lookd like FK5 paint on that car.. its an awesome color all cleaned up. don't see many customs but it really doesn't increase value because its just a trim package. could be a cool car though so grab it as cheap as you can and run with it..
i like this one more. in the end it will always worth more then the 75 in the same shape. i'm not seeing a car worth 9k though.. 6-7k max in my opinion and that may be pushing it after i looked at it in person. salvage title kills value for me too..
looks nice but i'd have to pass...
Lots of people are building cars these days for drivability and mpg.
Don’t like the ls swap then don’t open the thread. It’s a good proven swap and cost effective as far as modern engines go.
for me i'd go in thinking keep it original.. then i'd drive it for a bit and be bored out of my mind with how much of a pig it is and have to put a v8 in the thing..
exactly what happened with our original paint 70 dart... :)
So from what I remember from all the different threads in various forums and on this subject in 68 the 340 was red. In 69 red and turquoise. Could have been a plant thing or mid year thing. Who knows. In 70 they went orange and then blue in what was it 72?
biggest problem doing a v8 swap is getting the v8 push button trans.. after that its cake...
motor mounts you can buy new if ya can't find used ones..
exhaust manifolds pop up all the time for early abodies
v8 center links pop up on a regular basis too..
if you are pulling the engine then...
i did it all but the headers... dropping the motor and trans in is cake.. pretty much bolt in deal really. they make motor mounts now and to get the trans in you just need to clearance the firewall to floor seam some... i had about $1200 in to the headers though. and that was the mid 90's..
Yea my mounts were custom made. Used cbody brackets and some box steal. Was lucky with how it sit and the custom headers I could run all my stock heater stuff and the 73-up master cyl.
mine sat just high enough for the oil pump and filter to clear the k-frame without notching the k-frame..
if i build another i'd probably notch the k-frame some and sit the engine a little more level.
