Newbie from Holland
Hi guys (and girls if there are any here),
I'm Alain (pronounced Allan) and came across this board when I was just surfing the net for info on Darts.
I have owned a '69 Dart since 1998 and have had heaps of fun with it. It had a 318-4bbl, though it was originally a 273 car. It was imported into Holland from Monrovia (CA) in 1997 by a good friend of mine.
It has been sitting apart since Feb 2003 because I decided to put a twin turbo motor in it. One thing lead to another and what was originally supposed to be a 1 year project, has turned into a just about never ending story. In the meantime I have however had a lot of work on a house I'm renovating, so for a period of 3 years I hadn't done any work on the Dart.
This year I hope to get her running again for the first time in 7 years. Some of the specs on my Dart:
318ci, twin Garrett GT32's, Transgo equipped 727 with Alto red's and Kolene steels, 4 link rear, mini-tubbed, beefed up 10-bolt with 3.73 and posi (yeah I know, it's a Chevy rear - but ran into it), Autronic SM2 (1.93 chip set) ECU for the multipoint injection, Edelbrock Super Victor EFI intake, Edelbrock RPM heads (ported by Hensley Racing), Custom 8.0:1 Ross Forged Racing pistons, custom grind Comp Cams roller cam, Crane Gold Race Roller Rockers, 273 forged crank, Eagle ESP-3D H-beam rods and ARP studs throughout.
I did all the fabwork myself (stainless steel turbo headers, 4 link, tubs, sub frame connectors, etc.) and built the Engine and Trans too.
Here are some pics:
Later,
