    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    I was mistaken. It was Dante's and they are the ones for the thinner molding in the picture below. https://dantesparts.com/i-30499546-mopar-1967-69-dodge-dart-rocker-molding-clips.html

    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    Thanks Dana! Those look very similar to what's on the Dart at the moment. I am not sure if the molding for the 270 is the same as the GT or not. My 270 has the holes and some of the clips, but the molding was missing when I bought the car. Initially I was just going to weld the holes closed and...

    I like them as well. I am going to pick up the rocker panel moldings and black them out too. Have I mentioned I dislike "chrome?" Mancini racing is the only place I have found the clips so far though. Mine are all missing.

    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    I am definitely blacking out as much of the trim as I can. I am doing all my blackout with plasti-dip so it can be undone if need be. The one thing I am torn over is a bumble bee stripe. I know the 67's didn't have one but I like them. I am thinking a white ghost stripe instead of a solid one...

    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    Got her cleaned up, primed, and back together over the last few weekends and actually got her up and running Monday. Thing runs like a sewing machine and holy crap is it a power improvement! Much more fun to drive. She rides a good bit stiffer with the new bushings and thicker torsion bars...

    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    I mentioned the end game image I have for the Dart. It's mostly in my head, but kind of "on paper" as well. My inner nerd found a 3D model of a 1968 and altered it in Blender (3D modeling software) to get it as close as I can to the vision in my head. We're getting there slowly but surely.

    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    It worked so-so. On the factory assemblies, the rod can pass though front to back no problems. The replacements are built slightly different and the rear mount sits about 1/8th inch higher so the rod will not pass all the way through. I was definitely a bit grumpy when my genius plan was foiled...

    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    Thank you, but I am very much a noob when it comes to working classic cars. Most of this I am doing for the first time as this is my first project car. It is really a matter of researching several different ways to do what it is I want to do. Then It's just picking the method, or combination of...

    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    Actually, This is in really good condition for Maine from what I have seen. I have been looking at both B-Body and E-Body cars in the area for the "next project" and they are far more rotted out. This one was a daily driver until 83, then parked 15 years in a storage unit then 15 years in a barn...

    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    After cutting out the rot, patching the frame rail on both sides, and a metric butt ton of trimming and fitting... I got the new mount welded in, along with a new inner fender. Somehow I failed to get progress pictures of that but here's the installed and painted Driver's side. still need to...

    Holy Crap! I can hardly believe it's been almost a year since I have posted an update. Things have moved along since my last visit to this particular post. I will post supporting pictures as I can, though a lot of this is covered on my YouTube, so here goes. I yanked out the dash and got to...

    Olds/Pontiac 9.3 in an A-Body?

    I am thinking the 9.3 is not going to be a good choice. Could I make it work? Yes. But toolmanmike was definitely correct in the amount of work/money required to do so mot being worth it. Thank you ALL for your insights and information. It is greatly appreciated.

    Olds/Pontiac 9.3 in an A-Body?

    This is more for a weekend driver that I sometimes want to romp on. I want to build a drag car in the future but I have A LOT to learn before I get to that point.

    Not Sure the listing doesn't say if it sure grip or open. I am going to give the guy a call this coming week.

    Olds/Pontiac 9.3 in an A-Body?

    I had not thought to look for a 9.25 There is one at the same yard the 360 magnum came from. They want $450 for it. It's from a 95 Ram so it definitely would need to be shortened.

    Olds/Pontiac 9.3 in an A-Body?

    I am ok with rebuilding one. I would actually prefer to. Hands on is how I learn best and that's what this project is about for me. The perches are correctly spaced for an a body. It is 1 3/5 inches wider flange to flange so I think that could be made up for with back spacing.

    Olds/Pontiac 9.3 in an A-Body?

    The one I am looking at has a 5x5 bolt pattern. I did look at fabcraft metal works in my search to see if parts were available. Guy is asking $150 for it. Says he is not sure about the gear ratio but thinks it is 2.75:1 and open so both things would have to change. Car currently has a 7.25...

    Olds/Pontiac 9.3 in an A-Body?

    Hey all, I have been looking for a used 8.75 in my area for almost 3 years now with no luck. I have seen several Ford 8.8 and 9 inch swaps but I am wondering if anyone has tried an olds/pontiac 9.3? There is one not to far away for pretty cheap. It measures 43" perch to perch which is spot on...

    Thank you. I have 3 more patches to do. I will give that a try on those.

    @mygasser I used a combination of flap disk and hard grinder. Used the flap disk to get the bulk of the weld off, then used the hard disk to try to feather the rough edges to the panel. The weld bead still needs ground down down a bit and I plan to use the flap disk for that.

    Good evening all, Since I have the engine out, I am going to take care of some much needed structural work. I am currently ripping the suspension out and will give it a refresh while it is out. Also going to tackle the floor pans and replace the torsion bar crossmember which is a hodgepodge of...

    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    @MassDart. Looks good. Is your air cleaner height a result of the carb, air cleaner, or both? I have a Holley Sniper with a 1" drop base and it sticks up much higher than yours does. I am a touch worried about hood clearance. @JCFcuda I was actually fortunate enough to find a B&M 10241...

    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    Hello All, It's been a hot minute since my last update. As usual my plans got derailed because.....me! Instead of paint and body work, I decided the car needed more displacement. Picked up a 360 Magnum out of a '98 Ram. I initially wanted to convert it to a carb, but later opted for a Sniper EFI...

    Diy - Magnum Swap!!

    I started with the adjustment arm in the lower hole as that is how it was on the 273 but it still hits the head. We definitely have different brackets. Your bracket has the alternator further out from centerline. That is definitely what I need. The top outermost bolt in the head where your...

    Diy - Magnum Swap!!

    Thanks for the reply! The crank and water pump pulleys line up fine. The issue I am having is with a boss on the Magnum heads that is not on the LA heads. I think I am going to have to fabricate, or live with it's current mounting position. It also looks like your bracket is farther away from...

    Diy - Magnum Swap!!

    I am doing my first Magnum Swap. I am replacing the 273 in my 67 Dart with a 360 Magnum out of a 98 Ram. I am keeping the LA look so I went with the 360 LA timing cover and water pump. The pulleys transferred over just fine but when I tried to mount the alternator using the brackets from the...

    1967 Dodge Dart 270

    Hello All! It's been a while but I have been working on the Dart as I can. Most of the work was working the bugs out of the engine and transmission over the summer while enjoying driving the car. Went to a couple of car shows and cruise-ins. Overall I love it! Now that winter is here in full...
