OK Mopar Guys and Gals, I'm back. Got sidetracked for a few months. I'm still on it. Any good leads on Mopar junkyards within 50 miles or so of Atlanta? Dare I hope...barn finds? I'm living in Covington now. The Net here is not reliable, but I will be on as often as I can. Lost my main job doing...

I'm still around. Sorry I haven't been on lately. Life got in the way for a bit. Still is, so my search is on hold atm. I haven't forgotten, and I plan to continue this project as soon as I can. Thanks again for all the good helps.

That's true. The turbo is still an option, for later. After I become more familiar with how to tune and maintain one and after I have maybe 2 /6 engines in the garage as spares just in case... It's the same with what I do for a living. Electronics recycling, computer repair/refurb/resell. In...

Thanks. I plan to. I'm still looking hard for a car atm. Me, also. I always learn something, even if it doesn't directly apply to what I plan to do.

A reality check. Thanks. I needed that. I got ahead of myself. Appreciated. No apology necessary. I should note that I'm not inexperienced. I have helped to tune, build, and rebuild engines and transmissions, and helped to redo interiors. I have not yet built my own. And I have no experience...

Ah. OK. Noted. Thanks. But maybe I should stick with NA for now. I don't have the budget to replace the engine should I get it wrong.

It's cool. I like '67-'68 and '70-'72 Valiants also, but I prefer the Darts. 8)

You're welcome. Noted. I will. But your research, presentation, and experience in other areas count for much also. I wish you luck on your first run, when the time comes. And I wouldn't consider it wasted time. Frustrating, maybe, if it didn't work right the first time, but not waste.

BTW, This is a blue Dart like the one I'm searching for... And two others I also like. The second green one, depending on how far the rust has gotten, is OK.

LOL I bet I would! And surprise quite a few folks, too. Part 2 of the fun part. Thanks very much, Mr. Dedman. Your seal of approval means a lot. I learned quite a bit from your posts, and the most from your comparison of Turbo /6 vs. HotRod V8. I'm strongly considering going the turbo route...

One word comes to mind... Beautiful. :blob:

Noted. Thanks. I will search it out. At first, though, I'll likely go with a stock pump modded for better feel. The Borgeson unit can be a "for later".

LoL cool :-D Thanks. I plan to. As for my build plan, I've added a stock 7-blade viscous drive fan, better fan shroud, cold air induction setup, and battery relocation to the trunk to the list. If I did go turbo, given my current budget limits, it would be the setup described by ssrixon4406...

I searched and got this, for a start... http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question432.htm
