Hello to all,
Well my first car was a 72 Dart Swinger 318 auto, then came a 72 Demon, and then a 71 Challenger R/T. I left the Mopar scene and recently have been playing with engine swapped RX7s. I have one with a 3.8 V6 and T5 from a 98 Camaro and another with a 392c.i. SB2 headed SBC backed by a 4 speed Jerico.
But most recently I picked up a 74 Swinger with 34,000 miles. It lived it's entire life in Pennsylvania so rust has had it's way with the body, but the underside is solid in the critical areas. I've been poking around here for the last week absorbing some great information, so far I have found that not only is it a disc brake car with a front sway bar but it appears to have the 8 1/4" differential. Now for some pics,
I'm not sure yet what I will do with the car. I would like to swap in a 4 speed and get the suspension set up for road racing but I will probably just cruise it around as is. At some point I may sell it but not before I enjoy it some.
Also, if someone is bored enough I would like to get the build sheet decoded.
Thanks, Matt
