Ok guys. Here is the run down. I am going to put a hemi 5.7 into the dart. I don't want to loser power steering, i would like to lose the Tbars for more room, and would like power rack. I have $4500 ready to be spent. I want honest to god true opinions on what everyone thinks and would do. I...

I am goint to be stuffing an up to 700hp hemi into a daily driver, i use that term loosely as I won't be driving it every single day, but a good portion. With that much HP, I don't think having just subframe connectors will cut it. I don't want a nasco/drag style roll cage, looks ugly and...

So I was messing with the dart the other day, and noticed when I tried to close my passenger door, the glass was overlapping the rear glass by about an inch at the top...so if i slammed the door, i woulda shattered glass. As far as I know this car was not wrecked, didn't notice this before I...

Starting to subframe the dart, figured " why not run fuel and brake lines through Frame" Has anyone done this? Any issues? I think it would clean up the bottom nicely And protect the lines...

I am getting ready to install some subframe connectors in the dart. Few friends were over this weekend and commented how the engine bay looks like it curves down to the nose, as if the body is bowed up in the middle. How do i check for squareness in the body/chassis? and had how do i pull it...

So I swapped my 73 k member, s6 w disc brakes for a 71 k, v8 w drum. Only thing I see needing changed is the idler arm. The rest of parts arent bolted to k member. Contacted Pst and was informed now my ball joints both upper and lower will not work now. Can anyone tell me why? From what I see...

So I bit the bullet, pulled my suspension AGAIN. swapped the s6 K out for the v8 k... Well bone head me, didn't bother to check the threads on the gearbox.2 of the 3 will thread, top one will not. What are the fixes that anyone has used? I don't have a tap that fits, if i gotta buy one I will...

Got a 71 v8 k member with manual steering. have a 73 S7 k member with power steering. Now obviously one is made for a v8 and one for an S6. My question is...can you put power steering on the stock 71 v8 k frame? OR in 71 was there a different K frame, that had v8 and pws? and yes, I have...

Ok so I did see a few OLD posts with this topic, don't want to ressurect them. I'm an going to swap the power s6 k out in my 73 dart, I am going to put in my manual steering v8 k from my 71. 71 and 73 are both column shift. What probs am I gonna run into? Will the column and coupler just...

hello. So to make this story short, I have a 73 dart that I just rebuild the suspension on. Originally I ordered a kit for my 71 dart (totalled it before i could isntall it). PST was nice enough to exchange the incompatible pieces 10 years later (time that passed before getting the 73 dart)...

Hey all, Has anyone heard of badart and dillingerchassis? What is the opinion of their product, anyone using it? I am considering them as an alternative to alterkation as a weekend driver, not strip really. any input greatly appreciated.

Just spoke with a guy named Dylan at Helix Suspension. They have a universal kit that is pretty close to the measurements on the dart. Rack n Pinion, 5x4.5 patter, airbag suspension, etc $3500 next week, some kinda discount. figured I would pass it along...

Ok, so little background. My 73 dart was originally an inline 6 (least I was told so), I didn't come with the inline 6 or stock tranny, but a 360 block outta truck. I have since rebuild the entire suspension, painted it all up, etc. Monday, I walked into a steal, 5.7 hemi complete (minus...

Ok so I pressed new bushings it, redid the one I pressed to far. Figured a out a way to take the inner sleeve off the pivot arm, welded a pair of vice grips to it and pressed, ha worked great. So the lca. First i had to stop at 3am, but I was trying to install the passenger side lca, and the...

Forgive me if i double posted, didn't see what I was looking for. I just yanked the front suspension outta my dart, waiting on new TBs, installing a pst rebuild kit. The TB adjusters look pretty rusty and worn, found some for $20 a set on craiglist, look good. How the hell do i remove these...

I got a complete kit from PST for my front suspension, gonna put it all back together tomorrow. Had a question, when i start reassembling the suspension parts, what do i need to grease? all the joints have zergs, i get that part needs greasing..but like do any of the bolts need greasing? any of...

I have a question about these bushings i pressed into my LCAs Both are solid on the outer shell, i cannot press anymore. HOWEVER one of the piviot arms "collar" above the bushing is only 1/4" from the inner bushing shell. the other is 3/4" from the inner shell. If you look from TB side, the 1/4"...

As some of you know, I am not really considering saving up for an alterkation setup on the dart. Due to future engine and better handling, etc. and the cool look factor too. HOWEVER, I was wondering if the road feel is lost with these kits. I don't really wanna have a nasty dart and when i...

I wanted to post this, helped me out today with my LCA bushings, figured it could help others. On the LCA bushings, i found it easiest to use various sized extensions and press them out, i bought a 12 ton press from harbor freight for $120..already worth it. 1. first step i did was use a...

I am attempting to prep my car for a viper transplant. I have access to a viper engine and tranny for a decent cost. My question is this. If I left the stock torison bars or ever upgraded to heavy duty TB on a 73 dart, an i managed to massage that v10 into the engine..Would the suspension hold...

Hello everyone, New to the forums, loving it. You guys are great. I recently bought 73' dart, for a $1k, body is great, rest needs work. I had it up on jacks the otherday repairing a steering coupler issue (previous owner attempted to jb weld the steering coupler to PW steering shaft...what a...
