Re: Original hemi dart information
Daryl and Mark,
Got to hurry hear.......Work,
If you want, post your address, and I'll send you photo of the black Dart.
It may or may not be Daryl's.
But for one thing, it must have been someones.
As for the Hemi engine that came with the car. It was definitely an
original factory Hemi unit.
The 12.5 -1 pistons (heavy factory-slugs) standard-bore were part of the
assembled block. But were fly-cut for the valve reliefs. The camshaft was an Isky unit, the same recommended by the factory (ie; Dick Landy).
The cast iron heads were not molested, (no porting or hogged out).
The only modification to the engine was the Milodon deep pan and
sump lines, and engine component balancing. Looks like the same engine from 68' (That is a little bizarre). How I remember this from
1980 or so, I have no idea.
More info on Bill Davitt later.
Kudo's to Bill on the Jeff Seligman 67' valiant 273/235 (K/SA)
Talk to you later today
