Grafting new dodge grill, into dart?

[snapetwo]

I dunno about you guys, but I like the new dodge grill. I have an 09 charger and think it looks great.

I am working on a hemi 5.7 swap, I have a 73 dart and hate the pointy nose, want the 72 flat looking nose on it...HOWEVER.

Wondering if grafting a new dodge grill, into the dart, would look good and would it provide enough air to keep that beast of an engine cool enough?

Any opinions?

Just thinking from the arm chair- to handle the small grille you might have to do what they do on the modern cars- mount the rad low and have a lower opening do most of the cooling.

hmm, ya I am just sitting here killing time at work, "thinking from the arm chair" myself, the dart does have a lower valance, with a gap in between it and the lower rad support.....might be able to make that work.

Sounds like a Job for Photoshop to me.

if only i was good at photoshop, I can't draw a stick figure.
Gonna go to my uncles this weekend, see if I can get him to draw me up a few renderings of my future dart. He used to be a disney animator, so he can draw like the dickens.

Im horrible with arts and computer graphics, just using MS paint and staring at the front of my charger, kinda came up with this...It might work.

I removed the square hazard lights, added a second smaller light, deleted the front bumper stops, added small blinkers on outside of headlights, seconary under the grill radiator opening like the new dodges....

What you think? please don't comment on the skill level, again i suck.

another, with lower fog lights.
