Hey all, I acquired this Swinger in September 2008. My roommate gave it to me, since he had purchased a 1973 Plymouth Duster.
1974 Dodge Dart Swinger
LH High cost class
225 Slant 6 and A904 automatic trans
Copper metallic paint, with black vinyl roof (removed)
7.25" Sure-Grip rear end w/ 2.76:1 ratio
Beige vinyl interior
Lots of rust in the rear, and under the carpet, but that will be fixed once the rain stops next spring. Right now it is my DD, since I have no other car.
It currently has a 1981 Cordoba engine in it (came in the car at time of purchase) that was installed by the original owner back in '85. It has a cast crank (12 lbs lighter than earlier forged crank) and a hydraulic lifter valvetrain (as opposed to the solid lifter from earlier engines)
Here are two pictures that were taken when I was at a Slant Six Race in Redding California back in October.
Me on the left, fellow Slant Six racer Tristan in the middle who races a '75 Duster, and then theres "Fopar" who dropped a built slant in a '53 Ford Customline 4 door.
I finally got a camera, so here are a few more pictures that I have! Enjoy!
I love the hell out of this car! I am currently working on getting a new engine setup on paper, so I can gather parts and put it together. I already have a set of Dutra Duals, and am working on getting a dual 1bbl Offy intake for it. Should move pretty good!

If you have a Slant Six, you gotta sign up! You won't find any more info on the Slant Six than what you can find there!
