    Winter Project Dart Stroker

    It sat in pieces from 1987 to 2011. Well started today on taking apart my car! I am installing a Dart SHP, AFR 220 competition heads, Comp Cams hydro roller and valve train, 4340 Eagle rotating assembly, H Beams with dual keys on crank, ATI ect...This motor is built for the DISC Procharger like I have always wanted. Will post some progress pics. I am also painting the fenders, under hood and firewall to match the exterior color. Out with the old and in with the new! Let the fun begin!

    It's always fun to upgrade. Should be a great engine. What is a "DISC Procharger"? Are you supercharging it? And what are "dual keys"? Sorry, I'm a little out of it when it comes to some of this engine stuff.

    Its a centrifugal supercharger. The SC is for self contained. No need to tap the oil pan. Due to the load on the end of the crank, the manufacture suggest installing dual keys.

    Thanks JT. I know what a Procharger is but I didn't know what "DISC" meant. Should be a screamer.

    More Progress to this evening. Was able to finish the a/c lines and fire wall plate. Then installed the new fuel lines, brackets for a/c, alternator, crank pulley. For some reason the new Weiand water pump is hitting the pulley. It didn't hit on the old water pump? Did shim out 1/8 inch, but still hitting. Worried nothing will line up and spin the belts if I do more! Also need to look at accelerator setup. Carb sits higher and original rod doesn't work. I dont like the brake lines stuff, will look at doing something to clean up. I have the CPP MCVP1
