Made a little more progress.
We got the B&M Mega shifter installed, a temporary bucket seat put in until I get the ones I want.
Cut and moved the radiator support to fit the electric fan for the new aluminum radiator.
Blowthrough carb had been built. 68/76 jets to start with, going to run 8 inch vent tube extensions.
Also removed and painted all of the hot side.

Very nice progress. This is a very clean, well executed project.
We got a few more things done. I'm pretty freakin lucky to have a buddy that's so damn good at fabricating.
Throttle kickdown bracket.
Flange brace
New aluminum radiator and shroud.
Radiator is 19 x 22. 16" Electric fan moves 2200cfm.
The shroud was for a 19 x 26 radiator that had to be reworked to fit this one.
B&M has been installed and the manual steering column and steering sector are in. Also put in a temporary bucket seat until I get the dough for the ones I want.
Had to cut a speed hol for the carb hat to clear.
6 pack hood scoop will be getting installed.
Still have to finish the cold side and a lot of other things but the list is getting smaller fast.

ya my favorite build to. its a very clean build that seems like i could afford it someday lol. is the motor just stock? or is it built to perform already?
Bone stock 318 out of a 74 Fury Sport. So its got the smog heads and all.
But I do have a 360 out of a 91 Ramcharger that will be going into it at some point.
I don't plan on building up a motor for it until after I have the body done.

great build keep pics coming !!:read2:
The turbo spins on idle now, just needed to be broke in a bit.
Did a little more tuning. Needs the timing figured out and to be rejetted.
Have to ease into the throttle or it loads up. The 318 isn't so happy with the 750 cfm carb until it gets up in the rpm's.
Here is my buddy taking it for a drive.
its pretty freakin cool when the boost builds and it starts to haul ***.

Hmmm...vid doesn't seem to work for me. :angry7:
But the car looks great. You really detailed it pretty well, making it look easy! 8)
Still a lot of work done very well. Can't wait to see what it'll do all tuned in! :-D

First off, great build! It turned out real nice. I do have a few questions. First, what size line did you use for your oil feed for the turbo, as well as the return to the pan? Second, What did you use for your exhaust sytem, size and what muffler? Thanks and good luck.
Took the car out tonight to work on the tune a little more.
I have to learn how to drive with a large mechanical secondary on this 318.
Its quite fun to blow the tires off at 25mph.
Its hitting 5psi at ~3000rpm, which is full boost right now.
WOT AFR is around 12.9, should probably drop that down some.
Idle is at 13.3

We locked the timing at 26 then took it out to have some fun.
It runs good for what it is.
Unhooked the line to the waste gate that was helping it blow off at 5psi and took it for a spin.
Just running on the smallest spring that came with the X02 waste gate and we got 12lbs of boost.
Going to have to drill out the power valve more and play with the timing before it will run at 12lbs.
It was a fun test at least.
She is a pooch until the boost builds then it takes off and there is no holding it back.
Should have videos up today sometime.

very nice!! It would be interesting to see some dyno numbers, i'm sure your curious about that as well.
What are your plans for finishing the body? are you gonna dress it up or leave it looking like the sleeper?
by the way, be careful about doing long burnouts like that. Its fun, but the Dart is the first car i've driven that would do that and I almost put it in a corn field a few weeks ago. It certainly would have ruined my summer.
