- 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.

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!
Nice Dart. I love the way the rear wheels and tires fit perfectly in the rear wheel arches.
Funny to hear about Freiburger saying that: it was an older issue of Car Craft where the project car used lace curtain masking to create a striking paint job.
That gets on my nerves when people ask. When are you going to paint it. I didn't know things had to have nice paint to be functional.
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.
@@drewdavis239 same thing I was going to say. Can’t go 9s with 1000 dollars
@@drewdavis239 $15K JUST in the engine!! Probably got at least $30K in the entire car! I can build a 9 second car for a lot less, no problem!!
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.
I just picked up a 4spd 318 72 swinger for my channel and seeing this has me way more hyped up on it 😂😂 damn it!
Backyard but not low budget! Great build!
UTG: Best thing going on the internet. 👍
Sounds good mopar for street race
I LS swapped my 66 fury. Spent around 2500. Im pushing 700hp for now.
Love the lace roof.
That bread pan needs some love, throw some lace over it and shoot some paint on it. I love the roof ,very original. Cool car .
I love this!
I really like how that roof turned out. It was the first thing I noticed.
Hey man... Pig Pen is what I named my 67 Dart.
Cody I love the top !!! Great idea I'm going to do that to mine when I get the guts to take my top off.
I love everything about this car. F***** sweet
Nice car.
i saw that car run at orlando speed world during sick week. sweet ride!
I’d love to see a video on the big c body
He may not have a garage or fancy tools, but he has one thing us urban guys don't have.....SPACE! Lots of space to work with , without nosey-ass p*ick/Karen neighbors! That alone is worth a million bucks!! BTW,killer ride!
Yes i agree. My Grand Wagoneer.. i had to restore in a townhouse assigned parking spot.. with no room... no weather protection.. I had to toss ny tools in my jeep when it rained... it was veey fristrating.. I did the leaf springs.. frame repair.. floor boards... drop the tank... and everything else... Then my lift and so forth.
Took me 6 years to do in that parking spot.. but i did it.
If youre interested to see its on my channle.
Now i lived on 14 acres and have my own shop... and im soo gratefull... Now im working on a 76 Jeep j10.. and thank god i have a shop man..
It may be ugly but that car is worth a lot of money.
Pretty sure UT rocks got off when it started up.
Awesome video
Now that’s a sleeper 😂😂
Hey, have you seen my cake pan?🤣
Now that's a build it right and race for years or slap to gather go real fast for 4 or 5 weekends
It is low buck in comparison to what many are now spending. There is no more 60's when we could go to the track all day long for $5.00 with a stock car and have fun. Or circle track was affordable to race for a common worker. Now it is max bucks to compete. This guy did not blow out massive money. It looks like he carefully spent his money to have a very fast car for not a lot of money in comparison to what most spend to go that fast.
What a great Dart! What a powerhouse!🤩🤩🤩🤩
Box of shrapnel
Love the car but obviously my idea of low budget and yours is different
To cool.
There is nothing cheap about that setup
I'd like to know more about the exhaust system.
C bodies forever
Did you buy this car in virginia
Ya 9s in the 1/8 would be low budget but 9s in the 1/4 not so much
UT's Bottle Rocket is low budget. Not a 9 second car, but one helluva lot faster than 9 seconds in the 1/8th mile.
@@clembob8004 I respect the bottle rocket to me that's a low budget car, I guess everybody has different opinion on low budget
Maybe home built and well done , but low budget I have to question ?
So, did he start with a 383 block?
No, he started with a 360, added a 4” stroker crankshaft and probably a .040” overbore. Maybe a .060” overbore, but that’s it.
I think low budget is a matter of perspective, not low to me
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.
Low budget for 9 seconds and reliable
Not 9 seconds for low budget
It's crazy how expensive this shit is now compared to just a few years ago.
@@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.
@@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.
I love this thing. Absolutely love it, but low buck it is not 😂
You got that right!~~
That’s why it’s going fast.
