- First fire up cold start for my Small block mopar stroker motor in my 1968 Dodge Dart! My Mopar 360 is bored and stroked to a 414 small block, same as popular Mopar 408 with more bore. The solid roller cam with open header sound is amazing. Head phone warning! This 68 dart will be drag racing soon! Till then enjoy this open header cold start!

I am your neighbour. I don't hate you..lol
Sounds awesome!
Coolest neighbor ever!
That`s awesome
Gonna put an X pipe on her?
Ya I miss my 68 Valiant, started with a 340 single four barrel 4 speed, then dropped a built 68 Hemi in it with two fours and solid rocker assembly with gear drive, and yeah shit went sideways after that. Mid tens in the quarter mile, And forty grand later 158 miles an hour. I’m 68 and this video give me a reason to do another one. Looks and sounds really good.
Wanna be my neighbor lol. One sweet ride man!!!
Absolutely one of the best looking and sounding 68 Darts ever. You should be very proud.
It does sound real nice.
I second that.
He is proud. He treats the car like a new born baby
💯🤜🏼🤛🏼
sound like he needs attention
If I heard my neighbor fire up that car I would be drawn to it like a moth to the flame
My neighbor has a "71"challenger 440 mag.and when I hear it fire upon become that moth.lol regretfully regretfully missing the one I sold..,
I hope the moth doesn’t get sucked into the intake!
Not a Mopar guy but I can't help but love challengers & darts. You've done the Mopar camp proud! The whole package is spot on.
And Why Aren't You A Mopar Guy ❓ I Love all American Muscle Cars. But My Heart 💙 Bleeds MOPAR BLUE 😊😊
Now THAT"S the Sound of Music!! I grew up around these cars back in the day spending weekends at Maple Grove and cruising the town after the races.. Love it!!
Hell ya brother
Me as well. Road Runners, Chevelles, GTOs
That's what I was going to say, music to my ears! Beautiful sound, thanks.
@@secondemail1622 I still own a 1972 Chevelle SS small block car w/ numbers matching drive train. I sold a 1970 SS Big Block car that needed an entire back half and purchased the 72 shortly after.
@@72Z15SS nice
I really appreciate the warning about the headphones, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get them any louder.😁
Lol
Lmao same, when he said that I turned it up.
@@smallfry0764 crank it up bro!
I’m not a molar guy but, that thing looks and sounds Saweet!!
ROFL😂
The neighbors might hate you but it would be music to my ears but I'm a different kind of neighbor I guess
I always find that when the neighbors hate you, you're doing it right.
Hitting so hard it made a box fall from the attic in frame 3.03.
Nice ride. Mopar all the way!!!!
Mopar will be number one to me until the day I get buried with my Chrysler 5th Avenue.
Life long Chevy guy but as time goes by I appreciate all of the old cars now. The old Mopar cars had some really good body styling and the Dart was one of my favs. I still have my first car that I got when I was 16. It's a 1970 Nova coupe that originally had inline 230 6 and a three speed. Saved my money up and my dad and I swapped in a 327 and Muncie 4 speed. I will probably do some kind of stroker in it even though the 327 has beem a really good motor, It just never had a lot of low end torque.
That car sounds so good, even the grumpy dude down the street enjoys hearing it.
Are you talking about me? I just want some sleep. Maybe he will take it to the track ❤😂. And blow it up at 9.5K and launch the dambd thing into space. No just kidding love the sound and the smell of nitrous in the morning 🤣😅🤣😂👍
Late 60's early 70's best years for cars & music.
And womens. Don't forget the womens.
I've been a Chevy guy all my life and have to say your car is absolute perfection, stunningly beautiful and sounds great! I restored an elderly womans Dart and just loved it. I treated it with the utmost respect because it was her late husbands car.
Same here, always liked Chevys because that's what I grew up wrenching on. However, Most of these old Mopars, Fords, and others are so Desirable that I would NOT hesitate to buy one if given the chance. Not to mention, anything set-up as a Pro Street car is just AWESOME! Even the "Ugly Duckling" cars that I hated when I was a teen...
