The last time we saw Cody Walker he was busy exploding the Torqueflite in his wife's BIg Block Chrysler Newport. Today, we dropped by his place to check out his fantastic home brewed Drag Week special 1971 Dodge Dart.
Cody walked (pun intended) us through the cars mechanical features, including it's 700 horsepower Procharged Small Block, dragged out a box of Transmission shrapnel and introduced us to Happy The Pig.

I think low budget is a matter of perspective, not low to me

@bcbloc02 Год назад

I would say a very minimum of $10k but it would not surprise me to be more than double that either depending on how and when stuff was bought. Main thing is he has spent well and things that matter so its not broke all the time.

@mwilliamshs Год назад

Low budget for 9 seconds and reliable Not 9 seconds for low budget

@yeehaw3792 Год назад

It's crazy how expensive this shit is now compared to just a few years ago.

@mwilliamshs Год назад

@@yeehaw3792 Building a 9.90 Dart with custom-ported aluminum heads, a factory forged stroker crank, Dana 60, supercharger, and custom rollcage has never been cheap.

@yeehaw3792 Год назад

@@mwilliamshs Yeah I hear you but, just a few years ago you could find running and driving slant 6 darts around the same year as this for under 5000 all day long. Now 5 grand MIGHT MAYBE POSSIBLY get you a dart roller (that doesn't even roll!) that needs new floor pans and everything else. Fucking bullshit.

@anthonypritchard7710 Год назад

A flat tappet cam is impressive with that setup.

Backyard built, sure, low budget......hardly. He's probably got $15K in just the engine. The cake pan is a good idea.

15k is low budget for a 9 second drag car.

I dont think the drive train and mechanicals of this car are low budget to most of us. Those pro charger kits are not cheap. Very cool car and impressive performance, regardless.

@albertgaspar627 Год назад

if you hunt for years, you might find a used one sold by someone ready to move and cut a deal. otherwise, yeah, junkyards have turbos and M90 eatons that might come close with a cooling shot of "naws".

@SoI_Badguy Год назад

cheap for a 720whp 9 second street/strip car that is very reliable. Just put that blower on a 5.9 magnum with a cam and springs and you could probably get it down to the 9s... if you weren't worried about blowing it up lol.

My first 340 Demon Super Stock needed a scoop to clear the stacks on a Holley 650 2bbl. I just fabbed a simple box out of sheet metal. Some people called it a mailbox. It worked great, and some of the big buck cars took me lightly till I put them on the trailer! I won 2 big local events here in Ohio back in 1973 with that car. It ran 12.50s @ 114 mph. Your Dart is sweet!

@SoI_Badguy Год назад

you could probably get most of the way here for less than half as much if you were willing to risk breaking things

@patrickm.8425 Месяц назад

@@SoI_Badguy You don't have to risk breaking shit!! Running 9's isn't all about power, it's about losing weight!! You can take a car that has 500hp into the 9's all day long, just gotta lose the weight!! That's what we did with our S10, cut weight, and now we're taking horsepower out, because I ain't putting in all the extra safety BS the tracks want for that speed to be "legal"! F that, I'll run in the 10's and be happy.

Wayer injection is a nice crutch for lack of an intercooler, plus youll have alot less carbon buildup. Win win.

Met the car and driver in 2017 Drag Week. Didn't run those times at the time, but now it seems to work exceptionally well. A nice, real world build up with a correct attitude, that actually does what it's supposed to.

@Bill_N_ATX Год назад

I’d love to build a Dart but one that’s not a major rust bucket is a small fortune. That’s without a drive train. And I’ll be damned if I’d put an LS in a Dart. An old school 383 or 440 would be my preference but a modern hemi out of a junkyard would be cool too. But doing it right under 20 or 30 grand would be an effort.

@karlbishop7481 Год назад

Hot Rod Mag had some discussion several months ago about how the Hemi has become a very popular engine for powering hot rods. Common and easy to find.

I wish more people knew about Tony’s magazine career….he really is every bit as knowledgeable and talented as the oft-worshiped captain flip-flop, but unlike mr. “I like women’s footwear” Tony never sold his soul to Discovery group or any other corporate overlord and that why I think he’s just about the best thing going in automotive media these days.

@davidmiller9485 Год назад

The part that the drum fits into (with the large tabs) is called a sun shell. The sun gear and ring gear fit (well that's one system anyway) inside.

I had a 70 Swinger almost identical in appearance. That was until I found my 71 in a local bone yard with a NYC dealer sticker on the trunk lid with only 85,000 on the 225 Super 6 with Kelsey Hayes front discs and 5 leaf rear. The 70 suddenly became my donor car. I got 10 yrs of Northern New England daily driving out of that 71 before I sold it back to the same bone yard for a fraction of what I paid originally ($300). I love Cody's car! I love blowers! I also love his Newport and look forward to that show and not so shine! And thanks for the 727 feature! Who knew you could actually blow one up. I didn't! Well, you can blow anything up. Thanks for sharing!! 🏁

I would do ANYTHING to not run a solid flat tappet. I could possibly see not running a solid roller on a car that has to make it hundreds of miles between tracks but it seems to me a hydraulic roller would be perfect for a build like this. Am I wrong?

I remember being at Cecil County Dragway in 1989 or 1990 and watching a guy about my age just OWN his bracket racing class. He was driving a 340 4 speed '68 or '69 Dart. Dude had his car dialed, and he was an excellent racer. His consistency throughout the changing weather conditions was amazing. Dude knew that car and he knew that track. These were Saturday trophy races. Dude went home with the trophy, and he earned it!
