7-Sept-22 The Wilwood kit is finally installed, new tires and wheels as well. Ordered a Painless Performance Mopar Harness to rewire the whole car. It's supposed to be done this month (fingers crossed) Found a 8¾ Diff from a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner (yeah, I know it's a B-Body, I hate to see...

Duuuude ! Your Dart is in WAY better shape that mine when I got it. Check the hole in my floor ! (then replaced with a Stamped Floor Pan from AMD) Replaced the Floor and Crossmember... + about 20 hours... cost me around 4000 Canadian Dollars.

19-Nov-2021 The front crossmember and floor have finally been replaced (29 hours job). Part of the firewall on the driver's side will have to be replaced as well (next spring) Next step is to have the car completely rewired (Painless Harness #10127)...

I kind of agree with 'em... When I saw the whole video about Piston bank swapping giving you more HP... It didn't make any sense... Here's how Freiburger and Dulcich destroyed his arguement... Since that day, I've stopped giving any credit to Uncle Tony's "tips" or expertise. As far as...

04-06-2021: Floorpan arrived in July 2020 due to COVID complications... it was in a very bad shape... crossmember was missing as well. Body Shop didn't accept the shipment as is and got a refund. Ordered again elsewhere, it finally got there in October 2020. So the work began very slowly (as...

Don't know how "useless" they really are for Cars... but here's a famous project car with said motorhome 440...

I got the 12.19 big disc kit from Wilwood for my Dart. Since the original 14 inch wheels (bbp) don't fit, I checked around for new wheels that would fit the hub, match the bolt pattern and also, since I'm plus sizing my tires from 14 to 15 inches, that keep the same tire height to avoid messing...

12-02-2020: Ordered a front floorpan to replace the whole thing and, while we're at it, ordered a torsion bar crossmember as well. The current one was rotten and "repaired" by the first bodyshop I sent the car to a few years ago (to rebuild the trunk, rear suspension and fix the...

29-01-2020: The car is, once again, at the body shop (a different one). I have massive holes on driver side floor (seems my seat was mostly held by the carpet...) When the shop owner removed the seats and carpet, he noticed the Transmission Tunnel was bent at many places (between the seats)...

Saw them on Jegs. Still in stock. I haven't thought about custom grinds, that's something I'll have to explore for sure. Thanks for the tip.

I'm no mechanic but I do read / gather tons of info before I choose what's going on my build... Still, no matter how much I read about camshafts, I understand what the stats mean (duration, lobe separation, etc.) but how that translates into "real life" application, I'm lost. (that's the lack of...

August 5th, 2019: The bodyshop that will fix the floor is right besides the performance shop (no towing !). The owner called me with a "I've got a bad news" voice... Most of the floor has to be removed/replaced. I've told him to replace as much as he has to. There's the AMD 400-1267 floor pan...

24 if we add mine ;)

Just called Aerohead Racing (the Stock Division of Indy) to order LAX Bare Castings and, indeed, they are out of stock... BUT, they should get more in about 6 weeks ! So, the LA-X Head isn't out of production. It's simply out of stock.

April 11, 2019: I ordered the Wilwood kit #140-15468, 4x Bassett Racing Wheels 15x7 (DOT Legal D-Holes), 4x BFGoodrich Advantage T/A Sport (205/65R15) for a total of 3000$ (~2250 USD) Since the car is on the ground, I took a few pictures of the Exhaust Manifolds and new Distributor Cap/Rotor...

next time I'm under the car, I'll take the pictures.

'Sup Fabo. In my restoration thread, I mentionned we found a fist-sized hole in the floor (driver side, near the transmission tunnel). The Carpet is rotted/molded/disgusting... so, gotta replace it... completely. Here's my question: Would you have the whole floor redone (no matter how good...

8¼. Will know the final gear ratio when the mechanic gets to it. It doesn't look that good (the back seat has a moldy look) but I haven't cleaned the interior yet... so I don't know the extent of the damage.

Must have been changed before I got it. The car was bought by the last owner's aunt in 1974. She then sold it to her brother... who gave it to his son... who refused to sell it to me (caus he wanted to restore it) and his wife agreed to sell it to me half-price after her daughter told her I...

March 28, 2019: It's her turn. One of the few performance shops in town closed and the one I've sent my car to was already swamped in cars. We agreed on storing her for the winter and start working on it in spring. Work done so far: TTI Exhaust (h-pipe) system, restore the exhaust manifolds...

Same day... Inside the shop... there's another Dart... The owner wants to trade engines... his 340 for my stock 318. FABO and I agreed on keeping the 318.

June 18, 2018: I'm fed up... while I don't have the facilities to work the way I'd want... Tried to do the rear brakes, the parts guy didn't give me the right ones... Wasted lots of time on mundane things... I kinda lost morale. Then I suddenly get a shitload of money (3 years worth of pay raise...

October 17, 2015: She's back from the bodyshop. Upgrade to the rear suspension: Calvert Racing Split-Mono Leafs (stock height)

Still October 25, 2014...

October 25, 2014 : the day I met her...

Hey fabo, During a 2013 evening, a friend of mine and her father were riding with me to my home and, while her father and I didn't know eachother much, she knew I was into classic cars... and her dad had some (old 40's Plymouth, 80's IROC-Z Camaro, 74 Dart Sport, etc.). So, she initiated a...

Here's another kit with bigger rotors (12.19 inch instead of 11) Wilwood Disc Brakes - 1974 Dodge Dart Disc Brake Spindle - Front Brake Kit No.: 140-15468-D

Based on my VIN number, my car was built on April 1974... April would sound good for a car's name... not sure I'm gonna name her yet... So... that's why it's "June" ?

Nice ! I would have gone with BAER SS4+ but it doesn't clear my 14 inch wheels. I have to redo the brakes on all 4 wheels and I don't want to buy a brand new oem kit to replace it with an aftermarket the following year... So this is great news. If it fits my current wheels I'll get the "D" kit...
