I have heard of this, what engine is used in the Barreiros dart??

I have a friend that has one of these he is thinking about selling and I am tempted to add it to my collection

I’ll have to get pictures but it evidently involves a cutting torch in some spots underneath to clear the oil pan

I actually just purchased this car last month. I just posted some more pics in another thread, as I own an original Diesel Dart as well. I believe this one was swapped at some point but it actually came out of a museum’s collection

They all seem to be mated to 727 torqueflites. I have two airport tugs with the same engine/trans combos. So all together, I have 4 complete sd33 Nissan diesels mated to 727 Torgueflites. Along with my spare parts engines I have

Hey there! Been a long time since I have posted in here. Well I posted a long time ago about my 1974 Dodge Dart Custom 4 Door w/ a dealer optioned Nissan SD33 straight 6 diesel. Just picked up ANOTHER 74 Diesel. This one is a Plymouth Duster with the same SD33 Diesel. I’m very excited to clean...

Well a little update on the diesel dart, I recently took it to a car show (it’s first official show that wasn’t a tractor show) and I was very excited to hear that I had won a trophy for my dart. There were so many other beautiful cars there and the engine bay on mine was so dirty compared to...

I have never seen that article, that's actually really cool to see that info. How did you find this? I have newspaper ads and info from the dealer back in the day and I'd love to find more, thank you

Thank you! And I always that it would be awesome to plop a 4bt in a dart, more power and you can still pull awesome mileage out of them. Should send me some pics once you get it all together!

It's funny your co-worker had to deal with that, I have had that happen so many times, especially since I'm young, so people assume I'm young and dumb and putting the wrong fuel in, I actually put a big DIESEL sticker on the back window to help with that haha I still get the occasional confused...

That's awesome. I've loved hearing about the different conversions people have done, the motors are definitely slugs but equally unique. There's a company called Wilcap owned by Tony Capanna back in the day, and it seems to me that he actually came up with the idea of putting those diesels in...

Yeah I'd love to take it to a real car show, so far I've only taken it to our local tractor show, and it sure brought a crowd

It's funny you mention airport tugs, because we actually have one of those as well. It's a jeep CJ10a powered by none other than the same sd33 diesel that's in my dart, and it is also hooked up to the 727 torqueflite. We use it as a farm truck, originally a 2wd we extended the bed and set it up...

On average about 30 mpg

I guess originally it was used as a mail delivery car, and after that it sat. When I got it, it had a plate over the hole to seal it, so I found the spot light and installed it because i figured at one point it had had one

Yes there are times I would love to, the only reason I haven't is because I wanted to keep it original, but it would definitely be nice to cook down the road a lil faster and easier

The diesel scouts were hooked to four speeds not automatics though, so finding one is incredibly difficult, I've only found two autos hooked to the sd33

Here are some more pics. The carpet was beginning to fall apart so, living on a farm, I actually bed-lined the floor to make dealing with mud and hay easier. I know avid dart and car enthusiasts in general probably don't appreciate that but it works well. I also straight piped it and dumped it...

Yes that is correct, and here is a pic of the adapter plate for the bell housing, this was actually from last year, the flex plate had blown up and not being able to find the correct one, I ended up welding it back together. As to where to find an adapter plate, I wish I knew, I purchased 2...

Haha yes, that car and I enjoy a bit of shooting from time to time And thank you

New to the forum but I have been wanting to get the knowledge out about my dart. I had seen past posts questioning the diesel dart's legitimacy as to being a dealer installation. My dart is a 1974 4 door dart custom with the SD33 straight six naturally aspirated diesel hooked up to the 727...
