Dart build

By: Doug 07/11/2021

Bought the car in Arkansas stripped for Drag racing with a weak 340 and wore out 727 trans. I wanted to build a Pro street style car that was street legal so I ended up pulling both and taking the motor to a local car builder in Oklahoma called DCR racing. We installed a 416 Scat Stroker kit with ICON pistons along with fully ported Edelbrock heads and intake. The Trans went to Pioneer Trans in Commerce OK where he did a complete rebuild installing a Cope racing reverse manual valve body with Transgo internals. While the car was apart I decided the old front suspension had to go so I installed a QA1 K member along with upper and lower control arms and matching adjustable shocks all the way around. After finally getting it all together I couldn’t deal with manual steering so I purchased the $@@? power steering setup ( Highly recommend ) After that I decided the old Demon carb had to go and decided on the Holley XFlow along with the complete Hyperspark system. I’m so glad I went with this system due to making it Start run and drive like a complete different car! I’m now learning the EFI system and will be hitting the Dyno real soon!!
