    Looking at a 1965 Dart 270 Convertible - Questions

    Good looking car, take a close look at the clutch pedal, looks bent to the left, look for play and cracking, next, gas pedal is not from 65 looks like later 60-70s, bring a flashlight, and you want to get under it to inspect for rust, hope it's clean and works for you to enjoy.

    Kevko Pan clearance problem

    I have installed the brackets on incorrect side before after the project has been apart too long, many moons ago, sometimes we remember thing when it's done incorrectly, so I think you're in good company.

    Kevko Pan clearance problem

    This is the bracket used on the passenger (right side). I was fitting the 5.9 in a 64 Dart with the Magnum manifolds. I have not welded the mount bracket for the 3rd bolt yet in the picture. Everything is tight and I had to slightly dimple the Mildon pan at the steering center link for hard left...

    Donor for 63 dart GT

    You can upgrade you brake system front and rear with master cylinder. Do you know what rear end is in it? is it a 3 or 4 speed?

    Donor for 63 dart GT

    Question does your Dart have a clutch pedal? Are you buying the complete car? It may have better brakes front and rear, possible disc with larger bolt pattern? All parts will bolt in, you will have to use your engine and trans mounts & brackets and possible other things, just need more info to...

    Console placement

    Yes, the console is for a 65 and it will fit, I have seen others install aftermarket shifters under them, but I would wait on making the brackets to hold the console till you fit the shifter under it. It will look great.

    273 or 225?

    You could grab all the parts for the V8 changeover now and keep them around till you run the numbers to rebuild the /6 or find a running magnum 5.2 or 5.9, you will get many responses to help you chose.

    64 Dart ground set up

    I put ground strap from back of cylinder head to wiper motor stud 67-up or blower motor stud on early a body. I reuse ground wire from Ram trucks due to nice coating and length.

    early A body engine swap

    Post # 9 has information on a kit to get & post # 43 shows some left side bracket and mounts. Your brackets possibly look, correct? aftermarket kits, brackets & mounts could be different size then factory parts but have the correct total size. You need to get measurements and compare.

    early A body engine swap

    The trans mount looks correct for 64-66, rubber is cracking not sure if split through, you will have to check. rear leaf spring front location looks stock. Time for testing, install the thicker insulator & check for clearance and driveline angle. If pipe is hitting frame, you have a few choices...

    early A body engine swap

    GunslingerFIN, The thicker mount is correct for the 64-66 a-body if you use the thinner mount, it can change the driveline angel depending on other modifications performed to install drivetrain and can cause header contact to frame. Now it's time to look at other areas, trans mount looks...

    early A body engine swap

    The locking tabs did not have rubber. Just my thoughts you don't need rubber on the tabs due to the fact they only touch when the mount tears and they are a safety catch, In the past I have always used a chain bolted to the crossmember to the engine to limit lift and to save the mount, if this...

    early A body engine swap

    I just purchased the Pioneer engine mount 602710 for a diesel truck from rock auto, under $12.00 and all you have to do is drill another locating hole in the bracket. The mount looks good and has the locking tabs.

    63 Dart ignition issue

    I read your build a few days ago, great job, when you replaced your wire harness you need to have ign 1 in run position and ing 2 in crank position if you are still using factory ballast resistor

    lower ball joint types -- nub or no nub?

    I have done this swap a few times, 1st time in the early 80's my 65 cuda lost some turning radius. I heard from other friends to trim off 3/8 so that is what I did and has worked for me. I don't know exactly how much to cut off. I'm can't wait to hear the answers you get.
