Thanks! Yes that is indeed my car. I was pleased at how the spread came out as well. Never ever expected to be featured in a magazine!

That color really pops with the filters!

The higher LSA will provide higher vacuum and smoother idle and will have a broader power curve over a lower LSA cam. The lower LSA will have a choppier idle and typically you can’t run power brakes due to low vacuum. The lower LSA will tend to have a more “peaky” power curve. There are more...

Feb 2019 will be the issue fellas! Should be available in the next few weeks!

Thanks! More info about it here 1969 Dodge Dart: Evolutionary Dart - Hot Rod Network

Yup I’ve hated that pump since day 1. Debating what to do. Not sure if I want to keep the cell I have or get a different one altogether. I’d really like to free up the trunk space and get a whisper quiet pump while I’m at it.

That is one crispy throttle bro!

.645” lift roller 266/[email protected] 106 LSA. Idles around 1100-1200 rpm in neutral. Not very smooth anywhere in the lower rpm range.

I agree. When I get the engine bay repainted I will black that out.

Thanks everyone!!! I’ve received a lot of ideas, support, and inspiration from the site and the car turned out as well as it did being here learning from other people and their builds. So a big thanks to all you guys and gals here!

My Ford Ranger has a 4 banger. My Ram 1500 quad cab has a 5.7. You’d think the Ranger would be the go to vehicle for gas mileage right? Well around town yes but on the highway, not so much. I’ve had as bad as 17 mpg out of the Ranger before with a head wind. My RAM usually gets 19-20 and has a...

Here’s the write up on my Dart. I don’t have much to say but wow. It’s an honor to be chosen for a feature. The pictures and story came out great. Some things aren’t correct but that’s to be expected. 1969 Dodge Dart: Evolutionary Dart - Hot Rod Network

MT 315 Pro Radial (30”)

Exactly! I run a 4.56 gear 2500 rpm at 75 mph. I can drive to the track, make 10 sec passes all day and drive it home.

Put in an A518 or something, 3.90 gears, and you’d be all set for both worlds.

Cruised around last night again with a couple buddies. They grabbed a couple unplanned shots driving down the road and with a little touch up, they turned out great considering he just stuck his phone out the window and snapped them.

Took my first cruise on the highway tonight. Being able to run this kind of rpm down the road is amazing while still being able to click off a 10 sec 1/4 and fill it at the pump.

I do get a lot of comments on the color asking what it is because they like it on the car and they’ll say “don’t change it!”. It originally was supposed to be an ‘05 Ford Mustang color is what I was told. Unfortunately when it was repainted from the collision last year, their mix came out a...

Mostly for looks. You’ll see a lot of cars that have had new wheels put on in the last few years that are running 17” front runners instead of 15” anymore. Also compare a 15” street lite to a 17” street lite. Night and day difference in looks.

Wow that’s absurd!!! Base price here is around $600 and it goes up from there depending on type of steel, swingout bars, etc.

They are Billet Specialties Street Lites. 15x10 rear 3.5” backspacing, 17x4 front I had it custom made for the car. The side bars swing out and are removeable, as well as the cross bar which is removeable for easy access to the rear seat. It was all less than $1K to have done.

Yep there’s an HDK coilover swap with rack and pinion, mustang II 2” drop spindles, and Wilwood Dynalite hubs and disks. Lol I don’t know about that!

Thanks! It’s been 10.40’s but I doubt I’ll see that again. Will be adding some weight and put in a less performance oriented lockup converter for added rpm drop on the highway. But it should still run good and be a whole different car to drive!

Couple short vids getting it started and first test drive

The Dart is back together with the exception of exhaust. Cleaned it up for an appraisal so I could get some insurance and I’m pleased with the way it turned out. 417 motor, new 200-4R transmission with FTI 4500 stall lockup converter, new Dana 60 rear with Art Morrison ladder bars and diagonal...

I had an ‘84 Laser like that but turd brown. You’re right. The torque steer was crazy in that thing! When it ran, it ran good! But it had so many faulty sensor issues on the engine. I’d keep replacing them and then another would fail or the same one would go out. But for a car that was built in...

That is sweet! Now I'm wanting one!

Lol that cracks me up!

My tires needed changed so I decided to give them a send off in the best way I could think. Burnout would have been longer but traffic showed up right in the middle of the burnout so I had to abort.

That third brake light does not go with the car either
