Major Transformation! Dodge Dart saved from rusty death with Hemi and budget body work!

Man Even with modern hemi, Managing to make it sound like that is music to my ears Long live the V8 ✊

[@restoreitralph]

Thank you! It really does have an old school sound with that camshaft but with all of the modern Hemi benefits!

Cool swap

[@restoreitralph]

Thank you!

This is giving me some serious Four Eyes energy. Keep it up!

LoL- I've got a '69 Swinger 340 that came out of west, central Texas. It sat out there since '81-'82...but very, very solid! Thus far, it's gotten subframe connectors, torque boxes, A-pillar/inner fender braces, mini-tubs/spring re-location kit, and a thick core support kit with the 26" radiator opening. Very cool Ralph

[@restoreitralph]

Thanks! Yours sounds like it will be a bad unit when it’s done!

[@olikat8]

@@restoreitralph Thanks; it's a here & there project. I did email you about M-body pucks, I'll send you a set for free- my buddy's shop is CNC'ing me some

[@restoreitralph]

@ very cool!

[@Schleprockification]

Love the exhaust note

[@restoreitralph]

Thanks! I’m so glad I put that camshaft in it 👍

[@apocolypse11]

The mind-blowing part is that more people should be doing this. Ls community figure this out decades ago. Mopor guys decades behind 😂

[@restoreitralph]

It’s definitely worth the work, for a long time I think the cost of a good Hemi held it back too. I love it!

Growing up near famous, now gone, Riverside Raceway, I am a fan of cars that can handle! Saw Dan Gurney, Mark Donohue, etc. there. Even David Hobbs.

[@restoreitralph]

That is killer!

[@nkcwilliams]

How did you run the gauges on the dash? Did you run stock ones with the hemi?

[@restoreitralph]

My cluster was not in good shape, my gauges are a mix of new/used Stewart Warners and a Speedhut tach on the dash.
