Jim's '64 Dodge Dart - Altered Wheel Base - 440 V-8 with Cross Ram !

Guys, Here is a thread on a car that my frien Jim is building for himself. It is a '64 Dodge Dart that has had the wheelbase altered. The rear axle is 10 inches forward of stock and the front is a Dodge A-100 axle moved forward 6 inches. The mill is a 440 V-8 with two Edelbrock carbs on the factory Cross Ram intake. The trans is a push ****on Torque Flight. Rear axle is a 8 3/4 Dodge.

If there is any interest I will take some pictures as he progresses.

Dave

 

Hell YES.

 

BJR, Yah, I know what you mean. I can only see Jim every other Fri. So as long as you guys like what you see, I will update it every other Fri.

Dave

 

Very nice. 64 Darts look wicked with awb.

 

That's cool. You sure it's a 64? That's a 63 grille.

 

Looks like a nice start to a cool project. Updates are vary welcome.

 

Guys, Thanks for the comments. I will update on 3 Feb. It's hell to have to wait 14 days . . .

Dave

 

Very cool!

 

I agree with Dave..."very cool"!

 

I can't wait for the next set of pics....

 

a friend of mine p***ed in november he started to AWB a 64 dart with a 440 soooo i now have the car going to continue with his mission when i get caught up with my other projects, look forward to see more!!good luck

 

Love those ugly early sixties Mopars! They scream drag race!

 

Is there A frame under those car's? I am not a mopar guy but love any hot rod.
I am interested in how you alter wheel base.
Thank's
Terry

 

Terry, Not a Mopar guy, but let me take a stab at it. If you are talking about the factory "K" member - yes this car does have one. The front of the subframe is extended for the mounts for the springs for the front axle.

How I do ?

Dave

 

Looks sweet !!

 

Oh man Im a ****er for big block Darts, that was my very first car a O/T 69 dodge dart factory 383 four speed

 

First time I've ever seen spring mounts outside the sheet metal. That's a very cool Dart!

 

Guys, Here is the Mar 5th update on Jim's AWB Dart. He has the 440 sitting in the six banger crossmember. There is a guy on EBAY who makes mounts for a big block mill in the Dart six banger crossmember. Jim still needs to move the mill around a little bit.

Dave

 

Wicked!!! Always good to see more AWB projects happening. He'll need to build himself a set of fender well headers to complete the look. Love those long ram intakes.

 

Here is only other pix I have for Mar 5th. Will be uploading more when Jim has time to work on the Dart.

Dave

 

This thing is AWESOME!!

 

Heck yes!!! That's one BAD looking Dart!

 

Man, that is cool! Is a '63 grille though.

 

I have always loved fender well 4 barrels!

 

Thanks for the update.

 

Sweet, always good to see another Mopar going together!

 

Keep the updates and pictures coming .............

 

Guys, Thanks so much for the positive feedback. Glad that you are enjoying the photos on Jim's AWB build.

Dave
