[hemi62valiant]

Is it possible to put a big block in and keep it looking halfway stock? Do you need to move the shock towers?

[LILBLUE65]

Yup and Nope.

Here is a page that I put together today with some pictures of my Dart.  I will update the page as progress is made.  If anyone would like a horse or two for their children look at the rest of the website, a portion of any sales will be added to the alterkation fund for the Dart.

Im almost ashamed to show these pics, It has been on the back burner for a while as evident by the dust . I always seem to find something else to do on this work in progress. Low deck 451, CNC ported 2.18 456 heads, Pro-parts headers made to fit, 727 w MP 175K convertor, 8.75 489 cone rear w/3.91's. Motor Dyno'd 550 HP on the stand with that TQ and intake. Im still on 205 tires so traction is a little challenged. Check out the VIN on the rad support, 5540100001--first one bulit that day?? Dig that retro Mallory ignition box and the dual electric fans, the small one is the secondary, I got no room for a shroud.

Pishta, nice job.  Thanks for the engine photos.  What did you have to do to make those headers fit?  Any pics of the mods?  Any pics of underneath?

Thanks,
Mike

What kinds of oil pans are you guys running?

[LILBLUE65]

I have an old Pro Form pan on my motor right now.


Test fit of the brake swap hardware and put the T-Thrust wheels on to see how they look. Man I'm getting excited. First work on the car this month.

Some work I did this winter. Move spring, mini tub, install sliders..and more.

[CudaDon65]

Thanks,Well my perches are not welded so I eyeballed it for now. It should be at about 5 to 7 degrees down.
The springs are SS (2800 lbs) A-body springs. The tires are Mickey Thompson SR. The torsion bars are gone because of the AlterK front end.
