I used to run a BB Mopar w/a 4spd at the track What I did for a bulletproof clutch was to have the local clutch rebuild shop use the same ceramic clutch material on my clutch that they used for the semi's. It's the same material used on the expensive HP clutch disc. Only it was twice as thick and cost less than 100.00 bucks.
A old trick we use to do to clean up a engine. Drain the oil. Pull the coil wire. Pour about a gallon of kerosene in the engine. Crank it over several times. Let it sit for a while. Drain it out and put new oil in and you will be back in business. Big Mike from Kentucky
While I wouldn't reccommend this unless its a last resort, I have run a quart of kerosene in a running motor for 15 minutes. Drain and refill with fresh oil. Did it twice to my suburban because it had so much sludge. Cleared it up and no longer burns oil.
2 points 1 - Anytime you replace an OEM manifold with an aftermarket one, use a coated gasket. 2 - Use Diesel fuel/heating oil/kerosene instead of gasoline to clean engine parts.
Dylan , i needed your peacefull, trial laden victorious voice to help me pass a really awfull night and morning.....I bet you never had someone tell you that BEFORE? Well sometimes a STILL SMALL VOICE CALLS OUT FOR YOU TO FAITHFULLY JOIN HIM IN HIS VERSION OF PEACE ...... PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU HEAR THAT MOTOR ROAR AGAIN....
On the weird clutch pedal movement when you floor the gas. Could be a broken motor mount but here’s a tip get a big piece of chain bolt one end of it to the head and the other end to the frame on the driver side or weld it to the frame. Make sure it’s got enough tension before you mount the other end to the frame. So when nail the gas the engine won’t give. See when the engine gives its moving the mechanical clutch mechanism as well.
The ole chain trick still gives you stock mounts when cruising but holds tight when you are on it hard. Doesn't transfer all the vibration until you need it to. Had an old f body that was bad about breaking the one motor mount. Put the chain on it and never had another issue.
That's a nice 1965 dart... Great Job on that 9.33 seconds In the eighth mile. Like the videos great job. Keep up the good work until I see you in the next video..👍🙏🏻🙂 You should make a 360 stroker motor sleeper car out of it with 3.55 Gears. Again? Great video. GO Mopar.!!👍
This Dart reminds me so much of my old 65 Valiant. 318, 4 speed and 3,91 suregrip. Even has same sound and same dual snorkel air cleaner 😎 Ran 14,2 at best 😎
Gnarly all right especially with those hubcaps real high performance from them or maybe they are holding the wheels on ummm no…! Then if not why put them on…oh ok hubcaps are used to make the car look lame….to fool people lol
Find a proper 273 to make it correct. They have way more guts than a 318. Solid lifters too. I had a 65 Barracuda formula S that was damn quick. Swapped ot the 7 1/4 rear for a 83/4 housing and a 4:56 gears. It was a mean street racer and a high 12 second strip car back in the late 60s and early 70s. I ran a 3 finger clutch and it was perfect in the Barracuda. Check your motor mounts and transmission mount rubber that might fix your clutch pedal movement in the car.
if you ever have the problem with the milky oil again rather than rinsing it with gasoline rinse it with diesel and it will prevent that flash rust. Just food for thought
When you have an engine that is nasty internally, drain the oil, and replace it with kerosene. Crank it up and let it run for 25-30 seconds. The kerosene has enough lubricant, that it wont hurt the engine, running it for no longer 30 seconds or so. Shut it down, drain it and fill it back up with oil. It works wonders. I had a high mileage 86 model 4 cylinder Toyota Corolla. It burned about 2 or 3 quarts of oil between changes. My uncle told me to try the kerosene and i thought he was pullin my leg. I tried it anyway though, and it must have had some sticky rings, because after i ran that kerosene, it never used a drop again. As a matter of fact, it was dead on full, when i totalled it! 🤣 I dont think i would ever try the kerosene on a modern engine, but the older ones can handle it fine. 👍
I grew up with them old 318 and think they were the most under rated engines on the road. With just a little work, you could get good horse power and they would run forever! In stock form, they were just a reliable motor, not good for fuel mileage, but dependable. If you wanted it to perform good, everything you needed was available from mopar connection.
Another thing I remember about them old mopars is, if you are running a stock clutch, you will throw all the lining off the clutch plate if you release the clutch at 8500 rpm!
The moisture you see on the stick could be from the dipstick tube... I use some knots on a string to clean it out, fished through the dipstick tube to clean it or use air to blow it out.
I'd love to see you make that car into a streetable drag car. You might take some examples from Darrick and what he did with the Independence car. He built that one more for burnouts, so maybe apply more drag racing stuff instead. I'm sure whatever you decide to do will be tremendous.
Excellent Video Dylan :) , Byer :) fixing up this old Dodge Dart may need weight on driveshaft help to and change Rear end gears too for posi not basic one peel ! Also seal up gaskets get NAPA brand RISILONE Rad leak seal plus more in cold start in rad or mix antifreeze before add in Rad too so work faster after 1 hour not drive so circulation thru also don't put in Rad Resivor bottle to!
A Zoom clutch and throw out bearing would help you a little using nitrous. Great job with what you have to work with. I noticed there was another Dart at the track. I wish ya'll could have raced together that last hit you made.
In my area we have a lot of old fords because ford was the only auto dealer in our area Dylan must be near a area that had a Mopar dealership back in the day lucky man . As always good content keep these videos coming
That Dart is crying to be a “resto-mod”! A full body & interior restoration, but maybe a 360 under the hood… and for goodness sake, put a set of headers on that thing!
Another thing about a 318 was, they would turn 8500 with stock valve train! Only in low gear because, in stock form they didn't have enough hp to rev that high in higher gears!
Use a solid motor mount on the driver side. It will stop the motor from twisting so bad. The rubber mount on the passenger side will still cushion the vibrations.
Dylan I would go with a 2 or 3 inch exhaust. Remember if you have more air going in you have to match it coming out. But other than that runs and looks great
Dylan. There is definitely nothing like a V8, and a manual transmission. My middle son has a 2000 Mustang GT, 5-speed. Fortunately, it doesn’t have any catalytic converters on it, so it’s probably putting out about 300 horsepower? He lets me drive it occasionally, and it’s hard not to romp on it. lol.
Solid mount engine, mister. Thats the cure. I wont rinse it with gasioine. Use instead keresine. Its got lubercunts in it. And then crank. Wont hurt the engine. Good day mister MacCool and of course, Mister Briere.

