My search for a shorty D100 is over
I gots updates for yous. Been working on the truck every day after work and on the weekends trying to get ready for @Turbo440Dart wedding cruise. I’m running up against the deadline pretty quick. My back hates me right now, but Ive made big progress. The transmission is in and all the cooling lines (hardline) are made and run to the radiator. Driveshaft (as of today) is being made by Inland empire driveline (excellent company BTW if you need a driveshaft amd are local), I built a complete, albeit temporary exhaust system with mufflers and pipe I hade laying around. I stripped all of the (don’t send hate mail) junk electronic ignition crap off the truck and rewired the entire engine harness, getting rid of unnecessary stuff, egr timer, choke control, mopar orange box ignition, ballast resistor, stuff like that and simplified everything. I’m using the mopar distributor with an HEI unit that I built for the 318 in my dart (kept it when I gave the engine to @jedrattle )
Made up some plug wires, marked the balancer and put the fire to it. She runs and she’s rowdy. Still have some things to finish up, swap the column out for an auto, shift linkage, and wire up the trans controller. But it’s getting there. My girl took a video last night of it running so I’ll post that to the tube and get you guys a link. Now pictures.
Last picture is for @Bobzilla I snaked both pipes up and over the trans crossmember. I just couldn’t bring myself to hang ‘em underneath.
