Good day everyone!
I’m Rob, pre-owned among lots of other Mopars a Challenger. Still sad that it had to go.
But a couple of cars later a yellow Dart brightens my life! Let’s wait and see how the project goes.

I’m from the Netherlands, Europe. I can do a RR beep-beep in four different colours, which my wife does not appreciate. my Dart:
Let’s hope it sticks with me!

shoot, now i dont know if i should welcome you from Michigan, where i pay my taxes, of uit Brabant, waar ik uit de klei getrokken ben

since it doesnt have an engine now...what are the plans once its all accounted for?
 
I have a 360 ready to drop in. And a 727 to be rebuilt.
I’ve put the 360 in my avatar, here’s a big pic: this one was taken when I thought the coolling system was ready. It wasn’t!!

Good looking Dart, that color yellow is one you won't forget, I like it. Welcome from Texas.

That power train should motivate her well! Welcome from Canada RJ
 
Time flies! Having some issues in the family (both my own and my wife's parents growing into Alzheimer's desease) I finally got some time again for my patient yellow buddy!
I have the interior done, worked out pretty nice! All parts came with the car, so it was a no-brainer. 4 cans of black paint and done!

The 360 and 727 dropped in yesterday. I was very happy to find a 392 oil pan, no clearance issues.
Next couple of weeks will be spent on my son's new garage floor, it gives me time to figure out wheather to go for A body headers or manifolds. Theres no exhaust yet, so I can go both ways. Hope to find headers, my 360 is pretty strong and revs to 5700 rpm on the B300 headers.. Would be a shame to smother the flow with the manifolds.
Well, that's it for now. Cheers!
 
A very nice looking '73 Dart.
The 360 sounds like it will be a lot of fun!
I would suggest headers if you are starting out fresh.
Do yourself a favor, and get good ones like TTI or Doug's.
You are looking at a lot of money for shipping, so you may as well make the best of it...
 
I've had some TTI's in the past, not really a drop-in fit. I didn't know Doug's. Will look into that! It's half the price and I will propably have to hammer it in anyway.
 
I run Doug's in my duster
Pretty close to a perfect fit...but still not cheap

Then again "goedkoop is duur koop"

Well: Europe is a big country. A guy some 200 miles away wrote that he had some Doug's headers for me. We agreed on it and I received them. Nice pieces, ceramic coated. I don't know if they will fit.... They are A body, but not the 73 A body. Later this day we will try to fit them in. Haha, I did some "duurkoop": let's wait and see if they are good!
