Thought you guys might like to see my build AKA the "Rusty Pig" its a 74 Dart with a '10 5.7 with a 6 speed manual. Perhaps it may help a few. I can answer any questions .... I'm still working out the MegaSquirt .... maybe I need some help too.

Sick, I like the wheels. What’s it got for rear differential/gearing? Any interior shots with the 6 speed shifter?

A bunch of us have done build threads on here. Check out the tab for it. Might save you a bunch of grief. They are eclectic in the span of creativity. They go from my home built racers version to concourse beauties. Mine is a bit barbaric but I just do not have the resources to pay folks to do the work. Thus it takes years and years and all solutions are limited by my skill set. The swap was the very edge of my abilities honestly. I made a ton of mistakes.

The Engine and trans are from a '10 Challenger, so it is the TR6060 Magnum with a STX Shifter.
These are the headers I used 70305304-RHKR Hooker headers for Jeep, they now make one similar for Hemi Swaps

Something a little different up front. Don't yell at me but it is a Lexus SC400 subframe and modified suspension.

Now that is thinking outside the box. Looks like a clean/compact install. Nice work!
