My late friend's Long Ram Dart had heat and power steering. Picture taken after he installed a new front end and was not put totally back together. Notice P/S pump at end of fan blade.

No, it will not squeeze in............. ..........it will fall in. 67-68s could be had with 383s. 69 had 383 and 440s. My late buddy had a Long Ram 440 in his 70.

Classic example of what happens when you simply add a rear sway bar to a Dart.... Compare the handling between a 69 Charger with just a front sway bar and a 71 with both front and rear bars. 69 Charger C&T 1969: Dodge Charger 500 Road Test - YouTube 71 Charger 1971...

Let me add my .02... It will last a while if.... 1. You install temporary spares on the rear axle....(No traction= No load) 2. You install a throttle stop to never allow more than 1/8th throttle.... No throttle= No Load 3. Throw ignition key in nearest river..... No Run-No Break...

Yes, remove the inner springs for break-in. The reduced spring pressure will be insurance for a smooth break-in of the cam...less chance of scuffing and/or losing a lobe. The high spring pressure is needed for high lift and high rpms.

12-26-68 would be for a 69 model car.

Bill, It spent about 3 months outside under a cover while he built a new garage. Greazerlou, My friend used a standard width A-Body 8.75, relocated springs, mini-tubbed it and had Stockton make up some 15x12 with 7.75 inches of back spaceing which, from the side, made the wheel lock stock...

Oh No, not another torque monster loose on the streets !! Make sure you have plenty of rear tire.

Numbers to check. http://www.yearone.com/updatedsinglepages/id_info/mopar/mopar%20casting%20numbers/castingnumbers.html

Appears to be an industrial 413. http://forums.moparmusclemagazine.com/70/6543209/mopar-engines/motorhome-413-car-413/index.html

EL5Demon, They did NOT fudge the numbers on the Hemi and the 340. Hemi was rated at 425@ 5000 rpm and that was about right. Of course, if you looked at the rest of the dyno sheet you would see that it made a bit more up around 6500 rpm. The 340 was rated the the same way.

They were (theoretically) 8.2 to 1. That would be a perfect one where every tolerence was on the best side of perfect.

WAY TO NICE TO PART OUT. They make excellent tow vehicles.

Yep, it ain't no cop car. Not coded as one by serial number. Cop car would start off as DK41. No 140 mph certified speedo, 4 door hardtop, chrome wheels,etc, etc. Nice Polara though.

8 1 barrel carbs will be a tuning nightmare. The airflow thru each carb at an idle is very, very small. On a 440, you would be feeding only 55 cubes and you have only 1 piston needing air once every 4 revolution of the motor. This is another reason why this set-up was not used except on a...

She simply stated that she wanted to get it completed and going again and there were only 2 people that know how it goes back together, her late husband and me. I have known them since 1978 and he was my assistant fire chief back in the days. She would probably enjoy it more if I put a...

ABODYJOE, He bought it from an elderly gentleman west of Ocala, Fl. It was a white with black vinyl top /6 PS AC car with the houndstooth interior. Low miles and 1 rust thru hole about 1/2 inch in the trunk. You could lift up the carpet and find nothing but white paint and carpet dust! He had...

The car definitley ran good before he swapped in the coil-over suspension. 440 with .509 cam and the Long Rams meant instant power and tire smoke. The DOT legal slicks really helped but they still got overpowered at times. When Don Garlits and Dennis Gage were walking thru the show field...

My best friend that passed away last year built this 70 Dart to be different. He had just swapped in the tubular k-frame and coil-overs when he suddenly passed. His wife asked me to finally finish the job. It will be a daunting task because the car has been untouched for 17 months and it did...

The factory manifolds on a 69 440 Dart were so restrictive that a 340 car would take it. Classic case of constipation compared to B-Body manifolds, especially on the left bank.

I'm so glad that I live in Florida. My older brother who still lives in Ohio could not get plates for his Audi because it could not pass the dynamometer emissions test. Why??? .....because the dyno only had 1 set of rollers and he drove a Audi Quattro. It only took 4 months to get that mess...
