D4rt
This is my personal project. Some may like it some may hate it.
A little about the car 1965 Dodge Dart. Some small body modifactions to clean up the ugly. Custom coil over front suspension, Flex form composite leaf springs to my specs. rear spring sliders. Ford 9 inch out back. Mini tubed.
Srt4 motor modified. Ported head. big turbo on a custom built twin scroll manifold.Estimated HP for this little motor right at 630 at the wheel. All built right here at Paradise Road Rod & Custom.This build is well on the way to completion. I will post actual pictures a little at a time.
Rendering done by Tavis Highlander.

Mike, Me either. Are you still building the truck? Do you still have the Dart or did you sell it? Originally Posted by Tincup

Yup, still working on the truck, and still have the Dart. Everybody wants it, but no cash out there....

Who could hate 630whp!? Looking forward to the build pics. Will this be raced at all, or has it become too polished and pretty?

That would be correct. The custom badges are a play on words from the srt4 Originally Posted by Oregon

So a quick look at the dash. Dakota Digital universal competition analog will monitor the motor.

Thanks Craig, It has some of your parts on it. I'm using your universal clutch master cylinder, Your push button start and your shift boot.
Still need to get the push button start ordered from you.Last edited by PRRC; 10-28-2016 at 02:30 PM.

As you can imagine using a motor from front wheel drive car and making it rear wheel drive has been trying at times, nothing is bolt on. everything is fabricated. The motor that you see is just a stock take out we are using to get everything mocked up. We had to make everything. from the oil pan to to the intake and exhaust manifolds. We are doing some spray outs tonight to get the color dialed in as close to the rendering as possible. Still a little ways to go before we see paint. But we are close.

What bellhousing and transmission are you using? Also, who makes that seriously wicked merge with the integrated WG port?
