408 dart sport

Paint guy sent me a couple teaser photos
Also a little change with the engine
Decided to replace the dish pistons with a flat top Which will take the compression to 12.5
From 10.5

Very nice!! Is that eggshell white?

 

[o1heavy]

Very nice!! Is that eggshell white?

God I hope not

 

[QuickDart360]

I know chrysler has what is called spinaker white. But from the pics it's hard to say.

 

[o1heavy]

It’s back and very white
Painter used Ppg pure white
This thing is hard to look at it so white

 

[QuickDart360]

That's going to be very nice!! Any plans to use black stripe kit to offset white? These cars look terrific with stripes.

 

[o1heavy]

Yep gonna use this one

 

[QuickDart360]

Yep that's gonna do the trick!!! Will be seriously killer looking when done.

I thought EW1 was a nice color !
My 70 Charger was EW1... got lots of compliments !

Yes ....I was a Bbody guy before I was an Abody guy.

 

[o1heavy]

Little more

 

[o1heavy]

Dana white the cap5 wheels

 

[o1heavy]

Most of the wiring half of the fuel system
And 39% of the interior

O and 40 % of the engine
Does that count as progress

 

[Dartnut]

Yes it does!
Lookin' good!

 

[69conv]

Just moving the motor closer to the body counts as progress! Keep it up. BTW I like the front end up in the air.

What heads? Port work?

 

[o1heavy]

What heads? Port work?

Indy rhs head
Brian from imm sold them to me
They have his max effort port work done
And he seems pretty confident that it will make 590-600
I pulled the dish pistons and put in some flat tops which make it 12.5 to 1
I’m gonna use the car for 7.0 index racing for a while
But would love for it to run the 6.60/50 range

 

[QuickDart360]

Sounds good! Will that compression work with pump gas?

 

[o1heavy]

O yeah also with a pro trans
Built 904

 

[o1heavy]

Sounds good! Will that compression work with pump gas?

E85

 

[QuickDart360]

92 or 93 not enough?

 

[o1heavy]

92 or 93 not enough?

No I don’t believe so
Mainly looking for the small bump in power
And the cooling characteristics

 

[QuickDart360]

Oh ok just wondered since I may consider using those heads @ some point. Now got stock x heads not sure if there's an improvement going to IMM indy x heads. I have kb107 flat top pistons on a 360 stock stroke block.
