have been some really nice swaps using early Indy suspensions. Keeping it low and lean. Subtle is key here. Don't start drilling holes until you are certain that's where they belong. Filling holes is a bigger hassle than learning the intricacies of changing drivers and tracks. Plan the work and it wont seem as such.

Good luck.

Unfortunately the suspension has a broken spring and the shock is ruined. Also, the track guides have been rubbing on the coil of the spring and they are 3/4 wore through. I thought it would be best if i tried swapping out for a newer style. I've done some research on it and will do my due diligence before doing any mods.

Busco Bullet has a shock for that suspension but not a spring. I also have to side rails if you need them. DA
