Mine is a hughes 426 kit. K1 crank and rods. Diamond pistons. If you want to do it right spend the extra few bucks on the good stuff. Mine dynoed at 563hp 540ft lbs. I've been playing with combos and this seems to be best.

Wow!

Better work with alterK because that's what it's going in.

Looks bad *** congratulations man you deserve it.

Thanks joe you covered all of my questions. It's hard finding wrecked SRT cars out here in Cali. My car is heavily modified with RMS suspension and reworked engine compartment. Thanks again for the insight I appreciate the info.

I'm contemplating going the 392 route in my 65 dart but I'm a little intimidated by the electrical aspect of it. Are there stand alone ecu's that simplify it with the tranny etc? Sorry if this is a stupid question because its either 392 or finish my 408 but the 392 reliability appeals to me a...

Having a trained eye to see what most people think is a perfect finish is way different than what I see. I agree all bodywork no matter what should be done properly but some color hues can hide imperfections. Ill post pictures of the trunklid I just sprayed and I guarantee 95 percent of people...

Nice build! I'm in the Fairfield area so I'm looking forward to seeing you at some local Bay Area shows. The blue on my hardtop is a beautiful color. It's like an indigo blue pearl. It looks good on some cars and not as good on most. It will be at the next goodguys show in the pleasonton in the...

Good luck finding a cheap 6.1 not going to happen unless you get real lucky. 5.7 can be stroked to run real well. It's all about how deep your pockets are and if you have the mechanical skill to do the work yourself. If you farm a swap like that out, first you'll have to find someone who knows...

Man! That was cheap! Don't feel bad, sold mine for 8 and it was perfect.

Yea my alpine was a 67 and had a turbo svo motor out of a mustang. Ran real hard for a 4 banger but I could never seem to out run my dads tiger. People always say that they put a 273 in the tiger but that is completely false. I know more about the history of tigers and actually had the honor of...

Yea I miss my little alpine a lot. Still got the tiger if I want to go out and blow the doors off of most of the stuff on the road. I would love to have your car though, who wouldn't! I'm like you though, half the fun of having a car like yours is the build and being able to take credit for all...

I've always been into sunbeams since I was a kid. My dad still has his 65 mk1 tiger and I had a SVO powered 67 Alpine that I wish I never sold that was way cool. I'm thinking when the dart is done to find another alpine and do something trick to it. The Volvo is a unique idea and I know where a...

They make different mounts for the alter-k for the hemi. Just have to swap them out. Still not sure what route I want to go. Probably just stick with the sb and make it wicked. By the time I'm done with the 6.1 I'll have 8 grand or better in it for sure. Just hate to get a motor and tranny out...

Thanks guys appreciate it. Saw a few on eBay but seemed a bit steep. Passed one up at goodguys show for 4,500 complete and my stupid *** passed it up!

Just decided to go 6.1 in my 65 Dart. Got RMS K in it. What's the best place to find engine/tranny to drop in? Copart? I'm having a hard time finding something decent.

Are you F-ING serious! Some people have no appreciation for the amount of work it takes to build a car like that. I'll be hitting you up about those hood hinges here shortly. Thanks for the good pictures.

Amy Lynn is the hooker that works that alley. Duh!!! Ha! J/k

Motivates me even more to get mine done and FINALLY someone who does stuff himself and not farming everything out because they are too afraid to try something new even if they fail!!! Hats off to you man
