As some of you know I bought Jim's(Bigcube) Dart a while back and have been marking it mine.
It will have a new gen3 Hemi/904 combo now and will be a well used bracket car now. Just thought
I would share a few pics. I am starting to get a little excited to see how this thing is going to run.

It will weigh in less now with new dash. Light steering column. Fiberglass deck lid. Smaller fuel cell.
439"alum block gen3 Hemi, lt weight protrans 904, smaller radiator, 1 seat, 1 battery with a lot less wire.
New wheels/tires

As with most projects it has grown, but for me that is normal. This is the 1st new Hemi I have been into
looks like it should make some steam, but I know some will not like it because it does not have a distributor (Hi John)

Is that a custom ring pack and is that actual true valve lift with your rocker ratio. Sounds like a killler package. Goodluck

looks awesome, can you get a air filter on under the cowl hood?

Thanks for the encouragement guys

John- ring pack is a total seal # CSH2012 35 .

Forrest- not really enough height for a big air cleaner. I have the shorter manifold too that I may try at some point with a air cleaner that will be a
science experiment.

I always wondered where that car went. Very nice, what wheels did you go with ? The trunk stripe is on backwards, sorry but I had to tell you. Glad it’s going to get used. How long until you get to make passes? Will be curious to see what it runs.👍

and no mention of the mythical unicorn Mopar engine here??? That’s right kids.... you’re looking at a REAL 440 HEMI! The one we’ve all had to endure listening as some 1/2 brain 3/4 race cam nimwit told us of “the one he had back in the day”.... (unable to grab $20 bill off dash option available)
