    As you can see by the pics the ole 360 Dart was looking pretty grimey and greasey. It's time freshen up. The guy I bought the car from 6years ago(?) did a pretty decent job. He threw it together pretty quick (mostly himself). I drove it quite a bit. I drove it to work some. It's been driven in the rain, etc. The dirt was starting to show!

    A friend will be buying the 360 for his son's 1971 Dart project.

    Update..

    The day after Thanksgiving a friend and I took the fenders off the Dart. The dash and heater box were removed also.
    I finally found a serpentine belt that would fit (i'm not using A/C or Power-steering). It's a 6-groove belt, 79 1/2" long (NAPA Part# 060790). Hopefully this will work without issues. The stock belt is a 7-groove.

    A mid-sump oil pan has been installed in place of the "truck" rear-sump pan.

    Pics are attached..

    WSM,
     Thanks for the thumbs up !!

    Rev,
    You betcha !! I never miss Carlisle!
    Hopefully the Dart will be at Carlisle with me..

    6pak2go,
    The engine came out of a wrecked 2004 RAM truck (salvage).
    I think I put some pics of the engine (what I started with) and my Dart at the start of this thread.

    Thanks all,
    MoparMan

     6pak2go,

    It's a 1969 Dart GT. It will be changed to a GTS (Silver w/Red Bumble Stripe and a Red interior).

    I attached some "beginning of project" pics of the engine and the car..
