1969 Dart Pro touring daily driver **Crashed**
Ive got some time off collage and have decided to do some more extensive work on my first and only car so far, a 1969 dart gt. I bought the car about 5 years ago with money from summer jobs, I was really lucky because right after I got it the value of a bodies shot up and are now way too expensive for a young person to buy working part time in Sweden.
I thought it would be fun to put up a build thread to share and have everything in one place.
The plan is to make the car handle, grip and perform as well as possible without spending too much money. I also want it to be a good daily driver so I will hopefully be remedying all small annoying problems.
Motor: Chrysler Smallblock 360ci - 5.9L
Heads: 915J machined to 56.8 CC Std 1.88 / 1.60 valves, compression 9,8:1
Cam: CompCams Xtreme Energy XE262
Carb: Carter ThermoQuad
Intake: Edelbrock aluminiumintake
Ignition: Mallory
Transmission: Torqueflite 727
Exhaust: Doug`s long tube headers, 2.5"system
Rear end: Open diff 8 1/4 -3,90:1
Shocks: Hotchkis Fox tuned
Rear sway bar: Addco 22mm (yes this is too big when running a stock front bar, like I am)
