    MoparPowa's money hole (66 Dart 5.7 hemi build)

    Alright, lots to discuss... Let's get down to business. I don't have many "in-progress" pictures of the work, I can either take lots of pictures or get lots of work done, I've elected to do the latter. 1. The 200-4R is in and fits very well, much better than I could have hoped. I had to cut...

    MoparPowa's money hole (66 Dart 5.7 hemi build)

    You can say that again, seems just about anything with the early a bodies is an uphill battle. I just keep trying to remind myself, "it'll be worth it, one task at a time." Cost has been a major factor in this build. I, like many do I imagine, greatly underestimated the cost of the hemi...

    MoparPowa's money hole (66 Dart 5.7 hemi build)

    Long story short... 1. I got married last year 2. I deployed overseas earlier this year 3. I "lost" some money (inherited debt) 4. I lost motivation (hard to feel good spending money) All that said, it's time to get back to business. I spent yesterday cutting out the torsion bar...

    PM'd, if I can still be of any help at this point. Yes, updates next week in regards to that. Thanks, I sure hope so, it's taking long enough... Mike, thanks for all of this info. I have shifted gears again, my usual, to trying to make the auto trans work, but I still intend to keep...

    MoparPowa's money hole (66 Dart 5.7 hemi build)

    Well... got the engine in, no transmission currently bolted to it as the adapter plate I bought for the 2004R, in combination with the actual mounting surface of the transmission, hits the firewall. The engine fits VERY tight. I blame Tincup's pictures for somehow making me think that I would...

    MoparPowa's money hole (66 Dart 5.7 hemi build)

    Just realized it's been forever since I've updated this.. Granted I guess I haven't done that much, but I'm tryin'! Got the engine and decided on a transmission after seeing a fellow member take the dive and do something different. Got an empty trans case to make sure I was for sure going with...

    Yes! It's got a few spots but the car has california paperwork in the dash and is ROCK SOLID throughout the entire body, no cancer anywhere. Thanks Scott! No, you have the same tires as me! :-D I haven't driven them yet(obviously), but I am very impressed with how they look and they're...

    MoparPowa's money hole (66 Dart 5.7 hemi build)

    Moving on to the rear suspension... As you can see one of the original owners curbed the car or something and ripped out one of the supports in the passenger's side spring mount that attaches to the rocker. I decided to just cut it out and replace it with a new one from autorust technicians.. I...
