LOVE the cross ram, especially how the air cleaners poke out each side of the hood ..different....................not a fan of the wheels but everything else is perfect

 

[joe440]

ya people either love or hate the wheels,i understand. just wanted a more modern and pro touring look and just something different than every dart i see

Very cool Joe, I dig the wheels , as well as the rest of the car. Are those 440 Source Heads? If so, how do you like them? And where was the picture taken on the beach, Daytona?

thanks guys, and yes those are 440source stealth heads. Absolutely love them, bolt on very easy and work great. Haven't had any problems with them. The picture on the the beach is at New Smyrna Beach. I had the car down there in November for the don garlits show and the turkey run.

runs great. during the time i was building it, i had so many people telling me it'll run like a dog cause of the intakes and will have all these problems cause of them. I really cant complain at all about how it runs, throttle response is dead on. Believe it or not it only has 263rwhp and 363ft lbs dyno tested. The motor wasnt built for drag racing or nothing like that just wanted a nice cruiser. You would never think it only has that much power by the rubber i lays down!

love the car, but the wheels are not my taste. really like the cross ram setup. years ago we raced a 71 duster with a 440, and yes it would dust. have fun.

Way cool !!

I had one or 2 each of every year Dart up to 1971.

My last was a 1971 with a built up 440/Hemi 4 speed/4:30 posi.

Love the intake, I had one but never used it :-(
