Been lurking for a a bit and a couple showed interest in my build.
Here is a synopsis of what has taken place so far.
I sold my 98 Z28 and went the old school route with a 71 Dart.
Went with a Dart because my first car was a 74 and I beat the hell out of that /6 and it just laughed at me.
Little did I know at the time but it was the beginning of Mopar fanaticism.


Stock 1974 318 motor
904 torqueflight
8 3/4 rear
MP T70 .68 AR
X02 50mm Wastegate
X02 50mm Blow off valve
Edelbrock headers flipped
Aeromotive A1000
Aeromotive 13202 regulator
10 AN feed and return fuel lines
20gal aluminum fuel cell.
Custom cluster
Converted to manual steering floor shift
B&M Mega shifter
sub frame connectors
Custom hot side exhaust piping
Custom cold side piping
Extreme velocity carb hat
Custom built 4150 750cfm carb for blow through.
Vent tube extensions
Battery relocated to the trunk.
22" 2 core Aluminum radiator and custom fan shroud.
16" 2200 cfm electric fan.









How it looked when I first got it.

Its only keeping the sleeper beat up sh!t box look till this winter.
Then we are going to start a frame off restoration and go the pro touring route with it.

Mini tub, possibly doing a tubular K member and getting rid of the torsion bars. The torsion bars will have to go at some point or I'm stuck with a 3 inch down pipe off the turbo.

Still working on tuning and hammering the kinks out.

We locked the timing at 26 then took it out to have some fun.
It runs good for what it is.
Unhooked the line to the waste gate that was helping it blow off at 5psi and took it for a spin.
Just running on the smallest spring that came with the X02 waste gate and we got 12lbs of boost.
Going to have to drill out the power valve more and play with the timing before it will run at 12lbs.
It was a fun test at least.




She is a pooch until the boost builds then it takes off and there is no holding it back.

that thing is cool as hell! Not to be nosy or anything but ive thought about a turbo setup on my dart, about how much did it cost for the fuel system and turbo setup.
Once again, cool car

Here is a video for you guys.





And here is what the fuel system consists of.
The fuel system will support 1000hp with forced induction. My goal is to hit 600hp or more when i build the 360 that i have set a side.


I've got $5600 into the car for the turbo system and the few other things i have done.
Keep in mind there is no kit for this and everything was done in house.

It could have been done cheaper but I built it so I wouldn't ever have to redo it... hopefully.
