Yea I agree. Eventually I am trying to get to twin turbo but the dollars are not there right now.

The Trans is a standard small block 727. I just mean that instead of having all of the linkage to use the column shift, I found a kit that allows you to use the column shifter without all of the linkage.

I've been searching for a few hours now and I cant seem to find a great answer. Have a 71 Dart swinger, 273 with larger port heads on it. Power steering is stock and I'm trying to maintain column shift. Its a 727 trans and I will have to use an adapter to cable style. Its a conversion car so /6...

Update!! So the engine has been run and broke in!! My final intake is not quite done but was able to install an intake to run it. I have the Dyno sheet.......Any guesses what she made all motor? Good news is it didn't explode. He also made mention that it was one of the smoother motors he has...

Well here we go! I couldn't wait anymore. Had a big car show this past weekend and I drove it down. It had an exhaust leak and the breaks got hot and started dragging. I couldn't take it anymore. Had the morning available so My father in law and I started pulling her apart! Now I just hope the...

I think its hard for people to understand why i don't want to buy a crate 408 and take the path of least resistance to 500hp. This car I want to do as much of the work as I possibly can. Its been my goal since I purchased it. I wanted to build the motor, rear, interior. Do the swap, build the...

Truth be told, I am a Turbo guy. Turbo Diesel, Turbo Volkswagen, Makes sense to have a turbo Dart! So I may have been looking for an excuse to make it harder! lol

LOVE THIS! Ill make you a deal... Ill build it safe, But I cant promise the driving it safe part!

So TRUE!!!!

I agree. I will be working a lot on the suspension to make sure she doesn't just smoke tires!

You have some very vivid dreams!! You and I are not far off on the purpose. I want the car to be fast from 0-100. I could care less what the 1/4 number is. This is a fun street car. light to light car. therefore the turbos come in quick. At least that is what I'm shooting for. Thanks for the...

I get it......I just cant be the guy that does the same thing EVERYONE else does. I work my *** off to keep three kids and the wife happy. This is my happy. I enjoy the weird and funky. Ive been told at least 100 times I could have spent less and had more power....... To me its really not about...

Alot of where my head is at for turbos. I do want to inter cool it just not sure how I want to do it yet. Thanks for the tip on the parts!

I get it. My whole thought it that I need/want the thing to be drive able. And I rode in a centrifugal supercharged car and it felt a lot like a turbo car as far as lag. I thought it would be more like a roots type. So I decided that if I was going to have the lag I would steal less power and...

I haven't gotten into picking to much of the turbo stuff yet. Loosely planning on two wastegates and one blowoff. Not 100% sure on intercooler. I definitely want one but I haven't started playing with how/where. Thought about a water to air setup. Will be fuel injected. I have a Fast sportsman...

We did come up with a solution. I will have pictures once its done!

I have actually switched gears and am planning to do twin turbos. I am using factory magnum manifolds and am going to do the pipe fab myself. For now though I am just working on getting the car swapped and running NA. Thanks for the interest!

Oh man!! Yes sir!!

I have thought about it for sure. But that will be future plans. I want to get it up and running first! Stay tuned!!

This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you! The rear spring perches were indeed slotted! I cut them off and moved the new ones in to 42 to account for the dr diff offset shackles. I have a set of high offset 15 inch wheels from a pickup that I am currently running with spacers. This rear...

The rear already is going to convert me to a BBP in the rear. Then the front will be converted when I do the Willwood kit.

I really feel like the rear 11" setup is all B body stuff just need to confirm 2.5 or 3" setup. After digging around in some pictures I am fairly confident its a 2.5 set up. So that is easy. The rear is a BBP rear so I don't need to change anything just a quick rebuild. Are you saying to...

More Pics. Had to move the spring perches. So I bumped them over another 1/2 inch so I could squeeze the most i could out of the rear tire area. Ordered a shackle kit from Dr. Diff.

Man when I get this thing on the road its going to feel so freaking good. Been a fun time though. My first real build from start to finish. And for sure the farthest i have ever ventured into a build. Really cool learning though. Here are some pictures to show more progress.

This is going to get confusing so stay with me. I have a 71 Dart Swinger with a /6 and a 7 1/4 rear. Drum Brakes all around. I'm upgrading the complete drive train and swapping in an 8 3/4 Sure grip. I bought the rear second hand. It was installed in a Barracuda so I thought it was an a body...

Slowly creeping up on this thing. Engine is done. Its at the shop getting the freaking Intake milled to fit since we messed with the deck height. Then it will go on the engine dyno and get broke in and run. once I get it back I am ready to get the swapping!! been busy getting the rest of the...

The problem is that these heads have the bolt pattern for a Newer magnum valve cover and share the magnum rocker assembly.

No those are the original ones i used for paint. The new ones are supposed to be for Magnum but the bolt holes are off by a bit.
