    66 Dart Owners thread

    Very nice cars? Mine is Wall Mart gray presently. The original color was blue. Interior is gone. Saved the chrome strips. I am keeping it the same stock color. Will build the 340 in time...408 or something little bigger. BUT I have a good block to work with. Think using stock part for now will...

    591 days ago!

    So, 591 days ago I joined this group. I purchased a 66 Dart, this is the second Dart I have owned. The first was a Commando 4 speed. From what I gather reading many articles I had my first Dart zinging along! I was in the low low 14 second area and ready to break into the high 13's. I had a 273...

    273 commando cam

    What are the cam specs? I was thinking of a crate motor but the more miles you have on a motor the better to rebuild. 100,000 miles on a crank is great! Are you auto and what gear? Art

    273 Commando

    If you have a Formula S Cuda running good...a 350 Chevy stock would be no sweat. My first 66 Dart would eat up most everything in the 1/8. I ran a 4:89 gear. Heavy springs on the valves will give you 800 more rpm. This is a must do. Use the steel shim head gasket, but paint it first. I used...

    ID 273 Commando that's apart

    Check out www.weriousviewers.com for Mopar small block info. There is a lot of info on small blocks...confusing, but I think this is by design?

    273 commando cam

    This is Art Clark III. I contacted Camcraft about a 273 cam because I obtained a lot of confusing information on the "D" Dart. One bulletin dated April 18, 1966, said the cam was a 284* duration and gave some other numbers, valve open and close but no lift data. And, continued to recommend the...

    273 commando cam

    You can get all the info you need to build just keep trying. I used 1966 Dodge "D" Dart specs and have the entire Dodge information. I had a 66 Dart 4 speed 8 3/4 put in a 4:89 gear, heavy valve springs, weber pressure plate and hot rod clutch, and some carb work. The car ran GOOD. In the 1/8...

    A-bodies.......Big motors

    Love those fender exit headers! Can't wait till I am at that point. Was the 440 a tight fit? Did you need to change any front end parts for the weight?

    I just purchased a 66 Dart auto. It had 273 four barrel on the fender. Thought it would be like the one I had when I was a kid...WRONG! My first 66 Dart had a 273 four barrel 8 3/4 rear end and a 833 four speed. This Dart I just got has a 904 tranny and a 7 1/4 rear end...BUT not for long...

    Well all you big cubic inch guys look out...just got another 273 Dart! Only has a 904 and stock rear end. Just ordered an 8 3/4 rear end and will put a 727 tranny run 4:89 gear. Had one of these with a four speed when I was a kid and it kicked some butt big time in the 1/8 problem in the last 75...

    New to Mopar

    Holly COW! You are pulling the wheels off the ground with a 360 small block? Perhaps you can assist me? When I was a kid I had a 1966 Dodge Dart 273 four speed with the posi 8 3/4 rear end. It was hot, for the day. I put a 4:89 gear and ran M&H ripple wall slicks n the street. Could get away...

    New to Mopar

    Nice car! I had a 66 Dart same set up 273 235 hp four speed. I put Mopar heavy duty valve springs and moved it up from 5200 rpms to 6000. I ran Cyclone fender exit headers, and I then put in a 4:89 gear and ran M&H ripple wall slicks on the street. Left the light at 6000 rpms and I was gone. Had...
