1973 Dart Swinger, 416" stroker, W2's, 4 speed
1973 Dart Swinger. Originally a slant 6/904 car, converted 416" LA/4 speed. Details below.
Engine: 416” (based on ’68 340 block), cast 4” crank, H beam rods, ARP bolts, main caps studded, JE pistons, 9:1 compression, internally balanced. Heads are W2 econo heads, cam is a Comp 258/262 @ .050, 108, 550ish lift solid flat tappet. Moroso pan, Edelbrock torker W2 intake, MSD 6AL Ignition with what I believe is an MP Distributor. New mini starter. Motor was built by a previous owner. Runs great, no smoke, no bad noises, doesn’t leak, pulls strong, sounds great. Recent compression test showed 170-178 psi across all 8.
Fuel System: sumped stock tank, AN lines front to back, Mallory fuel pump to a holley regulator. Carb currently on it is an Edelbrock AVS2 800.
Exhaust: Hedman W2 headers, 3” mandrel bent duals, X pipe, Magnaflow straight through mufflers, exit at the rear.
Trans/Driveline: A833 4 speed, Denny’s driveshaft with 1350 ujoints. Has a SFI bellhousing…not sure which clutch it has. 8 ¾ rear with new 3.55 ring and pinion, new bearings and new seals. Eaton TruTrack and Strange axles, screw in studs. Adjustable pinion snubber.
Suspension/Steering/Brakes: stock front suspension with new ball joints. Super Stock leaf springs. Manual brakes with new Dr. Diff aluminum master cylinder, front disc brakes. Hard lines were replaced by a prior owner at some point, I recently put new rubber lines on all around.
Wheels/Tires: Big bolt pattern steelies, 15x7 rear with new 245/60/15’s and 15x5 with new 205/70/15’s up front. Right rear tire got rubbed on the inside sidewall by ebrake cable (which is irritating since the tires are new!) but still good. Just want to be straight about it. Redline hubcaps.
Body: B1 blue, solid floor and truck. Car was repainted at some point and while not a show quality paint job by any means, it does show very well. Fiberglass 6 pack hood, LW hood springs. Some rust starting at front section of quarters near rocker panels and small spots behind rear wheels. The rear wheel arches were trimmed for tire clearance at some point by a previous owner. Bumpers, emblems, grill, etc all very nice. Car is very straight with the exception of a small dent in the drivers quarter panel (pictured). Has welded subframe connectors.
Interior: Blue with blue/white cloth seats. Very, very nice shape.
Overall, it’s a very nice car that runs great. I bought it a bit over 2 years ago from a friend and have put about 3k cruising miles on it. Body has what is believed to be 45k miles, drivetrain I think has about 5k on it. Runs cool and has been reliable. Just looking to change up the fleet a bit.
Car is located in Rockville, MD, just northwest of Washington, DC. $22,500
