How many kwh do you expect to generate with that 12 KW system?

My calculations show around 50 kwh/day as a yearly average, but I'm not sure that's correct.

you are very close, 52 kwh a day.
 
you know, I really love you fabo guys in a non - romantic way.

you are the only guys I can talk with about my 360, and general mechanical problems and observations...and you all know what I am talking about and listen.

You know what happens if I start telling my parents or friends about my 360 or my love for dusters. ***I will hear crickets***

Some people don't understand....it more than just a car...its a lifestyle.

Mopar or No car, Brothers
 
I am looking so forward to making a Jegs exhaust video.

I am almost there, I have the Jegs exhaust system that I am putting in the 75 dart.

when funds avail themselves, I think I am getting the Hooker headers that the kit was made for. I think they are like $191. or something ....actually cheaper than stock 74/5 dated manifolds.

then I need to re-seal the 360 and get a balanced flex plate and put it all together.

finally some V8 Duga Duga Duga Duga

I think I have been driving a slant six too long, nothing against my beloved slanty but you know, the V8 rumble is nice to have back
 
plus on top of it, I will have the 318 that comes out of the car to play with for another car and later time.

I think it's a 73 dated 318 that some previous put in at some point (original slant six car)

Might be a good 318 to follow the FABO low buck 318 build up with....since it's not numbers matching to anything I have and there is no sentimental value attached to it.
 
I need a Scamp or Dart I can stuff my "left over" pieces-n-parts into - either that or sell them off...

the balanced flywheel is a temporary thing because the car will not be complete until the 833 OD goes in.

I already checked the 360 and we have a GO for the crank accepting a input shaft of a manual transmission.

I have a cast iron 76 dated OD for it but I only have the transmission alone so I am projecting another 1k by the time I get a shifter, rods flywheel, clutch and on and on ......I do have the SB OD bellhousing tho.
 
The trials and tribulations of wearing one's heart on one's sleeve. Like Don Quixote chasing a windmill, i was destined for heartbreak. Now to try and find some solace in the remaining shell of my life.. oh whatever will I do? Aw, F' it! Let's have a drink!

there is always room for another family member.

People around me keep telling me I am crazy for fixing a 75 dart when I have older one and all but their comments motivate me even more to love that car.

I made up my mind I like Beak cars and I don't really care what they are worth. If anything it works for me that so many reject 73+ A-bodies ...as my dad says "less mules, more corn" LOL
 
if the car would have still had a slant six I would have kept it a slant six car.

But why reverse what some previous owner did and the V8 spool mount K is there and disk brakes and everything is complete and assembled. I would actually have to find and buy a slant six K and all. Seems easier

everyone needs at least one Dart swinger in the fleet. That was a main player for Chrysler Corp staying in business and for good reason.

yea - but I'm ScampMike - even if I were to get a Dart, I would probably make it look like a Scamp... need one with a dinged up nose

I'm thinking I need to be more realistic and get my chit together and sell --- dahh.. If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice...

Actually, if you find the right car to put together you may make more $$ overall. These old Mopars are selling like hotcakes in good running condition.
 
it's just like with the dang bike.. nope, can't ride more than one at a time... and we really have out grown the one I have now... but I j u s t c a n t d o it... LOL
