Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Does anyone know of a '68 Hemi SS steel bell housing (# 2463236) for sale? A couple of years ago I told a particular vendor I was converting my original '68 Hemi Dart back to it's factory 4 speed configuration, and he sold me a steel bell...it turns out it's a '64 bell that has a different mounting hole location for the Z bracket..and I don't think will work with a '68 trans. All steel Hemi bell housings are not created equal.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

235 & 236 are correct bell housings steel for 63 & 64

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I have bell # 2406042, supposedly for a 64 Stage III 426... the Z bar mounting looks the same, the bearing retainer hole is 4.354, same as the '68 Hemi bell 2463236. Are 426 Max Wedge and Hemi the same bolt pattern bell housings ? Thanks

Dave McDade ( Marfen here) did this a few years ago to get a stick back into the Genes Speed Shop LO23. He stops by here on occasion.
Actually Ill email him to see if he can help you out Dave.

Dave I will pm my email. get a hold of me there and I'll dig up some pics .

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Thanx Dave

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Thank you Daryl and Dave for your help !

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Hope it all works out for you Dave. Getting cluutch linkage in that very confined area is a challenge I' m sure, even with all the right parts.
I"ll stick with my 5800 stall with a trans brake. Just stab & steer. Lol

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Not sure if it is still available but a couple of months ago in mopar collectors guide classified there was a complete 4 speed set up for an LO23. I know that Moparts forum has members that could be very helpful in your search. Good luck.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Thanks Savoy. I think all I need is a shifter now, which I can get fairly easily. I did find out that the 1964 steel bell housing (2406042) that supposedly came on a '64 Stage III 426 will fit a 426 Hemi, and accepts a '68 Hemi SS trans. I physically tried both. I think it's excactly the same as the '64-68 steel Hemi bell (2463236); same engine bolt pattern, same hemi trans bolt pattern, and bearing retainer hole size.

The Barracuda is back home Posted in the Barracuda forum
But looking for some correct parts
Bake master off set bracket
brake Lines
Brake master cylinder
Battery kit everything front to back
Brake rotors
Tach cable
The list will go on.
What was used for gas line and pick up?

Should I use the original dual point distributor?

Thanks for any help

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

For rotors try locating Ford stuff if you cant find the original 68 SS stuff. They used Kelsey Hays also. Quick glance at a buddies scj 68 Mustang they look the same.

Fuel pickup and line were 3/8"

Try Jim Kramer for the stuff you need

Hi guys, been a while since I have been on here again thanks to another job change, hopefully this one will last.:) I will add a Hemi Dart pic...

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I talked to Bryan Higgins (One of the owners of S&K Speed Hemi Dart) yesterday. What a great guy! The funny thing is, I was asked to call him about something totally different then these cars. In the conversation we were having lead him to say he owned an original Hemi Dart back in 68. He bought it from Grand Spaulding Dodge. Then that just start a bunch of stories. He still has the paper work to his original car and does not know where the Dart is today. He did say that they sell the Hemi Dart it in late 69. He is building a Hemi Dart now.

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

This is the car Brooklynn Heavy aka Rufus
Boyd campaigned both on and off the race track. It was a part of his race 'organization' painted black to be a non discript street racer made famous in a as rumoured $250,000.00 street race. This was in the early 70's BTW. The shop he was based out of was J B Automotive.
The wareabouts of this car are unknown today.

I spoke with Bryan Higgans a few years ago looking for info on my car. Yup great guy. Didnt remember my car tho.

liteweight

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

I'd hate to be the bearer of corrected news, but that S&K Dart was originally sold to the Mutt Brothers who were a different entity by the name of J&B Automotive a few blocks away from Heavies J&L racing affiliation and Heavy's racing Enterprises. I live just four blocks away from both the J&B joint and Enterprises haunt.

Though it is indeed the car that was in that infamous 1/4 mill-1/4 mile"race against "Big John's" Pro-Camaro. Heavy and Ronald shared a few cars together and IIRC, Heavy ended up with the Dart after all, but at a later date.
Rumor has it that the car was lost in a fire at a storage location. Though I have tried in the past to step into heavies old garage with a lot of bouncer dudes denying me entrance, I suspect that the car or at least its charcoal carcass could still be out there lusting for a discovery/recovery .

Re: Original hemi dart information
 

Thankyou for that Lee. Glad you set that right. I hate dispusing wrong info. Nothing like having a guy who sits front row center in NY.