I had a '65 Dart with the slant six. It was a bargain. I bought it for $60 from a friend, because he did a tune-up and pulled all the plug wires at once. He never could get the firing order right, so he sold it to me. My friend and I dragged it to my house, pulled out the Chilton's, and had it running in ten minutes. I sold it to my sister two days later for $80. I think this one is a little faster.
Like the old dodge dart it looks pretty good and runs very well keep up the good work you could put a 360 v8 in it with a 904 transmission or put a 5 speed Manuel transmission in it and use the nitrous and add some more horse power it should get on up on the track and highway keep doing what your doing to old vehicles I like watching your videos
It is entertaining watching you guys dicking around with a long style clutch not realizing the fingers are adjustable :). If you put tires on the car, you could have cracked a 9.0, even 8.9 which would be low 14s high 13s..
Any sign of moisture inside the engine warrants an oil change. I would change it one more time to make sure it’s not still leaking and that you got it all out.
Hey just wanted to share some ideas, go with solid steel motor mounts and solid transmission mount, will definitely hookup a lot quicker, also maybe 90 pound clutch ? And a chain and sprocket clutch linkage, I used that setup in CJ5 with a hopped up 283 Chevy, and would pull the front end two feet off the ground run about 5 years with no trouble, just my two cents, God Bless.
An additional small, whispering voice says, "Dylon, learn to speed shift cars like we did in the 'old days' ". ( Secret: NEVER let up on the gas pedal when shifting through the gears). Just saying...
I’m already blowing through the clutch as it is. Last time I power shifted it, it gets the clutch even hotter and slips. You don’t see much benefit when you’re running a stock clutch like this.
@@DylanMcCoolVideo also would be super cool to see the 360 buttt what about a 340 or big block 440 if it fits? or even some alum heads on the ole 318 with a stiffer clutch and slicks would be a hoot too
If you think there's water in the crankcase and the cars been sitting just open the drain plug before ever cranking it over. All the water will come out first. When you see oil give it a few seconds and plug it back up.
Wow for what it's worth. It has a potential for possibilities, it's a decent car do some work on the body. Lighten it. Rip the interior,replace the door panel's put some aluminum panels. Derust the inside, treat it ospho,rust oleum paint.clean dash board, Gauges,custom steer. Suspension, bushing's, shocks,upgrade wheel&tires. Until u're satisfied. Go racing All-day. Also the engine refinements to let the ET drops.🤔👍.

