69 Dart Hemi Swap

The old motor is currently sitting in the car for mock up. It broke a valve spring this summer and gobbled a valve. So stripped it down to just a bare block and heads for mock up purposes.

Please excuse the Hijack... But seeing your setup here, has given me a slight glimmer of hope.

I'm thinking real hard on swapping a 5-7 into my 69.. I did 5.7/8HP70 swap in my 64 A100 truck earlier this year and man, what a blast that it is to drive now. And so reliable! It just works.

I have factory AC in mine and would love it IF I could retain it. Looking at your setup, it almost looks like it just might clear. I also see that you have retained heat, blower motor and the wiper motor.. I see so many deleted. I have PS and Pb as well. I may just have to go with electric ps to simplify things. But I really believe that AC might clear with whatever setup your running.. might have to shift forward just a tad if possible. Also, I'm not sure if there are other intakes that would allow more clearance for AC fittings. Just starting into the research so...

Would you mind telling me your setup? K member, mounts etc.. Running headers or cast? Is you alternator relocated?

Thanks for any info
