Hey everyone, frustrating afternoon. Finally got enough free time to try and mate the 727 to the 440, and it didn't fit. The Bell Housing stands off about 1/2 - 3/4" from the engine. The Bolt holes line up perfectly, and the Converter is inserted all the way into the Trans input shaft, but...

I need your help guys, I haven't mated the transmission to the motor yet, but was curious if the original Transmission Cross Member (originally a Slant 6 & 904 Tranny) will bolt up to the 727? I've read that they both used the same cross member, but figured I'd ask before I start dropping this...

Hi Guys, just dropped the 440 in the 68 Dart, but trying to figure which Oil Port to connect the gauge to. I have two (different) size holes at the rear of the Engine (above the CAM Cavity. I had assumed there would have been a connection on the Pump (hmm, not the case it seems). Any ideas?

Almost there... the Dart is coming together. I can remember when I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel :). Here's the engine compartment, just a base coat, but will add the final color later. What do you think? Before: After:

I'm getting ready to shoot color on the 68', and am trying to decide a great looking paint schemes. I was thinking about bumble strips across the back trunk lid, and rear quarters. However, before I settle, wanted to see if anyone has done anything different. The car has some great lines, and...

Will a tranny pulled from a 68' 225 Dart bolt to a 69' casting 440 Engine?

I'm trying to weld my Axle Tubes, and yes I'm trying to pinch pennies where I can to help save for that "GAS" that the Dart will eventually be sucking down. Is there a way to get the tubes aligned for welding without spending a small fortune on a Jig? One idea I had was to a length of...

Hey Guys and Gals, Anyone have a suggestion for a suitable replacement for the original Driver Window Door retainer Rivet (that little plastic clip that holds the window to the regulator arm). I have searched hi and low, tried every dealer locally (Pennsylvania), and have had no luck...

Hi and Happy Holidays to everyone, Several Months back, maybe even a year, I had removed the front door glass from the 68'. So getting ready to reassemble, and yep you got it, can't find the @#$%^&%^#$#@@#$%%%, (sorry for the language), Glass Rivets. Those little blue pieces of plastic that...

OK Guys, need your help to figure this one out :)... Bought some SS brake line from Ebay (made in Canada), well looked great when it came in the mail. When I tried to double flare it, I noticed the first flare wasn't taking very well, instead of a nice inward flare, it was just mushroom...

Hope someone can help me. Where can I find these little dowel Pins (that hold the Window to the Regulator inside the Door. I lost the Driver Side, and can't seem to find them locally. Thanks

Guys, Trying to put the Windows back in the Drivers Side, and lost that $**# little blue pastic pin (I guess it's a locking pin) that holds the glass into the regulator arm. Does anyone know where I can buy one? Also, do you have any recommendations on any Silicon or other sealers that I...

Anyone know the axle tube diameter for 8 3/4 Rear? Trying to find mounting plates that will accommodate a 3.25" axle tube. So don't know if the 8 3/4 will do, or if I need plates for a Dana 60. Thanks

Gals, Guys... Putting the Rear in today, and realized that I'm going 4 wheel Disc. So, since the car originally had Drum brakes on all Four wheels, I'm assuming the old prop valve balanced at 50/50, and residual pressure all the way around. Would this valve now provide the same behavior for...

When I bought the 68', the Driver's door had been hit hard. Hard to believe the glass was still in one piece, but the impact ripped out the striker pin. So the body's shop idea of a repair was this So I was wondering, what would be the best way to approach fixing this? Thanks

Hi Guys, I've been priming the Dart, and then it dawned on me that I really didn't know how viable my filters were in the respirator :(. I have a MSA Comfo Classic, with P100 Filters. The respirator is about 5 Years old, but only used for 15 mintues. When I was finished I sealed in a...

Anyone know what the ratio is for the 68' Dart Power Steering box. Seems alittle slow, and was thinking about trying to update to something with alittle faster response and tighter radius. The /6 is pulled, and 440 going in, so not sure if this makes much difference. also want to update...

Anyone ever try the Vinyl paint to update their armrest color to match interior. It seems impossible to find Black Armrests for a 68' Dart. I have Green ones now. So last resort, I'll try and paint them :(

Will a Slant 6 904 Transmission bolt up to a 440 Big Block? I already have a 727 Transmission freshly rebuilt, but am thinking that maybe the 904 may also be an option. Thanks...

What year Steering columns (as models - Scamp, Swinger, Duster, Demon, Etc.) will work in a 68' Dart with Power Steering? Thanks :wav:

I'm doing the same to the 68', putting a floor shifter and console in. She currently has the Auto shifter on the Column, so I was wondering how hard is to take the shifter out, or would it be better to just try and find a new power steering column without the shifter? Thanks

Interesting situation, I'm pulling the 904, and dropping a 727 Trans in, and this will drive the Ford Posi 8.8 Rear. Is anyone running a similar setup? I'm trying to figure out the drive shaft lenght, so I can have the current shaft shortened. Any tips or recommendations on how to measure...

Anyone have any suggestions, pictures, or recommended packages for converting a 68' Dart from a Auto Column to a Floor Shifter. I'm dumping the original bench (which is still in good shape if someone is looking for a resto), Throwing in buckets, and a nice shifter. I'd be interested in reading...

Hey Guys and Gals, Getting ready to drop the 440 in, and I'm wondering what size Radiator will she need. The \6 Radiator seems little small, but she is a 3 Core Radiator. What are you running? Anyone have any overheating issues. :salute:

Hey guys, Just pulled the seats and carpets out of the 68'. I've been worried all Winter, of what I might find. It looks ok, but since I'm not really sure of all the trouble spots to look for, figured I'd come to the experts. Does anyone see anything that jumps out that could potentially...

Are there any upcoming events or show in or around Philadelphia this year?

Does anyone have dimensions, or pictures/diagrams for a A Body Torque boxes? I'm trying to tie together the 68' Dart. She's a /6 today, and a 440 tomorrow. I already have the frame connectors fab'd, but wanted to make sure I do all the chasis mods at the same time, and not have to try and...

This was a pretty good graph, it helped me. So I'm throwing it out there in case anyone else was interested.

Anyone know where I could get a Frame Chart for a 68' Dart? Thanks
