6t3gt, have you considered a Magnum engine swap? I put a '70 318 out of a Cuda into my '69 dart in place of the 225 /6 and I'm not impressed in the slightest. I am in the process of putting in a magnum 360 into the dart and these things are more powerful than any la small block by far with a few...
I wish you wouldn't say anything negative about magnumswap.com when it was put up by one of our fellow members and has been EXTREMELY helpful to me.
I never said anything negative about Magnumswap.com. I was just looking for more info and everyone just kept referring me to that site that...
Haha, tig welding is easy in theory but very tricky. Mig welding is for monkey's lol. Thanks to everyone for your tips and advise. I'll be delving into this swap around March or April to avoid the hell on earth that is the summer in Phoenix. Never let anyone talk any of you into moving here, yes...
Thx mderoy, I've researched a ton of sites. This is my favorite. Everyone on here is awesome and has great experience. This old dart was bought new by my great grandmother so I will have it forever. I just want to do it right. Magnumswap.com helps greatly if you are a seasoned motor vet, but...
Again, I hear all of you guys say that using the search function will help me in my research..... wrong. I've tried every combo of a magnum swap or 5.9 swap and only get a few threads. So, a few hands on accounts will help a lot more than a few suggestions to the search engines and God forbid...
My question is what tourqe converter do I or can I use? Please stop the hype of Magnumswap.com. They provide a lot of info, but not enough to pertain to every application.
Yeah, I'm thinking about throwing in a mild cam for a little better performance and some lope. Hell, the more I think about it I may pull the heads, check for cracks and do some mild porting myself. I'm an aerospace tig welder, I may be able to repair the cracks myself.
Tried the searching, not much I could find. Maybe terrible keywords? 5.9 magnum swap? Seems good for me. What I've found is that a problem may lie with intake choices for carberated Magnumswap. I plan on keeping the magnum heads untouched, maybe replace the head gaskets but cracks are not a...
I'm sticking with the rebuilt 904 that is mated to the 318 that is in the dart. I drive the jeep daily and it runs like a raped ape. Has 196k miles on it too. The jeep is a rust bucket from Canada, so robbing such a rare vehicle of it's engine doesn't bother me much. It is my daily driver so I...
Just got the dart for a Xmas present. I have a great running 1998 jeep grand Cherokee 5.9 litre with 195,000 miles on it. Just wondering how hard it would be to swap the 360 into the dart.
Lol! I can't wait until I'm @ this point of my build, I'll be in the same 360 boat:). But why a duster? Other than it being in the family, or cheap... it's the equivalent of a dodge neon today, ugly, and not worth ****. Lol. Unless it's a Demon;)
