I was able to pick up a Hemi longblock for cheap. It’s a truck engine that had a camshaft failure. Customer decided to put in a new engine so I was able to get the old core engine. Engine was still in great shape - cylinder walls and camshaft bearings look good. My son and I did some cleaning...

Currently working on engine mount fab. Also front suspension rebuild and paint work.

The Dart is still around. Plans changed a lot in the time since my last post. Decided to go Gen 3 Hemi. Lots of part collecting and figuring things out. Trying to keep it a low budget build as much as possible. 2014 5.7 and going to run my 727 trans for now.

Any updates ?

It’s just a stock 5.2 cam. It’s a Magnum so factory roller. My original one had a couple wear spots I didn’t like on a few lobes. I found a guy on Fakebook who built a 390 stroker so I bought his oem cam.

Trying to add pics but they keep showing up turned sideways. Not sure why

My son and I got the Dart turned around in the driveway the other day. Got the front up on jack stands and got the front wheels off. Last night and this morning we worked on getting the front suspension and K-frame removed. Cleaned them real quick with some purple power and the pressure washer.

Cam tool I used.

Old cam bearings removed and new ones installed. Got my new to me camshaft cleaned and installed with some assembly lube. This was my first attempt at cam bearings and everything went great. Bought a cheap Chinese version cam bearing tool off EBay. It did great and held up well. Should last me a...

Then I sprayed those with a couple coats of Mopar Street Hemi orange paint. Very happy with the results so far. ( My son’s favorite color is orange so he is thrilled I told him I didn’t do it for him lol)Next up is cam bearing removal and installation. I ordered the cam tool and bearings. First...

My son and I got the short block fully disassembled. I honed the cylinders cleaned the block with degreaser and hit it with the pressure washer. Then I took the block to work and removed all the casting flash from the lifter valley , thread chased the head bolt threads, main cap bolt threads and...

Thanks Kevin I’m happy with how the first one turned out. Long way to go but wanted to look at something that actually could be completed.

Thanks! Nice work on your car and also your sons

Thanks for the kind words. Awesome car you have there also

They really do make a big difference. Even my family was surprised how much better it made the car look!

Got tired of seeing my Rallies sitting in the corner of the garage. I needed a little visual motivation also. Got one wheel and center cap “ restored” I used paint remover and a scotch brite pad to get the rim to bare metal. Primed both sides and painted the face with Mopar wheel paint...

Man your living the dream ! All the hard work starting to pay off!! What happened to your rallye wheels from the old photo?

Magnum is still going slow. I have been working on cyl heads. Trying to do some porting work so I’ve been doing a little research on that. Picked up the distributor kit and exhaust gaskets so I can make sure I don’t port to far lol.

Yeah it’s my favorite Mopar logo!

Went with my oldest son to Summit today.Cool place. Had a Duster and a Dart on display. Picked up a couple things for my Dart

I’ve been doing good. Working as much as I can. Hoping for a better year this year. Right now I’m super excited to get some work done on the engine for the Dart. Slow progress of course but better than none at all. So happy for you that yours is running. Subscribed to your YouTube channel a...

Got one of the Magnum heads off and started to disassemble and clean. I have been collecting a few small gaskets and parts for the new engine

Getting close. Couple questions for you. What exhaust manifolds are those ? Magnum ? Nice choice on the carb. Did you overhaul it ? And where did you get your factory style hose clamps ? They look great !

No progress on mine. Things are tough right now. Wife is positive for COVID and it has turned into pneumonia. So been trying to take care of her and keeping the house and kids going. Have only been able to work one day since Thanksgiving. Haven’t been on here in awhile but wanted to see how you...

Amazing work. Very happy for you. And everything looks really good. It looks professional with everything coming together.

Looks great. Looks like your drilling out the spot welds ? If so what’s your method ? Great job as always !!!
