I must admit it looks pretty cool owning 2 bad a$$ mopars at the same time all tucked away in the garage but due to space restraints and money still plan to sell the Dart. The cuda arrived today so I took a pic. Adam

1972 Dodge Dart Swinger (Street/Strip/Show): Fresh restoration completed last year that has all top notch components. I have the title for the vehicle. Engine & Transmission: Originally came from the factory with a 318 but has been replaced with a 360 with iron heads, mopar purple shaft cam...

In a basically stock 360 with just a purple shaft cam, 750 double pumper, with a bone stock converter compared to a 9.5" Dynamic converter with a 4200-4500 stall. I have 4.10 gears. Oh yeah and stock front shocks changed to 90/10 adjustable Competition Engineering shocks. How much of a...

Anyone know what the largest stroke size I can use in a factory 68' 440 block? I was going to go with a 4.15 stroke but I see 4.25-4.5 and 4.6??? If I use an external oiling system etc. just wondering if I can make a 528 ci out of it or larger if possible instead of the 499 ci. I was planning...

Well I got the dart all reassembled after paint and took these pics. Had to work out a few gremlins but thats normal for having it torn apart for a year. Just painted the grill 3 days ago and bolted that on yesterday. I went to Carlisle today and man guys, if your not there or planning to...

I'm having carb problems and was reading through the tech stuff and think I need a blow proof power valve. I was running a Edelbrock 750cfm and it ran fine. I bolted on this Holly 4340 double pumper and its running like crap. I shot the timing and have it at 8deg retarded but when I set the...

I think I read a post from someone else about the quality of parts they've ordered being f**k'd up lately. Well, I need to vent/add to that. I seem to just get the wrong parts period. I ordered a windshield gasket from Paddock a few weeks ago and I was EXTREMELY specific with what I needed. I...

The hot rod power tour made a stop in my town today so after work I went down to check out the cars. Lots of money in most as I figured and surprisingly I saw a few mopars (4 or 5 Roadrunners, a few demons/dart sports, 3 swingers). No trailer queens and they're on the final leg to Englishtown...

A relative just called to see if I wanted his 1970's jeep. He said it has a 401 ci BB engine that runs real strong but the jeep itself is kinda rough. I'm just wondering if any of you are using a 401 in any abody or what the rep they have overall. This is a big block engine size from AMC...

I put almost everything back on, knocked out the old wheel studs, and put in the oversized ones from Mancini to mount my new wheels and tires. I have 30x13.50's M/T on the rears, and man do they fill out. All that hard work mini tubbing it early on is paying off!!! I still have some room to...

Can anyone PM me a wiring diagram that shows the headlight switch wiring for a 72 dart. I'm sure most switches are the same for this from year to year so if anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it. I need to know what pin controls what and don't feel like shooting all the wires tomorrow...

Painted the dart this weekend and thought I'd post some quick pics. I still have to put on the black swinger stripe and then wet sand and buff. Finally can start to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Does anyone know who might have windshield and rear window gaskets in stock for a 1972 dodge dart swinger. Year One and Softseal are both on back order for them. A-teck left at 5 est so I'm not sure if they have them or not. I'm trying to get them in time for a show in 2 weeks so any help is...

My dart swinger is getting painted vitamin C orange and I will be putting the swinger stripe around the back of it. I was planning on making it a black stripe but thought of doing it in white pearl to make it a ghost stripe to be a bit different. Thought I'd see what any of your thoughts were...

All the wetsanding in the engine bay is finally over and shot and cleared. I let it set up for a few days and just put the engine and tranny back in. I must say it was a little stressful trying not to scratch the fresh paint. I'm planning on rewiring the entire car with a painless system and...

Well, I finally got everything fine tuned, sealed, and shot the primer last night and it turned out pretty good. Lettin it set up for a few days and plan to wet sand by the end of the week and then shoot the COLOR this weekend or early next week!!!! Thought I'd post some pics to see how she's...

A close friend of mine just picked up a 73 dodge challenger and already has a motor to put in it so he said he wants to sell the 400 that is in it. The motor is locked up and does not turn over. Another words buyer would most likely need to rebuild it. He also has a fiberglass complete front...

Well my dart is getting the primer put on this week and hope to start spraying color by the end of this coming up weekend. Problem is I still haven't nailed down the color I want! I want something bright, unusual and obnoxious. Sorry but I'm not a complete purist on this one and don't want to...

Back in October a friend of mine threw together a car with help from a few of us to get on the show pinks. I had a chance to help out so my ugly mug will get some TV time tomorrow. I watched the traps to spot lengths etc, and then was at the negotiations with a bunch of other people. My...

I haven't been able to visit here much lately cause I've been busy working on the dart. Here's some pics for an update. Oh yeah and for my birthday yesterday I went out and bought a new truck!

Let me start out with the respect factor for ya. I've noticed alot of you have tons of motor experience and know the costs vs. the ins and outs of all that can go into building motors and all the options. Well that's what I don't have. So here's the cars background and current set up. I...

Just wondering if anyone needs anything for a 73 dart swinger. I found one in a local salvage yard with quite a few thinks left. Is a slant 6 car, disk brakes are already gone with I believe the exception of the upper control arms still there). Has all the trim, stainless isn't too bad but...

Just wanted to say thanX to those who helped me tech my brake problems. The disk brakes are working like a champ! I stripped the paint off to uncover the inevitable which isn't bad. I'm hanging a new 1/4 skin next weekend, mines caved in real bad and someone along the way put about 2 cans of...

I'm curious to see what most of you have done if anything to clean up the firewall. I'm thinking about pulling the heater, windshield wiper motor, plugging holes and running wiring inside the car to passengers side. Just wondering if most of you retain your heater and wipers.

Man have I been reading all the previous posts about swapping front drums to disks. This weekend I did this swap so here's my platform. I have a 72 dart swinger, I changed upper control arms from a 73 disk car along with the spindles. I got a rebuilt master cylinder from the Advanced and new...

I'm hoping some of you here can help me. I have a 72 dart swinger and it's going to paint this winter. Before I do I want to put on a cowl hood on and can't find any good pictures of different colors and with a cowl hood. I can't decide on a 4" or go all out with a 6". If anyone knows of a...

I was wondering if anyone could provide me any tips on changing my column shift dart to a floor shift. I already have the Hurst quarter stick pistol grip shifter and plan to put it in soon. I'm wondering the best way and how hard it is to remove the old shifter and second if I need to mess...

Does anyone have a parts interchange or know what years will interchange on the inner door panels on a 72 Dart swinger? Will the 67-69 swingers work and or will the 70 and up duster/demons work? I don't have the originals to measure and I want to get a used set. ThanX

Well the good news is that after walking around Hershey today in the rain :sad8: , I talked some wheel guy into selling me Weld Alumastar 2.0's brand new in the boxes, for $200 for both. I already minitubbed my dart and wanted 15x10's but couldn't pass up this deal. SOOO since I was planning...

I'm going to the Fall Carlisle swap meet this weekend. I went to Chryslers of Carlisle this summer but this will be my first trip to the Fall carlisle swap. Anyone know if they tend to have much mopar stuff? I live 20min away in Harrisburg so I'm going regardless, just wondering how much loot...