Should do that to all aspects of life
@@demon.733 Respect has to be earned.
My wife had a stock 73 Dart back in the day. It was a POS.
Jeff 426MOPARHEMI I just LOVE your '68 DODGE DART!!!! I'm 60 years old,and have LOVED MOPARS my ENTIRE LIFE!!!! That car is BAD ASS!!!! I guess that it has a 340 in it? I really wish that you would do a TIRE SHREDDING BURNOUT!!!! Also,I'd love to see it do a WHEEL STAND!!!! It is cherry red and Immaculate!!!! I'd drop a BLOWN and INJECTED 426 HEMI in it,and then it would be like DRIVING A MISSILE!!!! MOPARS RULE!!!! Just for your edification,I own a 1971 DODGE POWER WAGON with a 318 in it and stock,with a glasspack muffler on it,sounds like a NASCAR RACECAR!!!!
Brings tears of joy, hearing that sound...can remember my install of Headman headers on my 69 Roadrunner and the fire up...my mom was none to happy....what a thrill....your car sounds Awesome!
I used Headman headers on my 69 GTX during the mid 1970's. Des Moines, Iowa
@@Boots_on_the_ground back in 68 my high school buddy built his GTX and it sounded just like this and we had great fun annoying all the neighbors hahahaha i am in my 70's and can only dream of those days
So wicked. Great at-home garage build project. Outstanding job! Keep your neighbors happy by firing it up at 6 am everyday.
Or, don't be a dick.
Best sounding alarm clock you ever heard 😁
My old neighbor use to tell me my truck was his alarm 😂🤣good times
First image of the slicks and that rumble of the engine... SO envious! Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing.
"Sorry everyone" proceeds to rev it and go for a test drive. Can't say i haven't done this lol. Looking forward to seeing track videos
Lol
Lol it's always fun pissing neighbors off
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop my neighbors hate me too I have a straight pipe civic😃
@@sabre-ub3op I do it all the time in my open headers 1969 f100 ranger police have been down to talk to Me like 5 times since August buy everytime they just say have a good day
Such a beautiful machine and so pristine! My father had a Dodge Dart back in the day and he used to race camaros. I will have to show him this at the age of 70 haha! He will still be watching like a 6 year old boy at a candy store.
My 1st car was a '68 Dart GTS in 1974. Absolutely loved that car. Kudos on your fantastic ride.
I love how, in the background, that milk crate falls off the shelf from the good vibes!
😂😂
Always liked the Dart. Nice clean lines, compact.. And with this crate motor, what a great package! 😄
What a monster! Love the car, love the sound. Great job!
Disturb the peace!
😎👍
RUMM RUMM !
Beautiful looking and sounding ride! MOPAR guy here since 1966. Well done! Can't wait to watch the race videos
That car is beyond awesome, looks fantastic, sounds great, you did a absolutely fantastic job!
Sounds BADASS!! Great job on the rebuild, really enjoy the videos, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing some results at the track.
Hell ya brother!
My Neighbors can't stand mi! Wife and our Boys just laugh! Next door neighbors are Homosexual weirdos. Lol
That is one sharp ride. Looks and sounds amazing.
Very quality build !!!
Dude, that is one BEAUTIFUL car!! And the way it sounds, OMG!!! Killer man! Very very nice build!
Adjusting idle speed by ear - I love it. Beautiful color / paint. Sounds really nice.
Glad she's back among the living, one of the cleanest Darts out there!
Sounds Great !! Reminds me of when we lived in town back in the 90s. Our neighbors referred to my 68 Charger as The Neighborhood Nuisance. We moved out into the sticks and now make all the noise we want to. LOL. Best of luck when you get to the track !!
Nicely done. Growing up the were two cars that stood out from all the rest. One a Mustang and the other a brilliant blue and silver metal flake painted Dodge Dart. You brought those metback. Thanks.
Extreme beauty! Happy for you brother. Mine was a 1970 340 Duster. Brought back great memories. Salute...