@@rle1020 well thats fine and all. It's definitely quick and definitely badass. Just not cheap
Cost is always relative. I know someone who has a naturally aspirated Dart much like this one, except the body is much nicer, and he has over 30K into it.
@@clembob8004 yeah and then you have people with junkyard turbo setups making similar power for like a couple thousand bucks. I understand it's relative, I just dont think low buck or cheap or budget explains this particular car ya know
that blower is easily 5 grand now days actually cheaper to it it n/a
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.
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".
Neither are the internals.
Everything is relative. For what it does, it's EXTREMELY low budget.
Off the shelf parts with years of abuse that's budget friendly
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.
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.
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.
Okay, it's not a $250k pro drag radial car. But you really can't call this low-budget. He listed every big name in the speed parts book.
Awesome ride though!
you could probably get most of the way here for less than half as much if you were willing to risk breaking things
@@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.
Yeah low-budget is a relative term
This car is one of my favorites to watch when Drag Week is going on! It just screams homebuilt hot rod.
And the guy has some pretty good country songs out!
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?
When you say low budget and mopar in the same paragraph… I automatically discredit the “low budget “. Anything for my 69 coronet i expect to be a $100 bill minimum or pay 100 more than another makes part. I found my cheapest parts come from the Chevy guys that ended up with some dodge stuff.
Mean Green, great car. keep flip flop Freiburger away from it.
A flat tappet cam is impressive with that setup.
Very cool Dart!!! Love that Betty crocker hood scoop...lol.😂❤
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.
And that folks is why they make scatter shields ..
$15-25k engine, $7k blower. 😂 Low buck, my 🍑
The fact that he forgets what kind of rods... 🤣 He's got at least $5k in rotating assembly.
At least $7000.00 in the transmission. Several thousand in the Dana 60. The paint, hood scoop and seats are low budget though. lol
Inspiring Dart. Don't go nuts...just get busy, and have fun.
Finding ANY 60’s and 70’s RWD Chrysler cars in any kind of decent usable condition is getting pretty pricy. I considered building an Aspen/Volare wagon and was shocked at pricing now.
The engine is not what I would consider low budget…
This car isn’t legal to run 9s at any track I’ve ever run at. If this car is in the 9s it’s one of the greatest sleepers I’ve ever seen. I’m impressed to say the least. What does it weigh? I want to see a video of it running!
If anyone knows anything about engines and manufacturers parts names automatically you know this the farthest thing it can be from a “budget “ build. lol ProCharger,CP Carrillo, Molnar. My gosh.
The thing is you preach that this what you teach, but in reality your cars don't run these numbers. A stock compression 318 or pathetic slant-six don't cut it, whether you reverse the pistons or not. Oh yeah, forgot about the liberal use of a hole-saw.🙄
Wish i could get 14 mpg with my stock low compression 273.
Dont see why you couldnt.. i get 12mpg with an AMC 360 on a lifted 5000lbs Jeep Grand Wagoneer.. and a 727...
Any 6 cylinder on a carb should get 15-17mpg at least
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 The 273 is a baby 318 V8. The only thing I can think of is the combination of the Isky cam and low-in-the-hole Egge pistons (never again) contribute to the lousy mileage. In its prime, the best it ever did was 17 mpg with the stock pistons and cam.
Wayer injection is a nice crutch for lack of an intercooler, plus youll have alot less carbon buildup.
Win win.
Tony, how many of those Cadillac shirts do you have???
Please somebody give him a real Mopar hood scoop that baking pan is embarrassing on a Mopar
Love the scoop also this"low budget"must have happened before inflation 😂
I would go with an old-school square shaped washtub. That would get close to the old Hemi Dart/Barracuda scoop.
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.
JB weld the peices back together. And try to run it.😁 But seriously. Awesome Dart
Really wanna see the Newport back on the track again!
We had a powerglide explode like that 727. It was behind a rowdy ford Cleveland in a circle track car.
awesome...gotta drive down south to an event. i'm from the big app...who's selling some beater Darts that run?
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!! 🏁
Great video. Would love to have you and Vice Grip Garage together at another episode - he is grat but needs to get back to basics.
