'71 Dart 6.4L swap progress being made!

Traded some texts today with my wiring guy - we're going full steam at finishing up his portion of the project. The DigiTails LED panels came with some really awful documentation (the colors on the diagram didn't match the harness!) When he went to their website to download the PDF instead of the printed copy, he found the error and immediately resolved the issue with the tails not working. I think I'll use the sequential setting on the tails because it looks so cool!

The Classic Auto Air system was apparently quite a bit nicer than the Vintage Air kit (as he's done several installs of those). The only issue was that the bracket to reach the dash didn't align with where the box sits. So it requires a 1.5 inch spacer on a bolt to attach it. I'll probably get a chunk of aluminum made to provide more surface area for the bracket (or a new bracket... it's easily swappable.)

It was nice to see the new harness laid out in the car and roughed in. The battery relocation is going to run down the passenger side through the wiring channel.

The American Autowire upgrade kit for the Dart provides plenty of clearance against the vanity cover (392 HEMI) on the driver's side of the engine - I was pleasantly surprised! The fuel pressure sensor is going to require an additional 90 degree adapter to allow it to tuck under the passenger side engine cover. The rest of the wiring is definitely looking like it'll hide down the middle, and will give the bay a pretty clean apparance.

The car must have had a water leak in its lifetime (gonna have to track THAT down...) because there's rust on the lip of the bottom of the dash. In the interim, I'll have to do some evaporust or rust converter and see if I can match the paint (good luck, right??)

Anyway - wanted to provide an update after several months of inactivity. The project is still on track for spring-ish. After wiring, final plumbing, first fire in the car (I will DEFINITELY have a video of that), and then off to exhaust and frame welding.

I think I'm still on track to debut the car at Mopars in the Park, but I don't want to jinx things.
