Red Headed Stepchild-75 Swinger LSX Swap

[SwingerLSX75]

I do apologize everyone, the tail end of the racing season had a lot going on and got really busy really fast with life but i have some up and downs to close out the 2025 year with the Dart.

After the Drop the hammer race I got some testing and stuff down out at ONX speedway in NC with my buddy and his big block Challenger. Just some fun TNT races to make sure I had the car working like I wanted it to.



She was like a bracket car that day going 5.16, 5.16, and 5.15 to the 1/8 in preps for Southeast Street N yeet down in NC/SC/GA in November.

Well we finally have a motor!!

The dart is also getting much closer to being ready for paint. Scuffed up to 220 so fsr. Still have to do 400 tomorrow, clean itnup and make sure he and I get it taped off so he can do the last portion on the 1/4s before spraying some primer on the hood, cowls and trunk. Then we will seal it all and spray her torch red.

Thank you very much. This is getting to the final goal/vision of the build so its definitely been a long road and hopefully after this its just enjoying it, doing maintenance, and only replacing what breaks.

 

[SwingerLSX75]

All done.
