Good afternoon all. I am going to document my build with my kids. We have a 1972 Dodge Dart swinger that came with a 225 slant 6. We are taking this in a direction that most will scoff at but the build will not be a classic v8 swap. This build will be using a Toyota 3.0 liter 2jz. The build will be a large single frame turbo with a goal of 500ish horsepower and be a fun street car. The car is a all original 1 owner. It was last on the road in 1994 and was kept in a garage for the last 30 plus years. It was a market place find and I purchased it from the grandson of the original owner who had since passed away.
This build is basically a full restoration and engine/transmission /rear diff swap. We're not doing a show car restoration but getting rid of the rust and rot and repainting everything. This will start from the beginning and go right thru to the very end.
My son was with me and very excited for the project. Here are some pictures from that day we picked it up. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to ask and post away. This is judgement free zone and any one is intitltled to there opinion and we would love to hear what the thoughts are all the way. Thanks for checking this life long dream build of mine and look forward to some rusty, dirty, fun.
