This dart is my sons, he drove in high school, slowly we made a few changes, was 273. now 360, swapped out the 7.25 for a 8.75 323, during his summer vacation, all this was in `97/`98, drove it pretty much as it sits for several years thru college, then when he started working he bought a new car in about 2008, dart went into storage, think I`ll drag it out and finish it for him... he works 12 hour days, 5/6 days a week, sense I`m retired now that will give me something do...

Hey, looks solid nice start! 65'
 
What a nice car and an even better gesture by you.
Good luck, it looks like an easy project from here.............
 
Thanks guys, the engine we pulled the 360 from a roll over `79 ram 4x4, 60 over, 587 J heads, needs a little more cam, the 8.75 and the LD340 intake came from the swap meet the same day, mopar headers ( hate them ) high torque mini starter, re-cored the radiator, still needs front disc ( maybe four wheel disc ) need to freshen up the trans, recover and install `68 GT buckets, light body work, reseal glass and paint...the only rust it does have is in the spare tire well, ( leaking rear window seal around the factory vinyl top ) which we removed...
