64 Dart 5.7 hemi update thread.
OK, this guy did have this set for close to $500 about 2 years ago, but now its over $700. It looks complete http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/37-P...62QQcategoryZ10076QQihZ016QQitemZ260112382118
I saved him in my sellers list. Im not sure if thats complete, but its a good start. Finding the right donor car is important. It needs to be a car that runs good with good electrical inurds. I need to be able to just swap the engine and trans, all electrical harnesses, and maybe a good gas tank. I guess if I needed to clean the gas tank out and get a new sending unit, that wouldnt be too bad.
I dont know, I just dont want my car to sit idle, covered up for years, which may happen if if I get too involved with other things. Finding a good donor car would really change things for the good. Im mean, it may look abit strange with primer gray paint and super nice wheels and bumpers, but at least Id be driving it around and enjoying, which would keep it in the light and on my mind.
The 5.7 hemi swap in still the goal, but just isnt realistic right now. Im set up for it in the enginebay, so later down the road I wont have to modify anything.
When I was in Colorado last year with my wife, kids and inlaws waiting on my mother Inlaw to mail someone a gift (dont ask), a lady pulls up in this 4 door that needed some work. I got out and took the following pics. While taking the pics, I thought how cool it was she was using this car to run up to the post office. I also realised even though she hadnt dump alot of money into her car, her dart was still on the road while mine was in the garage on stands.
The only regret I have about buying my 64 convertible is the fact that I never got to drive it.
