68 Dart Project.
I’m back. Even though I fade away I’m still busy on this 68 Dart Project. Updates..
Finished up the porting on the Mopar Crossram now. That was a lot of hours and 3 intake gasket sets later to get things right.
This pic, ready to drop the crossram on.
Intake is now in place. Masking tape to eliminate the possibility of something sliding down in. Took about a dozen re torques before things took a set. Once it’s run in for awhile it will come apart and get another re-torque.
Top plates installed now. 1” spacers will be used and that’s a set of home made burst valves for just in case.
Back together now, still waiting for one carb fitting though. Yes the air bells do fit under the scoop. These are actually B body max wedge air bells.
Fabricated linkage worked out great. Those took me lots of hours to build. Will run 2 X 9” air cleaners for the majority of the time.
Anti freeze is now added and the hood no longer requires a hockey stick prop rod. Happy with how the hood ended up,. The hood hole needed to be modified but I’m extremely pleased how it worked out. The hood also lifts and closes with one finger and drops over the 4 pins perfectly.
The fuel cell also got fuel for the first time. Added a can and a half so far and fuel gauge registers 1/2 tank. Perfect.
And a new 1000CCA battery went into the battery box today.
Getting close gents! Once the PPP shifter shows up and gets installed it will be time to fill the transmission and fire this bad boy up!