His budget car is a 10sec racing daily driver.
low enough compared to my buddy. Only the paint job cost 10k.
Price tag vs fun he's having?
Most of the 10sec. Guys only use the car on the strip. He does it on the boulevard.
For sure his cost is much more than my 5k 66 daily driver pontiac starchief executive but he's better on gas mileage and on ET a long way with my 19.5 feet, 11 mpg, low 14 sec-389ci.
I have more paint tho! I hot rod it a bit with a home made custom 3 tones black roof, dark cherry red sides and big silver rainbow that cut the eye effect of 4 doors to 2 doors. Maybe 5 pounds of paint that had up the weight to around 4405 with me. Hahaha
I wish i had a little plumbing like that sometime but my compression is too high at 10.5 and the connecting rods in those 389ci could not take it. I aint got the budget to rebuild the engine with that set up so im enjoying every little bit of the 425 foot pounds of torque untill its very end.
That's the single father of 2 littles girls budget life!
Nice content again Tony.
Very nice swigner! I think the little windshield round sticker helps the look.
Sedalia Missouri! That’s only about 30 minutes from me! I have a 74 Dart swinger should come look at it some time
Tony my man my friends dad worked at Trenton engine plant in Michigan had a satellite with a 440 six pack was in hotrod magazine for bracket racing working part time at ramchargers. Man Tony Detroit dragway was the place but there's still Milan dragway not far from Brooklyn speedway. I enjoy your show built a 400 with a friend from a imperial or Newport stuffed in a duster minus the slant six.I like four link but we did some configuration with the leaf springs and some fabrication with making rear shakles no wheel hop or pinion snubber.
Now that young man rocks…his car rocks ..his home rocks …and I love the pig !
I was going to go to drag and drive. Mokan is my favorite place on earth. I ended up having to work. Got one for ya. Robert Paxton Mculloch. Who's making money on his brain work?
LOL My first car was a '67 Dodge Dart.
Yellow with black vinyl top. Didn't care about drag racing though.
Love the dart my first custom paint job was 2 guys down the street had 66 chevelles and I did just the sail panels on the roof I taped it off sprayed it silver put the lace on it and then sprayed candy blue on it the first car was a big block the other was a small block my payment was 10 bucks and I got to ride in the big block car when they facedeg after that's what got me hooked on big block chevys
I have a few transmissions that are cut aways. They are in my mother's garage covered up since the late 80s
I bought them for next to nothing by an unknowing umm person
excellent video, awesome car, I need to see this car go go go!
I've never seen any other transmission scatter, so repetitively, so consistently as a 727. Had a buddy years ago that put a 440-6 and a 727 in a highboy Ford 250. When it scattered, he was hanging out the driver window with near a compound fracture.
Are you guys ever going to beat the fuck out of any of your builds???
Just wondering. Thanks
Hey Tony
Cool car, love the scoop.
I see the rod knocker in the background, what's up with the 4.0 build. Hope I didn't miss those posts
That blower SCREAMS!
Hurts my ears just listening to it here on the youtube!
Way to lean all over the guys car Tony. GD bro that’s like the tackiest move ever. It’s not yours get off of it.
Thanks. I will be fixing those wagoneer floor boards before I get on my 727 I rebuilt.
Like to c more 700+ horsepower mopars n/a blocks if its possible ilike casper andys truck the only ford i like not a chevy fan either
I thought 727s were bullet proof. The 903 I would expect to fail.
Hahaha he must not know fried bugger isn’t tony’s favorite person haha . Nice ride though.
You should take all the broken case bits in the box and send them to BigStackD so he can melt them down into an aluminum bar.
I'll drink or buy other bud lite or any Busch product again....... go tony go
Wow, this Dart is 🤩
I call bullshit on 9.90 quarter mile, and 14mpg.
Seen this one on D&D's the last couple years, always a favorite for this old dodge guy. Nice to see a profile on it, Thanks
14MGP??? 😍 My dog of a 383 only gets ten. I am envious!
Mopar A Bodies Forever..
LOVE the floral top, looks like the old mod-top without the colors.