Very exciting, sounds awesome and new wheels look great.
Beautiful 68 ,my brother Tim had one I loved that car I got to drive it 2times he never left anyone else drive it so I was proud as can be
She sounds great! I also noticed that she has a beautiful paintjob. You did a great build here, not to mention inspiring others to follow your example.
My nerves go through the roof just before starting a new build. Been at it 25+ years and still get nervous every time. Nice ride you have there! She sounds great. 👍
Sounds great.. I had a 68 Dart GT with a built 340..Had 4:56 gears.. never got beat in that car.. Love your 68.. gorgeous..
I had the same car but had to sell due to family needs.
@@55chevytruck I'm sorry to hear about having to get rid of your ride.. They were fun cars to drive and got plenty of attention...
@@garyjones2582 Thanks It is the story of my life. I would get a car almost done and something would happen and had to sell. Beer and women were my downfall.
Always been a MOPAR fan. Especially pre mid 70's. Beautiful car man. Treat her well!
Reminds me of my Mom's 69 Dodge Dart Swinger. Replaced the slant six with a 318,
put in a shift kit and sported that as my daily driver...
Thanx Mom !
Sounds awesome! Can't wait to see you run it.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic! I’m happy for ya!
I remember back in the day as a kid. If me and my friends heard open headers we’d be sitting at the foot of your driveway on our bicycles drooling. That’s something kinda rare nowadays unfortunately…
I hope the scuff on the deck lid buffs out 😉👍
Rare indeed. The deck lid will be ok!👍🏻 thanks for watching
That was me and my Buddys Back in the 1970s. Guy 2 blocks away had a Super Late model circle track car..We waited each day in the summer for him to fire it up Then one day he told us to jump in and took us around the Block...July 1977 I'll never forget
@@craigmeek6026
I wish more kids had the same curiosity. I’d be happy to explain things (and show off of course)
All of my kids are car folk - if they’re out on the road and see something in a driveway, behind a house or just cruising - they make attempts to get pictures and send them my way 😉👍

Everything about this car is sick!!! Well done sir!
Nice job . In 1968 I bought a Hemi Dart GSS from Mr Norms . It’s one of many cars I wish I had back . Thanks for sharing
Awesome ride!
I was the hot rodder on the block growing up in the 70's. Luckily we had some cool neighbors too. Many nights were filled with noisy cars, or burnouts going down the street.
I still have an old big block Vette with side pipes to stir things up 👍
You've got my sub
That is one hell of a nice color and an awesome paint job. 👍
Absolutely amazing sound!
Simply put. Beautiful car. Sounds great. Great job !
Man that thing is sweet ....love the color and those rims and the Dana rearend
When I was a High School kid in the late 70's, I'd drive the 1 1/2 hours from my house to Maple Grove raceway and race brackets on the weekends. If I was winning, the races would go till 10 or so at night. It gets pretty cold in October / November up in the mountains, so instead of taking the ramps out of my trunk and putting the exhaust back on the open headers, I'd drive home, down the Pennsylvania Turnpike with open headers, then get back to my house around midnight or later with the open headers...I was the youngest guy in the neighborhood, so I was always the topic of conversation... 🙂
Sounds like a good time! Lots more on the channel, check it out!
I bet you nursed that puppy home trying to keep it quiet!!!
Love your demeanor. Love the car and your care for it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Absolutely beautiful work man! Amazing.
Bringing back a lot of memories, always liked the boxie look of the Dart & Road Runner... Great job with your build !!!
The '67 thru '69 Darts are in my top 5 cars of all time. Imagine, the humble Dart which in '68 became one of the great 1/4 mile predators of all time.
Big power, small bock, even better !
PS, great color.
The sound of a bygone era. I would love to have you as my neighbor! Thanks for the memories.
Absolutely beautiful and the engine sounds incredible.. Congratulations man. Job well done.
Thanks my man. Lots more on the channel!
A nice clean build. Your car is a testament to your attention detail.
I always love to help my "GREEN NEIGHBORS" learn to enjoy open headers.
