Thanks M, here are some pics of the project and a few notes: I lengthened the heater core pipes and brazed on FPT threaded fittings to make up for the increased depth into the passenger compartment. I pressure tested the assembly in water before installing in the heater box. This would not not...

Nice question. Got me to write out all of the upgrades for my 1968 Dodge Dart GTS 383 resto/stealth mod. It's long but here you go: Wiring Upgrades –Supply Side Relocate battery to passenger side of trunk Installed 4-terminal 300 amp bus bar on firewall Installed 2/0 SGX cable from bus bar...

Many thanks for the great article :thumbsup: It did take about 40 hours to make the mods, restore the heater box, and reinstall it 4 or 5 times :). This is what the firewall side of the blower motor looks like now in my '68 Dart 383GTS, with Edelbrock Victor 440 heads and 440 Source aluminum...

Here is a pic of the Schumacher torque strap kit on my '68 Dart 383, but a '74 K-member. I welded and bolted it. The bolts also attached the Firm Feel sway bar bracket which give it additional strength.

Fab'd and installed an enclosed buss bar and ground post station to support the trunk mounted battery. This will power the rad fans, 110A alt, MSD AL6, etc on my '68 Dart GTS. Securely mounted with stainless rivnuts. I'll post more details in technical forum post.

I'm looking for a Edelbrock 2186 Intake Manifold for my '68 Dart project. Edelbrock isn't producing them again till May 2022 (maybe). I'm in NorCal, CA 95449. Thanks

Sorry for the delayed reply. 1980's 11 3/4” NOS Mopar rotors and rebuilt calipers. There is a picture in this thread: 383 installed

My flexplate instructions say to check the alignment between crank and trans shaft. I have a professionally rebuilt '68 383 and a ProTrans 727 TF. Any suggestions or cool tool recommendations to measure this in the tight space? Thanks.

Please tell me why the offset is desired. I used the Dr Diff alu master cylinder in my 1968 Dart 383 with 440Source valve covers & TTI 2" headers.
