Daty, Update.. I took my Dart over to a friends shop to take out the engine/trans. The engine/trans are now out. You know what happens when you start taking things apart? Well, you start saying stuff like: "this isn't going to look right" or "I might as well do this right while it's apart". The whole engine compartment is now bare. The wiring, firewall items, grille, front bumper and everthing is off. This project is going to be almost a full-blown restoration along with the Hemi swap. You end up with a lot of things to do that you didn't think there would be. Anyway, we've pretty much figured out what we're going to do. I'm waiting on new torsion bars so we pull the '74 k-frame out and put the '69 k-frame in. Once the body work is done in the engine bay, we're planning on test-fitting the Hemi the first week of December. Once test-fitted it will come back out so the body/paint work can can continue. The whole car will be re-painted. Hope to have the project complete by late Feb or early March. Hopefully the Mopar Performance engine kit will be here in about a week. The mid-sump oil pan arrived from Street & Performance the other day.
