My 74 Dart (The Bondo Bucket)

-
The Dart is still around. Plans changed a lot in the time since my last post. Decided to go Gen 3 Hemi. Lots of part collecting and figuring things out. Trying to keep it a low budget build as much as possible. 2014 5.7 and going to run my 727 trans for now.

I was able to pick up a Hemi longblock for cheap. It’s a truck engine that had a camshaft failure. Customer decided to put in a new engine so I was able to get the old core engine. Engine was still in great shape - cylinder walls and camshaft bearings look good. My son and I did some cleaning and painting on the block and timing cover. This being a core meant I had to come up with a lot of missing parts. I decided to go with the truck timing cover and accessories due to them being a little cheaper and to give me more room for the alternator.
