1968 Dodge Dart
440 six pack/727 auto/Dana 60 4:11 posi project car
Here we have a 1968 Dodge Dart that I recently took in as
partial payment against another Mopar that I had . Originally it was a Dart 270
but it now it has a 440 motor with the famed six pack set-up and a 727 auto
trans with a Dana 60 in the rear with a posi and 4:11 gears. And the car is
supposed to be set up by a NASCAR DRIVER/MECHANIC but I cannot prove or
disprove that statement. But as you can see there is some high dollar parts
that go with this car as it was set-up to simply be a cool go-fast car and that
is it. It is NOT A SHOW CAR but it is a cool looking car with the right motor
and a really nice interior but the body work is amateurish with a few waves and
misaligned body lines. So if you are looking for perfection you should keep
looking but if you are just looking for a cool go fast car this just might be
the one.
Now let me tell you a little more about the car in detail.
First off the color is sublime green with a black tail stripe and a black
six-pack hood. All new suspension painted and powder coated, Nascar style
3-piece sway bar up front (will need a front end alignment), All new front disk
brakes with chrome hard lines and steel braided flex lines at each wheel, 11”
performance drums in the back with New shocks both front and rear with the rear
being air shocks, A narrowed Dana 60 with a 4:11 posi rear gear and 35 Spline
Moser billet axles with top links on axle tubes to help prevent axle wrap,
A rebuilt manual reverse pattern valve
body 727 with a deep aluminum racing tranny pan and a new 3500 Boss hog stall
converter with a new B&M pistol grip
ratchet shifter, The battery was moved to the rear of the car but the battery
box was made to look like a piece of luggage and not just a ugly battery box.
Most of the bolts have been replaced with stainless steel or ceramic chromed,
Has frame connecters that are welded in and the whole underbody is undercoated,
The fuel tank is clean and ready for fuel and I has a sump with a Edelbrock
quiet electric fuel pump(relayed switch is under the dash for on or off with
key ignition.
It is also wearing brand new Coker red line tires stretched
over brand new(painted to match) wheels with deep dish on the rear(215 up front
and 255 for the rear and 15x8 front and 15x10 rear ). As for the interior it
has new carpet, new windshield, new wood
grain steering wheel and a hidden master
power switch under the dash with removable key but sorry no radio.
Under the hood has also been prepped for the motor and as
you can see it has a all aluminum
radiator with a stainless steel shroud and electric fan set-up(thermal
activated switch with override under dash)
and a stainless overflow tank. New wiring harness, Now for the motor it
is a early 70s 440 with rebuilt like new 906 six pack heads that have been
ported and have larger manley valves, springs and retainers, The rods are Childs
& Albert billet rods. As for the pistons
they are new 30 over forged trw domed pistons (11:1) with a new hydraulic
purple .531 cam and new comp lifters plus a New double roller timing chain. It
also has a new aluminum water pump, New oil pan with a new high volume oil
pump, New chrome balancer , Chrome one wire alternator with the brackets,
Aluminum pulleys and Mopar aluminum valve covers, msd distributor and all arp
studs (heads and mains), and all the
gaskets needed for assembly of the motor. And to sit on top of this monster is
an aluminum six-pack intake with holley carbs (2-350 cfm and 1- 500 cfm
modified to fit the six pack intake so now all 3 carbs have metering blocks and
power valves for better tuning) . The
block will need machining and the crank will need to be turned(neither have
been turned or bored) So that is what
this car has to offer. Like I said earlier it is not a show car but just a cool
go fast car that is about 90% complete but needs to be put back together by
somebody looking for that cool, cool car.
Please ask any and all questions before bidding on this car as there is
no warranty or guarantees on this car.( after all it is a 45 year old car) Either you can call me at 231-206-5258 my name is Kirk
or email me thru ebay’s ask seller a
question. Well good luck if you bid on my car………………..see-ya

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.

It's easy to play the "Would you rather have a New X or an Old Y with a bunch of upgrades?" game more often than we care to admit, but the crew at Car and Driver have taken bench racing to the next level with their latest video. In it, the magazine pits a brand-new 2014 SRT Viper against a highly modified 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. There are 16 years between the time this particular GTS rolled off the production line and when the new car bowed, but that doesn't mean the old snake's owners have been sitting on their hands.
Thanks to a spate of modifications, the GTS offers up a better power to weight ratio than the new machine, but is that enough to overcome the technological leap forward represented by the 2014 Viper? We won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to check out the full clip below for yourself.

The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
