    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    That's what I'm thinking as well! I've also got a 92mm TB... My diesel moves way more air than this engine ever will and the intake elbow and grid heater is way more restrictive than this 92mm throttle body will be at 90% open. Mike

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Here's a question for you all.... Does the throttle body blade have to be 100% flat to maximize airflow? I'm sure the megasquirt has a calibration for 0-100% throttle no matter where the valve ends up at. I'm pretty sure with a slight adjustment I can get the throttle body valve to slightly...

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Got a bracket ordered from Jegs. Should allow me to copy SRT8Cudas linkage. Modified my pedal again today. The cable was kinking a bit with a poor mockup so will secure it better and improve the routing when the bracket shows up. I can’t stand a sticky pedal motion so hoping this gets it right.

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    110% jinxed myself. Got throttle cable installed on pedal side, I ran the attachment a little higher than factory to try and get more travel out of it. But factory pedal travel only opens the LS cable throttle body maybe 50%. With the extra travel needed I dont know that modifying the pedal...

    Ran out of time today but looking at this radiator package. Gotta measure and see if it’ll actually fit. But the combination fans and radiator with correct mounting brackets make it a fairly decent value. 66-74 A,B,C, E Body 17x26 Auto Aluminum Performance Radiator Got a decent plant for the...

    Nothing fancy but I managed to modify my throttle pedal to accept the LS cable attachment today. Hope to fab up the bracket for the throttle body side tomorrow.

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    I have my engine as far back as possible. Tight enough that I can't run the factory SRV module on the back of the SRT8 intake, had to run the MMX block off plate. With the engine this far back, it BARELY clears the power rack and pinion, like 1/8" clearance.... No other interference other...

    Thank you! I’m on the hunt for a radiator and electric fan suggestion at the moment. Not sure If I need an oil cooler but don’t think I do.?

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Got fuel lines buttoned up, power steering lines done, and got a plan for throttle pedal. Going to modify the factory pedal to accept the LS cable attachment. Also got hydraulic clutch bled and working great. Sure is nice to sit in the drivers seat a pump the clutch and shift through the gear...

    That looks great!! I hear you on the side to side support the factory stuff just ain’t meant for the corners! Few more things about wrapped up. Got battery tray welded in the trunk. Will finish up fuel lines tomorrow minus a few fittings that won’t show until next week. The hydraulic clutch...

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Oh yeah if you look you’ll see I made a mount bracket to mount the clutch MC reservoir off the brake MC. Didn’t want to drill holes in the firewall. Waiting on a 180* 4AN fitting and a new 48” throttle cable from jegs so I can finish up my pedals. Then I’ll finish fuel lines and get my battery...

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Well I pulled off the SRT8 intake and put the 6.1 intake in place (no pic sorry). Long story short I’m not going to use it (for now). The LS throttle body hits the the Holley front accessory cover housing, I could mill it and get clearance, BUT I can’t use my “392 Hemi” valve covers (oil fill...

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Passengers side is in. More difficult in the fact that the seat base is 2” taller than the drivers side. Little tedious to get it right but happy with the fit.

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Got the drivers seat mount fabricated. Dropped the Procar brakes down in the front 1.25” to get the seat angle right, and fabricated brackets off the factory seat braces to fit to some Universal Sparco slider frames I bought off summit. Turned out great. I should finish up passenger side on...

    Ah okay that makes perfect sense now. I was assuming they would utilize the same outside holes with me needing to drill through for two new inside holes not using all 4 new holes. Thanks! Mike @ HCA

    Not sure what rules Procar is playing by but if this is a $91 vehicle specific “adapter” color me unimpressed. Website said both were in stock (driver and passenger side). Just received a box with no invoice or product ID and only one adapter. Clearly the wrong one…. Just called, talked to a...

    That’s such a sweet ride! I was going to ask what your tire width was but see it’s there! I’m hoping with the 315’s and 3:55’s that I wont have toooo many traction issues on the low end lol We’ll see what I end up doing. Seller of intake seems motivated but won’t go below $450 and it’s about a...

    Your thoughts echo my own! Part of me just wants it for aesthetics ha That 6.1 Intake just looks so legit though it’s gotta add at least 20hp ;) Seriously though in a 3200ish lb car I don’t think the 6.4 is going to be struggling down low with a 4 spd manual… Mike

    '70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

    Here’s a question for you. I’ve done all the google searching… since I’m not running the SRV valve on the 6.4Intake, how would a 6.1 intake compare straight up? There’s one for sale locally to me… Everything I’ve read says the SRT8 intake is better but that is due to the the SRV function...

    I ordered the drop spindles with the K member kit from Hemi Denny. He was great and swapped them out for standards when I requested it even after a year later. They’re just mustang 2 spindles so I think they’re fairly easily found

    It’s been awhile, life sure got busy the last 3 months! Coming up on 2 year anniversary of starting this build. Haven’t had much time at all to work on the car but got a few things done. Got my new shifter from brewers and installed, picked up a set of “392 hemi” valve covers, replaced the 2”...

    Deals can still be had.

    Nice find! There’s a free 360 shortblock on craigslist right now that the owner dropped one of the new pistons for so it needs a piston. I thought about it but don’t need to clutter the work shop anymore!
