    Getting ready to swap a 5.7 into my 73 Dart Swinger

    It's been quite awhile since I've been on here, and I haven't done anything else since I dropped my motor in. I was just checking in to see if you had started your project like this, and what your findings were? I will be looking into getting more parts probably after the first of the year -...

    Getting ready to swap a 5.7 into my 73 Dart Swinger

    Here are some pictures of the installation I did a few weeks ago. I don’t have the harness hooked up yet as you can see it draped off to the side. I had to cut out my transmission tunnel for the NAG-1 to fit, but I haven’t built a new transmission mount yet. For some of you following along I...

    Getting ready to swap a 5.7 into my 73 Dart Swinger

    Well, my findings with this swap are that free time is a must haha! What was once going to be a start date in a couple weeks has now turned into a year later...It had been a long time since I had got on here, and now that I'm going to start on it this weekend, I figured I'd look to see if there...

    Getting ready to swap a 5.7 into my 73 Dart Swinger

    I don't have the original TF-904 that was in the car with the 318. I got rid of them as a package deal a few years ago to get the car/pocket book ready for this swap. So, I'll be going with the new transmission. I do have the little 7 1/4 rear end that I will run for awhile (probably until it...

    Getting ready to swap a 5.7 into my 73 Dart Swinger

    Hey thanks a lot for all the advice. Looks like things are coming right along for your project. Looks good. My car never had AC. I may put it in, but that'll be years down the road. I gotta get it running again, and make that be one of the last things on the list. I actually just sent my order...

    Getting ready to swap a 5.7 into my 73 Dart Swinger

    Thanks a lot for the info! I'm quickly realizing that there were a little more smoke and mirrors involved this swap than what I had anticipated lol. I am still set to start on this in about 3 weeks though. What about a driveline? Someone said earlier that you have to use a custom driveline? I...

    Getting ready to swap a 5.7 into my 73 Dart Swinger

    As far as the manifolds go, I was reading an article from Hot Rod from 2009, and they say that if money or clearance is tight you could keep the stock manifolds. The TTI headers are a must evidently to make everything fit? What about power steering? I keep seeing mixed reports on that as well...

    Getting ready to swap a 5.7 into my 73 Dart Swinger

    Yes, my plan is to keep as much of the 1973ness of the car as possible. Just excited to be able to turn the key, and have a quick, reliable car

    Getting ready to swap a 5.7 into my 73 Dart Swinger

    Hi all, I'm very new to the site, but wanted to rack as many brains as possible for some advice with this. I yanked out my old worn out 318 3 years ago and waited for a good deal that i could get the whole package from one car. I was able to get a 5.7 and the auto trans out of a 2013 Challenger...
