No tags on the rear end, appears to be a 9 bolt 7 1/4...someone's been in there, maybe they changed to a better gear at some point. Guess I'll have to pull it apart and see what's in there.

Waiting on confirmation now of gearing...

Well, that was fun to read...now back to where this topic has morphed - building this 318. I have a 318 with 675 casting heads. I tore it down and the block seems good, no bore taper, only one questionable area on cylinder 3. Mains are 10 over, but rods seem to all be stock size and measured...

I have a 67 273 now...you saying go with the sealed power pistons and my stock heads (freshened up of course) would work well? Also, the 273 vs. 318 crank snout and relationship to my 904 trans...I'd be best running my 273 forged crank in the 318, no?

Yeah just a fun cruiser. The KB 167 pistons seem to fit the bill for a great price...

Well, I think we've decided on a 318. Now to work up a combo that works for us. Time to do some more reading.

Never mentioned one. Don't really have one really, but I'm sure a mid range 360 build would be absolutely sufficient...

Great ideas and suggestions, I didn't think to list intentions. Basically we want the car to be reliable, quick, able to stop and steer safely, and have more power than the 273. Not looking for a drag car, or a street racing car, but a fun street car with the balls to tote the mail if needed...

I wondered about that...we just got done building a turbo LS3 in a Caprice PPV recently with a friend, and had a lot of fun with the turbo. Surely the freshened up little 273 could hold a few pounds of boost....not to mention how cool it would be!

The car has been sitting in my garage for 3 years and driven monthly while waiting on parts to do the body/interior all at once. Plan is to start engine when the car leaves for body, so that it's ready when the body/interior is done, or shortly thereafter.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. I truly appreciate it. I know there's more research to be done, which is why I'm here after all. I made this post in hopes of clearing some things up on one post. The more I read the more I'm confused with options. As far as budget, there isn't one in mind...

Have a '67 Dart GT 2 door hardtop that my father and I are about to get back to working on. I already added power brakes and power steering and rebuilt the front end. Added Cragar 14" SS wheels and air shocks in the back. I've gathered all new parts to redo the interior and even found all the...

Just wanted to share some quick pics of a quick restoration/touch-up I've done to my dad's 67 Dart GT. Car came from California with 3 colors of paint under the hood, and very neglected. All of this was done with the engine in the car, with some clever masking. Lots of parts...

Bump?

Just read Testor's black enamel model paint....seems brushing it in there would be awfully tedious.

Stuck on how to proceed with this. Car is 67 Dart GT 2 door H/T Have new headlight bezels to replace damaged originals, and the recesses in the parts are black, as original I assume. Pic of new bezel: The end goal is to have it look like this: So, any advice on painting/polishing...

Closer than you think. This car's home is on Wadmalaw, where my dad grew up, and raised me. Right now it's at my house in West Ashley getting worked on! More about myself....I'm an instructor for Boeing, been wrenching all of my life on a little bit of everything. Have finished a build...

Thanks! Not the factory color (white, which his was as well in the late 60's), and the engine bay is not painted, but we'll get her all fixed back up factory.

New guy here, in Charleston, SC. Currently working on my dad's '67 Dart GT 2 door hardtop. He's a member here, by the name of Les. He had one when he was young, and had to sell. For my parents' 40th wedding anniversary he was gifted another. Car came from California and has been in work...
