72 Dart Swinger 3.6L Pentastar +T5

How goes the conversion to 3.6 anything new?

Yes lots,,,but most just getting the car back together in general. I've determined I would have been up and driving a LONG time ago if I wasn't starting out with a disassembled shell. lol


I was missing a few key parts, so what better excuse to go the NATs to find them! Saves on shipping!

A new Front Windshield(not shown) was the big one i needed. A year or so ago Safe-light said they'd install a new one for ~$220. Awesome!,,,,But when I called then a couple weeks ago, the price was now $360 and I had to supply the new seal.($120). So F That,,I picked up a new windshield from the Stephens Performance tent at the Nats for $216.

Both Roof rail weatherstrip retainers were the other big parts that were MIA on my car.

Carpet($145), headlight surrounds($40), Roof rail weatherstrip retainer 2x($80), Flip top gas cap($15)

Got both Roof rail weatherstrip retainers installed this week with new weatherstrip.
I spent a good HOUR getting the two passenger windows lined up with one another and the weatherstrip. A real pita.

My Drivers side 1/4 window regulator is a bit jacked up so it needs a couple new plastic bits before it will roll up smooth.



Besides reassembling the body, I'm working on getting the Wrangler dash harness installed along with the TIPM(relay box). Trying to avoid cutting yet another hole in the firewall.

DEAL of Year: Goodmark manual side mirror $37 from RockAuto.
Most of this style at the NATs were between $90-$120.
