I got the engine /trans/rear end for upgrade, someone dumped a load of cash on it and never even started it. I think they are friggin cool. I also like black cars, and 340's, so I won in a few ways. 1969 Dart GTS 340 1969 Super Bee X9 N-96 1969 Coronet R/T X9 N-96 2015 Dodge Dart GT 2019 Ram 2500 Big Horn.

Just an FYI you may already know....if you want to put duals on that, just move the gas tank over to center it, there's enough fuel filler tube in there to do it. Good luck.

I really haven't done much except buy another transmission and move the car a couple times. I just wanted to move this thread over the Bee thread to annoy Shoozy...

I have had lots of fun with these and the Dusters. I have a 1980 Mirada that I love cruising around in. It's a real Frankenstein: A-body headers, Brake booster from a K car station wagon, Ford 8.8 rear with sure grip and 3.73:1 gears out of 1998 Explorer, A518 nonlockup from 1991 one ton van, and 5.9 Magnum from 2000 Durango R/T. Love the efi. Hard to beat the factory tune. Hop in, hit the key, drop into gear and rip. It's everything the car should have been. Now that I'm an old dude, I also appreciate the AC. Would love to add a blower kit someday. Also built one up for Father-in-Law: 383B, 727 & 8.75 rear. Had to weld in frame connectors on this one. Used B-body headers. Also put in a hydroboost power brake assist from an Astro.
