Arnoud his Dart 440

Hello all

I`m Arnoud 28 years old from The Netherlands. And 3 years ago I bought a 1974 Dodge Dart Swinger. At that time it still had the slant six engine but was registered as a V8. Because of that I had to either change to a V8 to pass MOT or get the vehicle registration certificate changed to a normal 6 cilinder.

I think that you can allready quess that I bought a 440 engine out of a chrysler and am now in the process of sticking that into my DART.

As usual that is not as easy as it it said to be so therfor some modification need to be made stil.

I recently bought a Tunnel Ram from Ivor to fit on my 440 for a little WOW factor.

And I`m now trying to piece together to puzzle of the missing engine part such as what cam spec and stall converter should I use with the Tunnel Ram ?? ?

I hope that some of you can help me out with some advice and maybe also some parts I need. And I will post pics of my development with the car as I get further along.

First here are some pics of the car as how it wass when I bought it.

And now some pictures with new wheels and tyres.

And how the car has to end up like (sort of)

I hope to learn alot here and help people out where ever I can.

Nice project, stuffing a 440 into that should be fun. What are you going to do for exhaust?
