Hello Benjamin! Thanks for the info. I was researching on rear ends and I think I saw the Aspen info on For A Bodies Only. I have also considered an 8.8 out of an exploder. I have the 7.25 Suregrip in the Dart at the moment and I am pretty sure it will hold up if I don't beat the crap out of it. Good to know the Aspen 8.25 isn't just plug and play.

@@MontsweagGarage yeah the 7.25 is not bad. I beat on mine with the 318. The main thing is too much tire will get you. The 8.8 is probably the best value for a real beefy rear though.

Is yours open or a Suregrip? I want to make a pass or two down the local dragstrip but don't want to dump rear end oil over all over the track. lol.

@@MontsweagGarage The original was open. The volare has a suregrip. Never been on the drag strip just the street.

@benjaminkadron I was just curious. I appreciate the info! Thanks.

She's warming up to the MOPAR thing. She'd rather be working on a VW Bug though. Lol.

Hey Jeff. It wasn't that long of a drive, about 60 miles round trip. I haven't filled up again so I have not calculated my milage yet. Even keeping my foot out of it, I am not expecting fantastic milage. It is a 360 after all. Lol.

TONY! Why did you plant that in my head? It's only 10 hours from me. I could totally make that trip. Now I have to add it to the bucket list of things like MoParty and Hot Rod Power Tour. Not till the car is done though. Lol! In all seriousness. Thank you. I was not aware of that and it would definitely be a blast. You are not my only Canadian viewer and it would be cool to meet some of you!

Thanks! I used Plasti-Dip on the grille and emblems. That way they're not "ruined." Just gotta peel it off and it's back to original. I contemplated a 20:1 as well but I think I want a 16:1. Wish there was a way to test before I buy.....=/

@@MontsweagGarage awesome! i had thought about using plastidip as well. im going for hot rod black for the body and all the chrome is going to be gloss black. I agree to as for wanting to test things out before you buy, only in a perfect world lol. keep up the good work, i love seeing the progress on the dart!!

I love the murdered out look. You'll have to share pics when you are done!

Sweet vid amigo!! I loved the show and glad you got finished in time to participate. All the hard work is paying off. I got to get out to one around northern Indiana, Auburn has a bunch yearly. The boobs trick was hilarious, hee hee, and lil one reminds me of Sheba. Looking 4ward to the next video, the car is ready coming along!!

Thanks Joe! It's funny you mentioned Sheba. As Hazel gets older, there are times when she does things that immediately remind me of Sheba, especially when she jumps up in my lap and demands attention. Lol.

That's pretty sweet! I will be getting a smoke machine eventually. I am just now getting to the point where I can afford some of the more fancy tools. Lol. Definitely check out the bushing kit in this video. Worked quite well.

Yeah, wasn't my first choice but Fat Kid (me) was on a time line. I'll most likely replace the control arm and ball joint in the off season. It'll hold till then. =)

Welcome to the channel Carlos, and thank you for the comment. I plan on continuing the body work through the winter and....hopefully......get the paint done in the spring.

I may invest in new ones at one point. I work on electronics for a living though so the repair wasn't to much of a hassle and is holding up great.

Hello Carlos. Welcome to the channel and thanks for the comment! I hope the videos are helpful. If you have questions along the way, feel free to ask. I will answer as best I can.

Hello John. Welcome to the channel and thanks for the comment! I went back and sealed all the core plugs with Permatex form a gasket before dropping the engine in the car. Holding up well.

I just don't get why people get so wrapped around the axle about a claw hammer. Those of us just getting into this hobby tend to make due with what we have on hand. I happened to have a claw hammer at the time. I don't claim to be an expert. I am learning as I go and just want to share what I learn with others that are doing this for the first time.

Welcome back, and thanks for the comment! I picked up a set of 1.03s from Mancini Racing. I did not have any issues with the headers clearing. I'm glad you are finding the channel helpful. This is my first time through a project car and I am just trying to share what I learn along the way.

@@MontsweagGarage I love it because this car (67 dart 270) is my first project car aswell and i find myself not intimidated but just not "in the know" of how these things go so every video you post, i watch because il be doing the same things to my car. So thank you for your videos and your service!!!!

You are welcome. For both! If you have questions along the way, feel free to ask.

