have a 65 Dart with a 360, is it possible to swap cams with the motor still in the car? is there room out front? anyone been there done it?
 
I did it to my dart sport. Had to temive grille and front hood latch assembly. Not hard just a few bolts holding these components. Cam will go in much easier this way.
 
I've swapped cams in A-bodies more than once. Never removed the grill. Radiator and that was it.
 
I had to remove the grille in my 65 Valiant. It may have come out without it, I don't know, but the grille was perfect and I knew I would be leaning all over it and it could have gotten damaged, so I removed it first. It's not like it's difficult.

We gotta have a Georgia get together one of these days. There are several of us from the peach state. We need to meet up somewhere.
 
Ok, so help the OP out. You didn't know that a Dart Sport wasn't an early A??? No need to be smartie pants, were trying to help. You can do the same. :)
I've never swapped a cam out in an early or late A body with the engine in the car, but figured it would be tighter in an early A than a later one. That's why I asked the question, for future reference. Not trying to be a "smarty pants", sorry if you felt offended.
 
Thanks for input, can someone tell me the length of a sbm cam, don't have on layin' round.

I knew a Dart Sport wasn't an early A body, that's why I asked the question. You're the one who jumped in on an Early a Body Forum with a comment about a later A body that didn't relate to his question.

In any case, glad you're not offended. :>)

naa ahhh..... u said it first, and you already knew but wouldn't say it and all that about his dart sport not being a early A but you asked and so I jumped in but you just won't admit to it. Now nobody is going to play with you at recess.... :D :D
 
OK boys, ol Rodney King would not be proud of You'all, "can't we all just get along?"
 
Grill's gotta come out for sure, probably the hood latch brace also, just something else to place on the crowded back burner.
