    Early A-body Forum - Last call

    As you may know, I decided to close the Early A-body Forum due to inactivity. It was however a very vibrant site at one point with TONS of good information. It's all available as a static downloadable html file, so download it if you wish to scan through it for information. Early A-Body Forum...

    Early A-body Forum is now closed

    Thanks everyone (1700+ people) that had joined the site since 2001, but it fizzled out and nobody was using the site. I bet most of you reading this don't even know if existed! Your lack of interest made me lose interest as well and battling the software quirks, which went out of business a...

    My new '75 Dart Sport

    I found it about 6 hours away, dragged it home. The seller didn't think it had a motor/tranny and she said "you could stick a big 427 in it, that's what everyone is doing these days". Turns out there was a motor, but then she wouldn't budge on the price after we found that out! It was her...

    I have my eye on a car for sale in Boston, a '66 Dart. Anyone there that would be willing to go check it out for me? I have only some photos and the current owners opinion about it, and they are not car people so they don't really know what to tell me.

    Can you identify these motor mounts?

    Is this a slant 6 K-frame with 318 mounts, with a homemade piece on the passenger side? The motor seems to sit crooked and I think these mounts are the problem. I'm thinking the schumacher slant 6 to V8 kit is what I need, right?
