173 or 225 cu in??? the only thing that is touchy is the timing a couple of degrees off and they will not fire, worse on the electronic ignitions, other tan that they are bullet proof. One of the most dependable engines ever made.

In the 60's there was a ramcharger option on the 225 , had headers ( i think offy manifold with 4bbl,, gears , and four speed. They would turn 100mph in the 1/4 in the Dart/ Valiant cars..........way kool:D
 
We have one in a 60 belvedear sitting on the farm. Ive heard some cool tings about them though!
 
Dude,I wish I had pics of my '69 Dart to share with you !!! 225 cu.in,bored
.060 over,9/1 pistons,528/276 cam,head shaved .090 to give about a 10.5 / 1 CR,1.70/1.44 valves,MP Electronic Ign,Polished Offy Valve cover,Polished Offy 4bl Intake w/390 carb,Hooker 6 into 2 headers with dual flowmasters,Reverse manual shift 904 w/727 internals,TCI stall converter,3.90 LSD 8.75 !!!Mannnnnn I kick myself for selling it before I moved over here !!!! Best time in the 1/8 was a 9.89 !!People couldn't understand why I would waste my money on a /6 !!! When they had to ask if it was a 340 or 440 when I backed into car shows,I had my answer !!!I'm ready to do another one,just need to find the right toy to do it with !!! The wife wants a '67-'69 'Cuda !!:dontknow:

It was love at first sight. First wife drove a 64 Dart Convertible with push button transmission....god that was a great car! First wife? Only took 5yrs to figure that one out....never was the same after she sold it. ;)
 
My First car at 15 was a 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 225 slant six.

AND I BLEW IT UP! PERFECTLY GOOD ENGINE, I'M THE ONLY PERSON I KNOW THATS BLOWN A 225!

I don't miss changing and setting the points in that thing!