The kicker is ALWAYS a burnout in the driveway.
Rick
I don't think I've seen a better looking car than this, everything about it is awesome
That sounds Sick! Awesome job with it. Looks and sounds amazing!
I had a 68 Dart GTS with 340 4bbl and 4 speed. It was a very nice and fairly strong car. It liked 302 Fords and most 396 Chevys, Most stock small blocks were not much competition for it. Thanks for the video and good luck with your efforts.
Beautiful car...love the color!!! Sounds outrageous!! I had a '69 GTS with the 383 cu. in. motor. I worked it a lot and it ran high 12's in the 1/4 mile.
Man, gorgeous car, and just sounds so wicked with that big cam lope👍 If I started that baby up in my neighborhood the cops would be here within two minutes. lol
Perfection is hard to come by. Congratulations.
That LOOKS and SOUNDS FANTASTIC! Thanks for posting.

I think everyone is nervous at this point. I know I was after I installed my Brenspeed supercharger. 76 pages of instructions later after 6 days of work I was almost ready. Last couple of things were filling the new cooling system for the supercharger and loading the new tune into the ECU. It was a pretty complex job for a person doing it for the first time. More electrical work than I expected, right down to moving some wire locations on the EUC connector. There were 3 ECU connectors and the smallest one was something like 40 pins. De-pinning and moving some of those wires to new pin locations in one of the large connectors was way more than I had bargained for. There were other connectors that required de-pinning and moving wires around. There was new wiring for the new boost-a-pump and the coolant pump for the supercharger. New intake manifold, new throttle body, new fuel rails, new spark plugs, new belt system, an additional radiator, supercharger head-unit and new tune. So much to go wrong. Turning the key for the first time was a nail biter. So many things running through my head. It started on the first turn of the key. I let it run for 20 minutes, checking for leaks, over-heating, smoke out of the exhausts. Nothing.
So, I put the front bumper back on plus all the other parts that connected to it and took it out for a test run on the freeway. Everything was going good, so I gave it half throttle and suddenly I could smell coolant and steam was piling out from under the hood. I started back home, keeping a close eye on the cylinder head temp gauge. When it got high enough to go into limp mode, I shut it down to cool. I nursed it back to the near-by gas station, where I typically bought my gas. Been there hundreds of times. The woman would not lend me a bucket to fill the rad!! Company policy. No lending out tools, not even the floor washing bucket. Not even if I gave her $60 to keep until I brought the bucket back. I had to continue on, low on coolant
Thereafter, I shut it down before it went into limp mode. I was about 3 minutes from home normally. 45 minutes later it was back in the garage. There was coolant all over the engine. Impossible to see the source. So I filled it back up with coolant, so I could see where it was leaking from. No luck. It wasn’t leaking. WTF?
I called a friend to look in the engine bay while I ran the throttle. Still no leak! Then I gave it a good dose of throttle a bam, coolant everywhere. A clip-on coolant connector was the culprit. Only this time it came right off, so we could see where the leak came from. After clipping it back on and refilling the coolant again, we ran another test. No leak.
Of all the things I did, to install that supercharger, I must have not fully engaged that one clip. I must have pushed down only hard enough to get one side of the clip, clipped down. So there was no leak, except under lots of throttle. Just that one little thing and I could have cooked that engine. I tried not to think of all the other things I could have made a tiny, but fatal mistake on.
Took me hours to wash all that smelly coolant out of the engine bay.
Glad to see it moving under it's own power! Sounds great! Can't wait for your first track day video.
On a side note. When I built my first race 340 for my 71 Demon back in 1973 I really pissed of my old next door neighbor when I fired it up and broke in the flat tappet cam. He was like a grandfather to me but that day he hated my guts! He was a big man and he ran over and told me to shut it off! I said I couldn't. He didn't know about cam break in? I thought he was going to pull me out through the window! He actually died that summer from a heart attack. I felt bad but it had to be done. He never spoke to me again. My mom wasn't too happy either.😂
Your hard work is definitely paying off.👍
New to classic cars. Just bought my dream truck 72 c10 (project daily driver currently, nothing fancy). But the comment you made about being nervous about the startup and that you’d done a few of these, that’s how I get whenever I change anything! Lol such a newbie to it all but seeing videos like this just get me pumped to do work on my 72. Love to see the excitement you have that she’s up and running. Very cool man. As someone else said you should be proud. Awesome.
