Recently, you may have read about Jim Marrone\u2019s \u201967 Dodge Dart<\/a>. And in that story, our readers noted the 11:1 compression Indy cylinder head, full roller motor he lifted out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the story begged the question: Where did\nthat perfectly good motor go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It went into a 1968 two-door post Dodge Dart altered wheelbase project car that Marrone will complete just as soon as the \u201967 project is on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, the \u201968 has been modified to\nresemble the cars that eventually would be called Funny Cars. Marrone, refusing\nto take a short cut, installed a straight axle and moved the K frame forward 4-\u00be\ninches using E-body torsion bars. Then, he moved the rear end forward 12 inches\nand tubed it for wider tires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis car is slated to be a play car,\u201d said Marrone. \u201cA mighty combination of old and new schools. The motor will be topped off with a tunnel ram intake with two FAST fuel injection units on top. And, it will have a \u201ctrick\u201d 727 automatic, that will look like a stick shift, but the clutch and brake pedal will actually be one piece.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019ll have a roll bar, for when it hits the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aesthetically? Well, that remains to be seen. And you will see it. Here, on DodgeGarage. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
