It's back in storage temporarily. Like Mike said we ended up moving to Japan. I'm working on a big parts list for when I get back.

I modified the mount just like the directions. I think there are just too many variables for it to work perfectly for everyone. It's in and it should work.

I got the engine in for what I'm hoping is the last time. I ended up having to elongate out the holes in the transmission mount to try and get the engine as far forward as possible to keep the oil pump out of the crossmember mount. There is only about an .125" of metal left on the side of the...

I test fit the motor and transmission today today. I ran into a couple fitment issues. The firewall seam needs clearanced for the bellhousing, not a big deal. The other big issue is the oil pump contacts the crossmember, not allowing the motor mount to fully seat. I completely forgot about...

That looks good! It's the pro street clutch I think its called. Good for 450hp.

I installed the clutch and bellhousing today. I found a few other posts showing how they had to modify the driver's header for the z-bar. I can see why now. I'll have to do the same.

I got the scatter shield clearanced. I couldn't take the red next to the hemi orange any longer, lol.

Good news: I got the bell centered to within 0.0025". Bad news: the bellhousing and the header want to share the same space!

I almost went that route until I found this thing.

I got the advanced adapters speedo plug in and installed. Really nice kit, especially for the price.

I'm slowly getting the engine and car closer together. I got the lakewood 15330 bellhousing indicated and ordered up some offset dowel pins from RobbMc. I wasn't able to use the motor plate as the factory dowels are not long enough. Hoping that doesn't change any of the measurements too much. I...

Thanks, I'm hoping so!

Thanks halfafish!

This is something I've been wanting to do for a while now. I painted the steelies body color. I'm really happy with how they turned out.

More progress made this weekend. I got the 4-speed put back together. I'm really happy with the Metallic Dark Metal color I chose for the case.

I've been doing what I can this week on the dart. I build new mounts for the 67 Mustang seats that have been in the car but were just mounted directly to the floor. They are just some simple 3/16 plate built to a similar angle as the factory seat mounts. I also got the trans tunnel cut and the...

Thanks! I was wondering if you were on here.

Awesome build! What brand subframe connectors did you use?

I finished up all the metal work repairs in the engine bay and got it primered and painted tonight.

I have the 4-speed, bell housing and pedal assembly but nothing else yet. Still hoping to avoid buying the rest of the part new.

Thanks! I'm happy with the decision. I haven't full decided yet on the clutch disengagement yet. I'm starting from nothing with the 4-speed conversion and what I am quickly coming to realize is that every single little part for the manual clutch set up adds up quick! Long story short, I'm still...

ready for fire up!

On to the good stuff

Version 1 and 2 of the old turbo set up

The car is a 1972 Dart Swinger that was originally a 318/auto car. I bought the car when I was 16 (2002), where I pulled it out of a horse field where they had been filling the trunk with hay for the horses. I painted the the car Dodge Ram Atlantic Blue for my high school senior project. The...
