73 Dart Sport

[ChrisPerry]

Thought I would share a couple pics of a never ending project of mine.

and a couple of the motor

This has been about a 6-7 year project. It started as a bone stock 73 Dart Sport, Slant 6 with a three speed, you know typical old lady car.
Now it's blown 493ci (stroked 440) that'll be running E85. Should make 900+ HP. Car has a 4link, fully tubed, 12 point cage, 4 wheel manual disc brakes, manual steering. Just your average weekend cruiser.

'72 front end?

Cool project!!

It's from a 70 Dart 4dr. I wanted to get the Demon look. I'm painting the grill now.

 

[tRustyK5]

The 70-72 front end is my favorite. I had a '72 Swinger I still miss!

Specs on your ride?

Never mind, I see you added that already!

That is bada$$ bring it to Famoso speedway here in Bakersfield. That looks like a fun ride!!!!!

 

[ChrisPerry]

I plan on running it @ Bakersfield when I get it drivable. When I get extra time I plan to install the parts I already have but no spending any money on it until after BlazerBash.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread - but yes, Mopars are good to go. Here are a few I owned in the late 80's (but note the orginal '86 k5 in the background) I still have it! BTW: the '71 Cuda was used for interior shots in Phantasm II since it had a pistol grip shifter.

Well finally dug it out of storage and it's home to get running and driving.


Few changes done in last 6 years lol.

Custom American Racing wheels. 18x7 frontn 20x15 rear.

 

[ChrisPerry]

Pulled inner fenderwells, torsion bar suspension, and factory steering. Installed a HemiDenny coilover frontend with rack and pinion steering.



Changed up the blower drive setup and went to a low mount, high power gm style alt.
