SWEET!
A few years ago (nearly 30 infact) a couple of friends and I shoehorned a 68 Hemi into a 71 Dart Swinger. Needless to say, I couldn't wait to get to the local cruise with it.
I took many trophies (pink slips) home with it, but the best one was a 396 Camaro. The local Chevy star, if you get my drift.
We raced a measured quarter mile at Port Newark in Newark, NJ. When the race was done, I drove my Dart home, and my buddy drove the Camaro home...to my house!
I lost that Camaro in a race with a 440/6 Bbl GTX a month or so later.
I sold the Dart with the Hemi about 3 years later.
The best part about the Dart was that you couldn't tell that it had so much muscle. It was gold with a black vinyl roof and beige interior, with a bench seat.
Looking inside you could see the tach, and the stick from the 833. It also had a narrowed Dana 60 rear, tied sub frames, pinion snubber, and super stock rear springs.
the car was VERY FAST, and tracked very straight. What I wouldn't give to have it back again.