@@MontsweagGarage when you put the engine in the car, did you have to drain the oil and trans fluid first? thanks in advance!!!

@reapwhatyousow3383 I drained the transmission but left the oil in the engine.

Hello Lex. Welcome to the channel and thanks for the comment. The specs you are looking for are 30 ft/lbs for case capscrews, 15 ft/lbs for the oilpan capscrews. Hope this is helpful.

Welcome Dustin and thanks for the comment! I am glad this was helpful! If you run into issues, fell free to hit me up, I will help as much as I can.

Hello Cindy. Thanks for the comment! I had hit it with PB blaster and a MAP Gas Torch as well prior to shooting this video. I probably should have added that into the video itself.

Welcome and thanks for the comment. I would definitely replace the heads. You might be able to get a machine shop to fix the ones you have but I'm not sure if that would be any cheaper. That's just my 2 cents, I am by no means an expert.

Welcome, and thanks for the comment. As I said in the previous comment, I think your best bet is to replace the heads. You might be able to get a machine shop to fix the ones you have but I'm not sure if that will be any cheaper. Either way, it gives you a chance to get a peek into the cylinders and make sure they are not all rusty. If you are keeping the factory ECU and EFI, you should not have to touch timing at all. If you are going with a carb, you should check/set the ignition timing on your first start.

This is where I picked up the refurbished heads that are on my engine. www.alliedmotorparts.com/products/cylinder-head-dodge-chrysler-318-360-5-2-5-9l-466-671-magnum-93-03?variant=35037684826270&gad=1

Thanks Chumley! You should see it now! She's almost ready for a "first start and drive" video =)

Welcome, James, and thank you for the comment! I never would have thought of boiling them to soften them up. That's a great tip. Thank you!

Thanks Joe. I should have the car up and running this weekend. I am super excited! My goal is to have all the bugs worked out in time for Darliing's All Mopar Car Show next month.

Hopefully everything will be filmed too

Thanks Tractorman! I intend to have her up and running this weekend. I did alot of the assembly off camera this past weekend. Driveshaft, brakes, electrical. All the boring stuff. Just hooking up wires and bolting things in. Still have Fuel and Ignition to do as I wasn't sure if I wanted to install the Sniper yet. Think I am going to get it running first, then give the snip[er video it's own video. =)

Welcome Benjamin and thank you for the comment. I didn't think I could get the car high enough to do it that way as I don't have a lift. Someday...lol.

@@MontsweagGarage makes sense. I have seen several people use the engine lift and just pivot the car on the rear wheels. That is what I was going to try. With a back up of a winch and my garage rafters. Haha. We will see how that goes.

Hello Brian. Thank you for the comment. It will be body color eventually. The main reason I masked them is to not gunk up the threads with high build primer.

Welcome back Tony! Thanks for commenting video after video. I really appreciate it! Eventually this beast will get a fresh coat of paint. We'll be doing some more tearing apart here soon enough. Got the center, and the front of the car done. The rear end is coming soon. There is a lot of rot underneath behind the rear wheels! Nothing Life threatening though so she's gonna be back on the road soon!

Hello Greg. Welcome to the channel and thank you for the comment! Hope you enjoy the content.

I'll definitely check it out.

@reapwhatyousow3383 Welcome and thanks for the comment! I hope this video is helpful for you. I made this based on another viewer's questions in the comments. I was fortunate and all my gauges worked. If you end up having questions, feel free to give me a holler. I hope to see you around, and thanks you for the Sub as well.

It's a Rode Wireless Me. I picked it up at Target for less than $100. It was a huge improvement over my last wireless mic.

@@MontsweagGarage Thanks for the tip! I currently have a cheap mic that gives me poor sound quality.

Welcome Number and thank you for the comment. I really need to get a Silverado or Sierra with the torsion bars. Would be a fun build. For the classic Mopars, I have seen guys beat them out with a sledge hammer to the control arm but I was concerned about ruining them so didn't go that route.

Welcome and thanks for the comment. I am definitely working on more videos. Have one in edit now and a few more ideas lined up. A full time job makes weekly or even bi-weekly releases unlikely though. More metal work is coming down the pipe too but that will be later in the year. Hope to see you then.

