Yep....another "rear view".
This is Daryl's LO23.
This car is also the primary reason the Nostalgia Stock and Super Stock forum exists. (to the best of my memory)

Great photos, Charlie- always so fun to see! Daryl's Dart is set up so well, has that perfect, clean look and such a mean stance. Makes me really think about "streeting" mine.


So, Tim Banning (FHO) says I CAN use motor mounts if I want, but in his experience people find it easier to use a front engine plate due to ease of installation, strengthening the front end, more clearance for oil pump, and easy mounting of water pump, air pump, etc. Also said that it would be easier to move the engine slightly forward if need be, since I will be using a Mopar cross ram, and clearance will be tight. Not sure which way I should go.


If people reading here have a A-body hemi, and wouldn't mind posting photos of how their engine is set up in the engine bay (or have any advice), I would certainly appreciate the help!

An older photo (Hot Rod magazine picture I think) of Daryl's engine:

Thankyou for the good words I appreciate it.
Any kind of factory "style" of cast X rams fit in these cars in the OEM location. Sheetmetal ones are a whole different story.
You will find that as you are working on that car that if you change the location of one item it literally affects 10 other things .
Its freakin tight with very little wiggle room if you are trying to retain as much of the original unmodified car as possible. I cant run a mechanical fan on mine with the big rad required to keep this thing cool. Even had to notch the electric fan shrouds for pulley clearance.
