Default YT video 67-69 Dart

I've searched, and zero Dart/LS1s come up. The closest it comes, are Dart heads. Doesn't mean that this combo hasn't been done before, though.
A stock LS1 would work well in a 2800lb car!
My brother & I have both owned these cars. We joke that at higher speeds, the car pitches & yaws. It would take some beefing up to achieve stability.

I was browsing at a local car farm last month, and they had a couple darts. Tried to talk the wife into another project car and almost got shot lol. Good luck with the project! It would be a beast on the streets for sure.

No Dart, yet.
I'm still spending & working on the Camaro.
As the guys know, projects must be approved, in part, by Sgt. Honey!

Great job, topbrent!
I knew that someone out there had to have completed a Mopar swap.

Thanks for the link, Zfan.
There also were a couple of 67-69 Dart GTSs/GTs.
I'm looking for a rolling body, if possible. I notice, for the most part, that the rolling bodies are rusty, or former racing cars.
