the car looks amazing

 

This is easily a future magazine cover car. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the finished product.

 

thanks guys, and 72RDRNR i actually ordered those same ones in black and they were to tall, idk why they say stock height cause the factory ones are about 3 inch and those were 3 1/2
but more clearence now, tightened up the torsion bars

 

what valve covers are you gonna go with?

 

the stock ones, chrome

 

nice

 

test fit, everything is good, just gotta grind some extra metal off the front of the master cylinder for some more clearence

 

did you port and polish the intake?

 

im in the progress of that, there still is some sanding to do before i polish them

 

 

I like how the coil is set up. Looking good!

 

SWEET JESUS THAT CAR IS NICE.

 

the engine looks awsome with the green all around it

 

This may have already been asked, but where did you come across the intake?? That thing looks badass in the dart.

 

one of my dads buddy had them in his garage for like 20 years and had no need for them anymore, so i picked them up for $200

 

well i chromed the valve covers today, put them in the copper for about 2 hours to try and fill some of the pits. they came out good enough considering you barely see them and they're 40 years old haha

 

lookin' good!

 

after i read this comment and looked at it, i realized how high it is. then went out into the garage and checked if it would clear and sure enough it doesnt haha. im just gonna make some L shaped brackets to move it forward and down. thanks for saying something better now then when the hoods going on haha

 

got the exaust tips in, want it to come out something like this

 

Are you going to have it on both sides or just the one?

 

both, they look like this

 

kind of like the six-pack 340 look

 

ya these tips are actually made for the 70's cudas

 

 

hey, I think those long ram manifolds are the rare ones. Notice the split part doesnt go the whole length of the runner, they only go about half way {that trough on the top}. That type only came through in the last of the long ram years and only for a short time. [they raised the rpm of the peak torque point]

Can anybody back me up on this or am I crazy? [i might have old-timers]

 

Lookin friggin awesome man!!!

 

thanks, and ya your right. these intakes are good up to about 5800rpm compared to the full length runners which was only somewhere in the mid 3000rpm range. i didnt know that when i got them either, just got lucky with them, then found out about that on the forabodiesonly website

 

maybe too late, but check out the gilmer belt drive kits...

 

lookin so good, I can't wait to see this thing all done

 

the chrome valve covers go great with all the other chrome stuff