@@MontsweagGarage thank you ive got a 72 dart im building myself and yours videos have been a big help. Ive toyed wIth the idea of putting a full frame from a dakota underneath mine and running air bags,but ive got alot of body work to do befofe i get to thst point like a new roof skin. Thanks for the reply and the work you put in.

That's an interesting idea. Personally I would use a frame connector kit and torque boxes. Not sure how well a Dakota frame will fit. I'd definitely be interested to see how that works out for you.

Welcome to the channel Tom, and thanks for the comment. I am not 100% positive, but I believe it will. Best bet would be to get your hands on a factory service manual if you don't already have one. You can find a digital copy at mymopar.com/service-manuals/.

Hello Danger. Welcome to the channel and thanks for the comment. You can reach me directly at montsweaggarage@outlook.com. I will help as best I can.

Hello Gitar. Welcome to the channel and thank you for the comment. Are you wanting to paint the engine, the engine bay, or both? My next video covers me painting the engine bay. Well with primer anyway. As far as painting the engine, degrease it really well and dry it with a heat gun, then add primer, paint, and if you really want it to stay looking nice, a clear coat. I hope this is helpful and if you have further questions, feel free to ask.

Welcome and thank you for the comment. This is the assembly video. ruclips.net/video/0Rx3-ri8vE0/видео.htmlsi=ZLAMB3WX4ayMyuDu If you still have questions after that one. Please ask. I will answer as best I can.

Hello Al. Welcome to the channel and thank you for the comment. I hope this was helpful.

Thanks Chumley!

Thanks Tractorman! For me it was a safety thing. I want to go on Power Tour at some point in the near future and those mounts were NOT safe. And I want it to last a while. =)

Hello James. My current intention is that once I get the engine off the stand and in the car, hopefully in the next couple of weeks, to tear down the stand and do a build video. It will also allow me to take pictures I can incorporate into build instructions.

Hello Greg. Thanks for the comment! I try to do the best I can with what I have.

Thanks Tony! Now that I know exactly what's going on, I can manage things. I was actually gonna talk about it in this video but never really found the right spot to put it. I will probably drop a shorter video talking a bit about it, along with what's coming up for the Dart.

Was meant to read where the "f" did l do with it. Is yours an A 904 Torqueflite LA Chrysler. Please respond when convenient. ✔️

Welcome Paula, and thanks for the comment! I was ABSOLUTELY thinking where the f*ck did I sit it this time? I set things down all the time and can't remember where I put it. I do much better when I have a work cart I can throw everything on until I am done but I don't have one in the home garage yet. On an entirely different note. I hope to get back on your side of the works again. Been there a few times in my Navy days. I loved most of the places I went. Hope to see you around the comments.

And yes, It is a Chrysler A904. It is currently sitting behind a 5.9L Magnum. =}

Welcome Roy! Thanks for the comment. Here's the list: Front Leaf Spring Hangar kit: www.manciniracing.com/mrear013kita.html Shackle Kit: www.manciniracing.com/manbodsetpol.html Leaf Springs: Right Hand: www.manciniracing.com/mopecolespri.html Left Hand: www.manciniracing.com/mocolesple.html The install is covered in this video. ruclips.net/video/yvQzvKyf53E/видео.html Hope this is helpful!

@@MontsweagGarage Hey, also, if you give me a part number For the leaf Springs itself.

No worries. They are P4120863 and P4120864.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing you around.

Good morning Greg. Thanks for the comment. I can't really argue with you, but I do have to ask, why do you say I'm crazy?

You’re just very funny. That’s really what I meant. You did a great job on the motor just a regular guy working on his Mopar.

@@Greg383BB Well, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Lol.

Hey Tony! Thanks for the comment! My wife loves getting out to the car shows with me. She is all about the look and style of all kinds of different classic cars. She always finds something to love about even the rattiest of old cars and trucks. That's probably why she ended up with me. Lol.

Thanks Chumley! The wife loves car shows just as much as I do. We have big one scheduled for the 14th. That one is usually quite a bit bigger. All the shows this year have had a smaller turnout than usual so we'll see.

Welcome @marioknexfan and thanks for the comment. If that's your Dad's car, I work with your Mom. I definitely liked the car and I know all about "a work in progress". Lol. I hope to have my dart there next year. I am aiming to have it back on the road in time for Darling's All Mopar show up in Augusta in September. Hope to see you guys there.
