**Twin Turbo 67 Dart Project**

Looks like the pass side wants to go straight thru the heater motor.Why not run it into the interior and heat the car too,lol!

No I bought these here: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TRD-4695/

I will be making my own SOLID MOTOR MOUNTS though! I raised the engine about a 1/4". When doing this swap from a 6 to an 8 the motor mount on the passenger side is ALOT thicker than the Solid Motor mounts you can buy. Sooooooo the solution to that problem is to make my own!

That's funny!:-D

My 70 Dart gets warm enough inside with TTI Headers on it. I never use the blower motor.

Heater/Blower??? Plenty of hot air coming from the drivers seat area. :-D

Looks good Louis!
 
Man, you sure are moving on this project. I guess if I had a man-cave like yours, I'd spend a lot more time in it. You better put a good seat in it so you don't snap your neck.
 
that lower column bearing, the one they don't make anymore, is gonna be toast.

check into an after market column, I know theres a couple that make nice billlet [or billet looking] columns for that car.

lookin good brougham!

I am doing ok for a Half Breed I think!!!


Well I was thinking the same thing. Since that last piece is only tacked in I thought about re routing it more toward the firewall. I need to rework the area is all. I will build a shield around it after I move it and if that doesn't work I will just cut if off and weld in a UJOINT section right there.....haaaaaaaaa:-D:-D
 
Man you are doing some awsome work! If I could make one suggestion though. I would ad a v-band just past the elbow on your down pipes so you will be able to remove them easily to change your sparkplugs.
 
awsome build, want front row seat when you go to change plugs, probably wont be much fun.....great looking work.....awsome...first class

question, and please dont bite my head off, why didnt you go to the rear of the car with the turbos....considering how tight these little cars are in the front....

we are mounting ours behind the rear axle but we dont have the stock location fuel cell, our intercoolers will be inside the trunk area.....we are using vgt's from late model Dodge Rams with 6.7L....rebuilt and modified

by the way have a new lower column bearing/bushing, that im not using, came with my alterktion kit, yours if you need it, will only sit in my toolbox, we are using a stock car style column

mine is for a 65 Dart....if anybody needs, its there.....will never be use....rather give to someone who needs it then have it sit in my box....
thanks

I already addressed the plug issue guys. The pictures are deceiving, an 8" extension and a swivel takes care of the plugs easily!

Addressed Here: in POST 39

Mad Dart: Anyway I got home today and the spark plugs will go in without any other modifications. I need to use an extension with a swivel on the end is all....

Hey Mad Dart, I was kinda trolling through your topic as I want to do the same thing you did here to my 68. Anyways I was thinking why not run a driveshaft run alternator? depending on what you intend doing with your car this might be a good option to deal with the clearence issues with your turbo setups.

I plan on basically what you've done here but I want to put an irs system in the rear and do a kind of road race chassis.
 
HOLY ****!!! Mad Dart, You crazy SOB!!! Nice work, I am JEALOUS!!! Awesome fab skills!!! Might have to come over one day to check it out!!!
 
I love the idea of running the shorty headers, and re-routing the exhaust under the motor mount and back up to the hot side of the turbo.

This is very ingenius, and solves several situations where people have to make compromises, plus you get the flow of a tubular headers over a log.

Impressive.
