Have you found anywhere with a better price on the adjustable starter than what it sells for at TTI?
Which pan did you go with? Ya know when people mention notching the K member I went and looked on several sites pictures of what people did, and a few cars around town. On 63-64 the K frame is rounder, on later models it has a lip that sticks out an inch or so. I think that is what is getting notched.. OH, and is the drag link gonna clear the new pan too?
I started pulling apart my 64 Dart last week and the new 416 is almost finished. I am going to the Mopars at the strip (cant wait) hope to see more cars and get a few more ideas. Anyway I am going to use the new A body TTI headers and I am thinking I may pitch the power steering in the Dart and get a manual box. I saw that there is an adatpter from several sources. I am not sure what all is need if I go manual, but man it is a tight fit on those headers!
On a side note, I had not worked on my car for a few years, I gotta tell you, with the 727 behind a small block in a 64 Dart it is a &!*^&% just to get the starter out. Man and even the factory manifolds are a pain too when they are rusted on!
Well finished the heads tonight and can sleep a little better, next week end the engine and tranny are comming out, All I have left is the crossmember to unbolt and lift it out. Then I will redo the trans.
Your car dart4forte has gotten me fired up! Oh by the way, I have seen drawings and mods on TTI's site and here too for the crossmember mods for dual ex.
I do not see why I would need to do that on my car? Both sides of the member are very close to the floor now. I do not see what would be gained on my Dart for pipe clearances? Any thoughts on this.. :scratch:
If you look at this picture, mine already looks like the tighter to the floor version on both sides. I wonder if it is becasue at one time when I put in the 4spd? Or mybe it was becasue mine was a factory Calif. GT. It came with dual exh. Very rare, most all Darts were single. I know for a fact becasue I am the 2nd owner, it was my grand mothers Dart. But heck so many years ago I can not remmeber if I picked up a 4spd member or I cut it? But my duals fit fine just the same Man I am getting old... :glasses6: here is the link..
