Update on My 64 Dart project
Well I finally got the mockup done and installed the driver side header. It's not as bad as I thought. Took me two hours to figure out I had the motor mounts backwards. Onece I switched them the motor went right in. The brake line that runs across the firewall has to me moved, way too close to the header pipe. I was going to do this anyway sice NHRA rules require it if you run a 4 speed without a scattershield. The stock distrobution block has top go, way to close to the headers. I'll be running a stock 67-72 valve mounted up by the master cylinder. I still need to trim the casting that sticks out on the bell housing (forgot that part). It looks like I may not have to notch the K member to clear the pan. I used a stock on on the mockup and looking at the Milodon pan the sump setrs back further that the stock pan. I'll do some measuring just to be sure. Here are some pictures. Oh any by the way I installed the driver side header from the top. I had to remove the mastercylinder, went right in. On a side note It tried several mini starters and they didn't work so I guess I'll be springing for the adjustable starter.
