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)

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.
