I agree, the front mounted external oil cooler, grille and mirrors are just goofy. Spoiler and lights could be less for more. Non-matching engine bay? Overall bones of the build is great, it's the details that throws it for me.

I have a 2015, with 2.0 and 6 speed manual, that has "blipped" on me 6 times in as many weeks. Blipped = dash flash, and slightest engine flutter. I wouldn't even call it a stutter. They just replaced the thermostat under warranty, but could not account or replicate the blip. It is on...

I am taking my 1976 Dart, and building a 1970's type Super Stock clone. I have 15 x 3.5 front and 15 x 14 Cragar Super Trick wheels. I have a 383 that is going in, with a single carb tunnel ram intake. I will cut down 8.75 C body axle, and it will have very mild gears. I haven't decided on...

If you were starting from scratch, some form of torque BB would win. Taking into account the value of what you already have, I say stick to small block.

I would look at Scarebird.com They make the brackets, and provide you a parts list of what parts you need to complete it. Much of this area is custom by nature. Someone like yourself, custom building to match their budget and application. I would think one of the better OEM applications...

Yeah, I screwed up the "forgiveness / permission" thing a long time ago. We discuss everything.

Not the best pics.

Why are you parting out that car? Is it worth my time?

Wish me luck, gotta get it by the wife next. Bills are tonight, so we will see....

I guess I need to clarify... Not a second set of springs, but spring perches. He said the rear end had been swapped out of an "old coupe", so maybe it was thrown into something else? How much wider is B or E body 8.75 then A body? It does not have any frame rust, I crawled around under it...

I will grab pics tonight, they got deleted off my phone... Car is for sale locally. Work changed, shorter commute, got the itch for a hot rod to drive. 74-75 Duster The good: 360, Edelbrock 4 bbl, Mopar Performance finned valve covers 727 Auto 8.75 big bolt pattern disc brakes Extra doors...

I have always thought the 71-74 Charger platform would be sweet for a CTD swap. All that room between the grill and core support!!!

It has a powerglide, and Ford 8.8 disc brake rear. http://www.theturboforums.com/smf/the-builds-board-hall-of-fame-builds/who-can-i-piss-off-the-most-(-1975-dodge-dart-swinger-build-)/ I personally dig it. I wish it had a better sound to it, but overall, huge numbers. I can only...

Ok, then I am on the right track. Thanks for the input guys.

Father in law passed away around the first of the year. Son went through and took a few, left me the rest. Old boy was a mechanic back in the day, had a lot of stuff, much of it quality Made in USA stuff, in several quantites of each. I have some Craftsman stuff, but much is Made in China...

Load distribution setup on the trailer itself, but its expensive. Air bag or a Timbren (if available) work great for temporary suspension beefing, while not affecting the day to day behaviors. A rear sway bar would help all the way across the board.

Secondary mother's house. Currently for sale, but exterior paint is terrible, so I am going to pressure wash and paint. Small house. What color would be best to brighten curb appeal?

I agree with Prine, go with the 400 B block. Commit to it and go. If it does not make it to where you want to go, it is (relatively speaking) a budget build. If it doesn't meet the goals, but still puts up some stoopid times, I am sure it could be sold, recoup some of your investment, and go...

Freek, I thought you had disappeared off the scene?

I'm with him.

I couldn't get the primer picture to attach correctly for some reason. They are working on a kit car via molds made from the origional car....

I saw a back cover photo in a Mopar magazine talking about this car. I decided to do some research on it last night. Mopar had a killer shape with this car....I envision with an SRT-4 drivetrain, modern wheels, killer paint. Here is the site dedicated to the restoration, kit car potential...

It's beautiful, but how did he manage to spend 6,800 on brakes, suspension, wheels and tires??

I have seen them in bread and box trucks too. I also agree, it is cheaper to buy the whole thing...

What did you use for finish on the valve covers and intake? They look great!!

I would make sure your lower link bushings are good. Death wobble is sometimes a caster issue. Think about the front wheels of a grocery cart. Imagine them running down the highway at 70 MPG. The lift kit manufacturers usually suggest the lower links to correct caster, to minimize the...

I long to track down the 1974 Dart Sport I grew up in. Mom sold it before I started driving :( sold out of Kansas City, it was 74 Dart Sport, 360, 4 speed car, with power brakes, manual steering, all black interior, with solid bench. It was chocolate brown when sold to a little old lady who...

I like the Direct Connection valve covers idea. I have 15x4 and 15x14 Cragar Super Tricks, so that is what I will be running, trying to decide if I polish, brush, or powdercoat the wheels.

Trying to decide if I want to go more modern Pro Street or vintage 70's Pro Stock on my Colt build. Car is going to have the following: Cragar Super Trick wheels, tubbed, running 383 big block, with single 4 tunnel ran, and a scoop of some sort, either open, or mailbox, or functional butterfly...
