Looks good! Much better and now It has some protection. Did you wind up sanding between coats?

Thanks for the info. Looks like it turned out great. You had a nice car to start with also

Steve can you give me your thoughts on the bed liner you used. What did you use ? How did you like it? Was it a spray? And my car has some factory undercoat on the inner fenders. Thinking I should remove all the undercoating down to bare metal. Glad your making some progress!

The system definitely has its issues. But I’ve owned a Ram without MDS and got about 10 MPG. So I definitely helps. Especially the newer trucks with the 8 speed trans. I hate that they have these issues cause they are strong performing engines. Our trucks and cars are big and heavy and still run...

So what truck did you go to ?

This is what I do for a living since 2010 for a Chrysler dealer. Lifter rollers fail and seize up causing damage to cam lobe. Problem is all that metal has to go somewhere. First thing we do is remove intake manifold and remove and inspect the oil control valve. If it’s full of metal we don’t go...

Sorry to hear I know you have waited a long while to purchase those. That’s my kind of luck unfortunately!

Tried to search this but no luck. What exactly is the difference between a spool mount six and v8 k-frame ? Is it possible to cut the mounts off the frame and reweld into the proper locations ? Looking for someone who has done this before. Thanks

Sounds like a job for moparmat2000 down in Texas

Yes I watch his channel also. Very good metal work / fabricator guy. Does some pretty cool stuff also. Hellcat swaps did a couple turbo big block station wagons for customers. Also sure his neighbors must love him. His house looks like it’s in a regular subdivision lol

That’s is a cool pic. At least you have one to drive and have fun with while working on the other

Those are awesome! First time I’ve seen your cars!

Didn’t you have a green duster?

Cool car! Reminds me a lot of my Dart. I bought it in 07 and sold it in 2013. Got it back in Dec. 2016

Sounds cool! What did you use for engine paint? Color looks nice. Yep in Dallas / Acworth very familiar with 278 and Thornton. Gets hectic on there sometimes lol

Looks great! Do you have a build thread on this ?

They put the 2.4 in Jeep liberty’s also. Don’t remember what years exactly but it was the old body style. Have done a few timing belts on them

I hear you. I have a 19 year old a 14 year old and an 11 month old so that stalled my project for sure. Good luck with the build !

Looks great so far! I know it’s feels good to get something done

Yep exactly. Sounds like you have everything u need.

I have scamp taillights on my Dart right now. It’s the center trim panel that is different length. U will need to get the Plymouth center chrome panel to match perfect.

Thanks again for all the responses. I should also mention that this time around the Dart won't be my primary driver. I bought my wife a nice suv for the family 2 years ago and i have an older pickup to get me back and forth. So if it took me a couple weeks to knock out a small project its no big...

Thank you guys for your responses. My fear is tearing it down and it never getting done and me getting fed up with it. Even though it isn't a show car it always made me fell great to drive it! Would like to have it completely redone , but thats not possible right now. Thanks Again

Im looking for some advice from guys who have been through this before. Im not sure which direction i should go with my car. ( here's backstory on my car) I bought my 74 Dart back in 07. Daily drove it until i sold it in 2013. It is a deff. project car and i wasn't able to do much more than...

Yep those are aftermarket.

O.K. thats good news. You should be getting a replacement longblock. There is no shortblock available at this time. Have seen this issue several times, issue at the engine plant breaking rings while installing piston assemblys. There is a STAR case on this issue. You can tell the dealer that...

I agree this is "normal oil consumption " now. Chrysler says 1 quart per 1000 miles in a vehicle with less than 40,000 miles is ok and 1 quart per 750 miles is ok on vehicle over 40,000 starting with the 2014 models. That is hard to tell a customer. Most of the new small engines run 0w20 which...

Powertrain warranty is 5 year 100,000 till 2016 model year then it dropped to 5 year 60,000. Except on diesel models, its still 5/100

If you have the turbo then it is a 1.4l mulit-air engine. That is a Fiat designed engine and believe it or not other than some faulty turbos early on, we have not had any issues out of that engine. They do not have oi lconsumption issues that i have seen. They dont make a lot of power but seem...

FCA is Fiat Chrysler Automoblies ( The new Chrysler) lol. No info released to the public, just some STAR cases ( our technical assistance center). Just tell the dealer that it is consuming oil and stalling. The multi-air assembly uses oil pressure to actuate the intake valves, if oil pressure...
