SRT8 Dart - Finished!
1) I used TTi headers, not a perfect fit, but like most aftermarket parts they get you 90% there and you do the rest.
2) The late Rocky Mtn Dash was used with AutoMeter Sport Comp ll gauges. Wiring harness was Ron Francis throughout the car.
3) Rear is a Strange Dana with 3.54 gears. The trans is geared to simulate a 4.10 until fourth gear then it's cruise time. An Alterkation triangulated four link was used. I used the mig in spray mode to weld it together and used a 1.5 degree pinion angle. New ford Explorer rear brakes were used along with Wilwood six piston calipers up front. Let me ad one thing, Bill Reilly from Alterkation rocks!
4) I did the body and paint. When I bought the car a couple of years ago it wasn't done very well. So I straightened things out bigtime because of the hi-gloss black. I used PPG DP90 epoxy primer, K38 2K filler primer and three coats of Jet Black paint. Cleared it twice with PPG 8152 clear, wet sanded and applied three more coats. Wet sanded again, let it sit for three day to "gas off" and buffed it out using the Norton Liquid Ice system, 3 pads and one compound/detailing spray.
5) Seats are stock.
6) Trans is Keisler 4L60e 4 speed. This was not an easy install since I was the launch customer to put this unit in an A-Body. I could write a book just on this subject.
7) FAST ignition and fuel components keep it running.
8), and yes I did 110% of the work on the car except the dyno tune.
Glad you all are enjoying the car, I know I am!!!!!! Thanks again!
