Dart to 4spd Conversion

A lot... 3k is fair number if you have nothing. I did mine over 4 years slowly collecting parts. Nothing is cheap but if patient you can really cut the cost to a half or third depending on goals. Picked up a scatter shield off eBay with a block plate for 125 (guy labeled it incorrectly), pedals with pivots, arm, z-bar and bushings for 140 (really good deal), hemi trans that needed a rebuild in a trade for a snowblower... yeah, I'm cheap. Saved on rebuild with a main shaft labeled incorrectly. Shifter / linkage isn't cheap either but found a ramrod with mounts for another 150. Brother has linkage so that helps, will fabricate a set. Then flywheel and clutch. Stuck there so I paid list for a McCleod flywheel and RST clutch, will not write that number. Then a driveshaft, again had AL shaft made for about 370. Then boots, clips, I don't want to add it up but expensive. Then start breaking stuff... forgot throughout bearing. Just adds up a cut at a time. At least I had the plate for the pivot on the frame so that was free..

This is a street/ strip car so you can save on clutch / flywheel but this stuff adds up quickly

Good luck though, not trying to deter you. Just a bunch to do. Mine is finally in the car but I haven't begun the butcher process for the shifter yet.
