Original hemi dart information

[Liteweight]

Good points made on the Dana stuff. Also keep in mind, these Hurst cars came with the 4 1/2" bolt circle compared to the 4" bolt circle that "production " A bodys came with. They definately were stock length B body diffs,with stock length B body axles. I'm guessing this was to keep the cost down, so they didn't have to build a special length rear end. Instead, they installed those positive offset wheels. I believe this to be true for both, the Dana, & the 8 3/4"s.
So, possibly the shortage issue for the Dana's resulted from the special gearing - 4.88's rather than the diff. assemby as by length.

Mark J,
There are (2) definte Hemi cars from the Syracuse, NY Region.
* Ed Miller's SS/B Barracuda "Syracuse Region Plymouth Dealers"
* Chuck McJury's SS/B Dart "Cicero Dodge" (Later converted to an automatic).


Wasn't completely sure if John Bullock got an original. He was
one of the original 65' Dodge Super/Stock owners too.
Sam Dell Dodge, Syracuse, New York was big into racing.

The Ed Miller SS/B Barracuda has been located in the Minnesota area. This car went through many phases, including being converted to a 69 car to appease Chrysler. It has been documented by Ed as well. It is currently in my shop & undergoing a complete restoration to it's original 68 "as raced" glory including the paint scheme & decaling. It had one of those small deck wings installed on it & 69 side markers when purchased a few years back.

Just curious about restoring one of these Darts/Cudas that has been tubbed and you go back to stock during a restoration?

What do you have to do to replace the cut out material? Cut the floor and rails out of a donor car and fit it back in the tubbed car?

there is a ton of cool stuff in that S&M picture! looks like both Superbirds, the Barracuda and look at the rollbar in the Duster. it looks like too there is a '70-up Shaker scoop on the roof of the Barracuda?

the intake in the top of the cart looks interesting too, medium rise tunnel ram maybe?

thank you for the pictures

Dave, you're welcome. That " medium rise tunnel ram" appears to be an I.R. (individual runner) manifold.

P.S. Re: Arlen's Barracuda, from what I read, he hated this paint job! Personally, I like it.