A thing of beauty. Brings back fond memories of my 340 Dart... although you're making about 150 more HP than I did.
My first car was a 73 Plymouth Duster, but as I got to know Mopars, my dream was a 340 Dart. or Barracuda. The 340 was my Mopar crush!
That's the sound of Freedom!!! I love how it blows out the camera mic out and you're way out in the street. Awesome Mopar!!
Awesome looking car, open headers old school sounds great, and the color is perfect 👌
That was an exciting moment . Very nice job and great looking car ! Good luck and have plenty fun with it ! 👍💪🏻😎
Sweeeet sounding! FYI The chicken in the back yard lost a few feathers scrambling out for safety at time marker 4:52.... I love my surround sound of that engine from your garage echo!
Sounds great! Was wondering where you've been, but you've been busy. Re: fuel line: the braid section between the 2 bowl tubes is a tad short. Can tell by way the braid is distorting. Just like with elec wire, u don't want to pull it taut between 2 hard points...won't live with temp variations, vibration, etc.. Add 3/8" and let it bow a bit between bowls and you'll be golden. (Don't want to be watching a fire vid) :) Rock on!
Great sound! Along with the 68' coronet super bee and 68 charger 426 hemi this is in my top 3 favorite looking mopars of all time. 1968 was THE year.....Nice choice!
Love it. My landlady asked me to move my MOPAR for a few minutes. I forgot to warn her the headers were open.
Iv'e never seen her run so fast.
Sounds nice and healthy great job,I would try two run the exhaust straight out the back looks so much better on a Dart.
Can’t fit with mini tub unless you cut gas tank. I have a you tube vid talki bc about it
Man, the sound of a naturally aspirated motor with a BEEFY cam can't be beat. Well, maybe a blower is up there too. I've always dug a metallic red paint job. Might be why that's the color of my truck!
:
Really nice car, and glorious sound. Well done. Look after her. 🇬🇧
Sounds Totally awesome and love that muscle car idle and rev!!!
Good to know I'm not the only one driving around at damn near 16 volts! lol saw your voltmeter. My regulator took a crap so I've been driving around at 16 to 18V, nothing on fire yet, apart from my ignition system which is probably loving it! Do you have an internally regulated alternator?
Sounds fockin' A btw :D
Ummm no stock unit. Hasn’t been a problem so far. Thanks for heads up tho. I’ll keep an eye on it
I grab old Mopar regulators any time I’m at a JY. Usually still work and are far better than new parts store junk.
There isn't anything wrong with ur fuel line
I've had the same issue many times. It just takes a little bit of time for the seals and fittings to adjust and work like they should
Car sounds good tho man
I'd be a little concerned that it's happening at such low "carburetor" fuel pressure levels. Probably under or about 10 psi? Too far back for me to remember those days. LOL
Could there be a manufacturing fault though? I know that it's possible: even Volkswagen group had problems with their aluminum wheels leaking air...through the aluminum!! They had manufacturing defects in their production with the material itself ending up being too porous which leads to letting air through the seemingly intact wheels!
@@pistonburner6448 we r talking about a Fuel Line not wheels
@@mikewilhelm5170 Yes. I know. I was talking about manufacturing defects and used the wheels as an example.
One hell of a sweet ride sounds amazing!
When you gave the heads up about the headphones, I went & grabbed a pair & cranked up the volume.

Nice job really well done dude I love the way it starts right up.....
ya gotta love the sound of mopars. they wrote the book on muscle cars. i loved my roadrunner.
Nothing sounds like an old American V8. No matter who made it. This beast sounds awesome my friend.
Love the sound of a great built motor!