The kerosene works well... just don`t use diesel because it will eat up all the rubber seals in the engine
While I wouldn't reccommend this unless its a last resort, I have run a quart of kerosene in a running motor for 15 minutes. Drain and refill with fresh oil. Did it twice to my suburban because it had so much sludge. Cleared it up and no longer burns oil.
As in big heart Mike?
I have used kerosene and atf, both worked great.
2 points
1 - Anytime you replace an OEM manifold with an aftermarket one, use a coated gasket.
2 - Use Diesel fuel/heating oil/kerosene instead of gasoline to clean engine parts.
I did the same to flush an old motor. My grandpa told me that when I was a young boy. Most flushes you buy has a mix of diesel and other detergents
I LOVE OLD MOPARS !! My first car was a 1974 PLYMOUTH SATELLITE I loved that car , thanks for this video !!!!
Any video with a old Dart and a bottle of NOS for the Thumbnail is sure to be worth the watch! Let's GOOO!
I like the way you think!
Have me eye on one, not sure on price yet, but your video has me stirred up!
@@DylanMcCoolVideoso ... YOUR MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL THE DARTS TO THE YARD!!!!😁😆😂
Love the car.
One of the best car content channels on RUclips 💪🏻🤙🏻
Enjoy your smoken ‘Darts. Too bad they always need to get rebuilt. But that’s the whole point of McCool.
Motor mounts = clutch pedal rising issue. Throwout bearing is toast also.
I agree , also needs a set of 4.10's .
Watch the video all the way through. Not the motor mounts.
So cool, watching Briar grow and be more confident on camera. He’s starting to feel like a co-host and not just your friend/help
One of the reasons why I loved a diafram clutch over fingers.

Keep that old dart video’s coming love to watch you trying different things to it.
The old dart done pretty dang good ! I am impressed from what you started with!
Been wanting to see another video on that beautiful dart.
Such a fun looking car!
Love love love this car! Looks like a blast to drive, keep after it!

Run steal mounts will stop the movement

Did you watch the whole video?
@@DylanMcCoolVideo yes I did hear you mention about using a chain I’m sorry I commented too early on that subject please forgive me Dylan.
@@Carcrafter7165 No not even that. The fingers on the diaphragm were moving out under RPM. It turns out it wasn’t the engine moving.

Been waiting for this one, thanks Dylan!
You and me both. I’m excited to get this one out!
Step one was to cut the mufflers open 🤣🤣🤣

A Dart, a small block, 4 Speed, sure grip, and nitrous! You just built my dream car!
I love that Dart! Probably one of my favorite cars of that era.
Another thing I remember about them old mopars is, if you are running a stock clutch, you will throw all the lining off the clutch plate if you release the clutch at 8500 rpm!

Great Video Dylan. I would love to see you restore that 58' Plymouth you have to a full restoration. Really nice car!

Crazy brother with a big ol smile lol that dodge neon r/t looked cool to build up
Its neat seeing an old junker, getting a couple of grand put into it, so it can be driven again.

Buddy of mine back in high school bought a brand new 65 Dodge Dart 4 speed with the 273 HiPo engine. That thing was fast.
Congratulations for the car running quicker than you initially thought that it would.
I was pleasantly surprised!

And that's where tons of those went. Well, dirt track, circle 8, etc.

For your fan belt use a sliver of a bar of soap. Hold it on the side of the belt when its running. Do both sides of the v on the belt.

How about a 225 slant 6 with a Scat pack or maybe just maybe a turbo charger! 🤔 think about it! Btw how about bringing back the country music!

318 was the best according to whoever I listened to.287 heard were nice too. Blown good
Your videos always bring a piece of joy and positivity into my life. Thank you for your warmth and light!🐪🔷🌌
Rock On Dylan...😎😎😎😎😎😎
I really like that you are running a edelbrock carburetor
Should have used kerosene but gas works but i would change the oil again after some run time
The sound of the motor makes that car seem beautiful despite the aesthetics. I'd drive it proudly.
Been there done that trimming on my MoPar Finned valve covers.
Love this rig!!! But for the love of God,please fix the blinking shop light 😅
Oh hell yeah. I love the dodge darts.

Well that’s the thing, they aren’t technically supposed to be on this one. The factory welded the adjuster nut, so you’d think it would just work.
I bought a 65 Dart brand new when I was 18, had my share of issues from blowing suregrip rear-end, flatend rod bearings, but I d I d love it.
Any sign of moisture inside the engine warrants an oil change. I would change it one more time to make sure it’s not still leaking and that you got it all out.
Love them old Darts

I vote you make it a dedicated drag car! Already got the weight reduction so add bars and power! See how long that old 318 will go!
This is like waking grandpa up from the dead and making him run a marathon xD
If you think there's water in the crankcase and the cars been sitting just open the drain plug before ever cranking it over. All the water will come out first. When you see oil give it a few seconds and plug it back up.
You need a racing clutch set up. The throw out bearing will have a larger face. Chain the engine and you will be set.
i am glad you have a lift. doing all of this would have been a real pain.
Put solid motor mounts in it and it will quite doing that with the clutch and throw-out bearing
With all of the cars that you have are they legal? Do they have plates,insurance,inspections?
He may be in a state that requires insurance only
