68 dart 440

Car looks awesome! I'm really liking it, especially the stripe. I understand what your going for with the filters, but are they inline with each other? Looks like the pass side is farther forward than the drivers.

ya they are offset, its how they were made

[Bjkadron]

Yeah, I saw that one from the other thread... But I still think Mine looks better! haha.

Nice ride - I dig everything but still can't get past the filters sticking up - if there were some kind of ram air scoop it would put it over the top for me. (just my .02)

Love the build - great job!

Its the design of the intake manifold(s). They're offset.

how does it run with the intake like that? like the green. nice dart

[joe440]

thanks, coudln't be happier with how it runs. throttle response is instant. when crusing at 20 or so and put it to the floor is when you feel the most power. you wouldnt believe how many mopar know it all guys tried telling me how bad its gonna run and it wont ever start cause the intakes will be to cold out there with out the heat exchangers on it (i cut them off). so to them, :bsjerk:. haha

heat pipes (or stove pipes), like coolant lines in the intake, are for quicker warm ups and better emissions. but for a car like yours, they aren't neccessary.

[joe440]

ya i know, it isnt exactly my winter beater haha

[joe440]

put a new exhaust in, went smooth for the most part but didnt end up using the front peice for each side cause my old exhaust lined up with it and i had a 2 bolt header flange not 3 which is what the kit gives. deffanitly putting my other mufflers back on, very upset with the ones they give you. still gotta line them up in the back and trim one side of the tail pipe back. may even cut them back a foot or so and just put two 90 degree bends shooting down and out

[joe440]

after three different pairs of mufflers went back to the 40 series, still my favorite sounding. click the picture to see the video

[joe440]

changed up the radiator neck, had it moved over to the side so i could fit a bigger fan and changed the thermostat. car is running 10 times better, stays at about 180-185, barely breaking 195 sitting in traffic for 10 minutes the other day. still would like to find a shroud for it though. also going to be changing the oil pan.


got a new camera the other day, just testing it out.

[wellis77]

No stripe yet Joe?

[joe440]

im getting the car wet sanded and buffed next week before i bring it to florida so im going to wait till after thats done. i already have it made up.

[wellis77]

Can't wait to see it. Car is looking real good!

[Bjkadron]

either that camera is magic, Or your Car looks AWESOME!!! I'm guessing the latter.

Looking great!

[joe440]

thanks, there maybe some magic in that camera i dont know haha. the photo isnt altered or anything i barely know how to use it

[twosaturns]

I wouldn't be messin w/ such a large fan, just get an electric, IMO.

No, I'm pretty sure it is the car. Though that is really nice image quality. What kind of camera is it? Also, I just now noticed the little "drilled" plug-wire separators/supports. That is really cool!
