Well everyone I have returned. I sold the Demon awhile back and bought a 74 Runner clone, have loved the look of them since 73 LOL.
I had big plans for the car then was told in March I have Cancer, so with more time off = less cash I decided to sell her and get something a bit more done.
So I am again the proud owner of an A body, I gotta say I missed this board your one hell of a good bunch.
Anyway I will be needing advice with this car and I know I will get the answers I need here for sure.
So the car is a 72 Dart Swinger with a built 340, I was told the engine is pushing 600hp....still gotta verify that one LOL.
I know I know pics pics pics......

Glad to meet you, I`ll pray for a speedy recovery. Beautiful Swinger don`t know about 600 HP; but the heads look different than all of my SB`s. Wayne
 
Sorry to hear about your health problems but you seem to be dealing with it well.Hmmm,600 hp? You should be able to get some idea when you take it for a boot around the block. That's a lotta ponies.8)
 
Welcome back Ram!You don,t need an A-body to hang with us here!I hope you can get your cancer beat,it,s been done before.600hp you say?We need vids of you letting her go!

P.S I,d ditch that flex fan,they tend to crack and fly off,possibly through your hood or some kind of damage?

Stay cool!8)
 
Thanks guy's glad to be hanging around again. I was a bit unsure about the hp rating as well, but my old Valiant had 425 and I knoe this car can clean it's clock LOL.
Maybe I can scare the canser out of me LOL. One things for sure I have never heard a 340 sound this good and on the way home I had a guy who was positve it was a 440!!!had to show him LOL.
I know what you mean petty about the fan but she runs really cool....but it will be changed.
Also this set up doesn't allow me to hook up the heater, it has no ports in the intake or water pump, doesn't really matter I don't have the heater box anyway LOL.

Hey Al, Craig here.. That looks great!!!!! I would love to see it. and go for a boot!! I to have a scare.. Got a check up including blood work since it has been 3 years.. All was great but my P.S.A. was quite high. Had the finger test by a specialist and he said it felt normal. He is still concerned with the high level so Monday I have to go to Newmarket hospital for a biopsy. It is scary!! Hope all is well with you.. Craig..
 
Fingers crossed for ya Craig, I thought the PSA tests were not as accurate as the finger?
On a side note my DR is a nice tiny asian lady with thin fingers...something for any young guy's to look into when you need it done down the road LOL
If your in the area feel free to stop by..I COULD BE HOME!

Welcome back. I noticed your absence. You don't need a "A" body or a MoPar to be here, just MoPar in the heart.
 
Hey Al,Thanks for the laugh! I would like to introduce you to my Mopar Buddies in Tottenham.They are always glad to have another Mopar guy around! Sounds like you would be at their side with that Beast! 2 of my buds have strokers.. I'm heading there this morning if you are not busy? Having issues with my car,I left it there last weekend. Craig.
 
Hey Al that is an awesome Dart you got there! Best of luck with the health. Stay postive man sometimes that is one of the best remedies. Get out there and enjoy that Dart!8)
