Nice Build thread! So what I take away from this is I am going to need a very specific T56 with the right splines and input shaft length? Do you know if I use the quicktime bellhousing I can get by using the Dodge flywheel and pressure plate?

Quite honestly for something like a transmission I would pay whatever. All depends if its new or whatever. The 360 I have for this truck is one I built for my A-body and I built it with 3.73 or 3.91 gears in mind. Since my 42 dodge I am guess is in the same neighborhood weight wise as an...

From pictures i was looking at online they seem a whole lot beefier than anything that goes naturally into an A-body. kinda seems a lot longer too!

Thanks for the reply guys. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I never got notification that people replied to this thread. With the 435 I was wondering if that would be to much tranny. My 42 I am guessing is probably going to weight around the same as an A body. Maybe less. I...

I need manual trans suggestions for my hotrod 42 truck project. I was going to go 727 because I am more familiar with the Auto's mechanically speaking but the more I think about it a hot rod really should be a manual. The only manual trans I am familiar with is the one they used in the trucks...

I agree with everything Tyler says. I had a street/strip built 904 from CRT behind a 360 pushing 450Hp and it handled it nicely in a A-body and he gaurnteed it to handle up to 550HP if I remember right.

Anything in the 30's should be over all timing in my experience with the small blocks. Usually about 20 is what you want to see for initial assuming your cam is installed straight up and balancer is good.

How much is it to be a member? Are the meetings at that same bowling alley where the swap meets are held?

I dunno I have posted my email before with stuff and never had a problem but i can see your point if someone responds to this thread or pm it will eventually come to my email anyways. Also my pics aren't working because I didn't post any. I can email a pic if need be.

From A 73 Dart I believe still has the lower control arms on it too. $125. Located in South Eastern, WI.

DUDE! I can't stop watching both pics in your signature. They both mesmerize me in different ways! LOL

Thanks Abodyjoe! We were measuring 52 3/4 I believe but we were kinda bending the tape over the pumpkin area. Could also be why were measuring .5 inches wider on the perches too.

For flange to flange thats a different number that what we had looked up. Unless we are measuring to the wrong flange? Is this talking about the flange that the backing plate bolts to or the flange on the hubs?

Anyone know the dimension of an A-body 8 3/4 Housing without the axels in it? I have one sitting here that I wanted to sell to another FABO member but when he came over we got to measuring it and perch widths don't match any know dimension for any body style, 43.5 inches. And guessing how far...

I try to avoid. The weather always sucks and its a always packed and cramped and if you don't get there early you end walking forever to get there.

Since when does the state require pics for collector cars? Back when I was getting plates the only requirement for being considered stock for collector plates was you couldn't have any option on your vehicle that, that year didn't come with production wise. For example my Dart sport stock had...

So how do you guys go about lubing your thunder guns and what type of grease do you use? I am less than impressed by the instructions that came with mine. Its just a drawing of the gun with a picture of a grease gun pointing at the front and pointing at the back. I see what looks like a euro...

Thanks for all the replies! I ended up ordering the thundergun 232-TGSL. Maybe after I get it I will take it over to my brothers house and compare to his beast of a gun and see if it really measures up or not. I am still kinda skeptical it can do the same torque of a bigger gun at half the...

I was looking at getting a IR 231C impact wrench because of its affordability and I have heard its a pretty good tool for what I would need. I was kinda thinking I didn't need a high torque one because on the rare occasion I would need one I would just go borrow my brother's like I normally do...

There is actually a quite a few Darts around this area. Most of them hardly ever get driven. Once in awhile you seem them at the various shows are drive-ins around. Which shop you work at? I am surprised you have never seen my Dart sitting out for sale, I live right on the main drag through...

The picture in your avatar was that your dart? If so I used to see it every once in awhile when I was in LG. Couple summers ago I was cruising through one night in my Dart and I seen you go by tried to chase you down but it was a weekend and all the flat landers were up so I lost you in all...

Looks like you are a fairly new member with low post count still. It might be an option that opens up after awhile? Just a thought I don't know for sure.

Right but I figured a lot of the info would still be comparable between swapping 5.7 or 5.9. Good find on the link I didn't know he posted his vids here on his build, makes it a bit more convenient!

Go to Youtube and look up JamesFreddys channel. He does autobody vids and his own personal project is a 72 Dart that he has done this swap to. You will need to search through a lot of videos to find the info you want but its all there. He has vids showing how he worked the tunnel to get the...

Yea thanks for calling.

Sometimes when I talk to guys on the phone who call me about it. Seems like this is a big issue sometimes. People get thinking all Barret Jackson and making money and forget that is all rich guy fantasy crap. To me 340's don't do anything for me you can build a 360 better for cheapper. But...

Actually that pic with the leafs on the floor was a quickie taken with my cell phone. For what ever reason the only pics I had of the front Dash area were before I put the B&M shifter in. So some pics showed the shifter and some didn't so I had make a quick pic that wasn't so confusing.

http://janesville.craigslist.org/cto/2626185356.html Link to some pics of it for those that asked.

I think all dusters have a valiant badge on them somewhere. At least all the ones I have ever owned did, a 71 and 72. Even my 92 Duster was the same way and that was a completely different body/chassis all together.

Ok I have a 74 Dart Sport that I have been trying to sell for well over a year now. I paid $2500 for it 10 years ago and have put $3500 in parts I have put into as it sits now. That is just counting the big ticket stuff I though worthy of saving receipts for. I know this economy sucks but is...
