Have the opportunity of picking this car up cheap...75 dart 4dr. /6 4spd.overdrive.I remember as a kid,in trouble w the law ,that many of these cars were ordered by various governments due to there gas mileage capabilities.{hit in the rear w damage to taighlight and bulged out quarter..} What r the benefits of this rig???I'm assuming it would b great for three on the tree cars....But wouldn't u have to put the floor piece in ????

if the engine is tuned correctly and in good condition this trans will considerably improve gas mileage in town and on the highway. i have one in a 76 dodge aspen which regularly got 23 town and 28-29 onthe highway with the sl6 and 4spd od and a 3.23 rear. engine also lasts longer. i have a 76 feather duster with sl6 4 spd od and 2.94 rear which gets the same around town but will do 30 and 32 onthe highway. definitely a good investment. would prefer the 3.23 rear because it is better off the line. the 2.94 is sluggish in first. good luck

I'm doing this swap now and I hope it's well worth the effort going from three on tree to the floor shifted 833-OD. Yes, you will have to cut off the floor shift floor hump from the donor car, cut a hole in the floor pan of your car and weld the hump in place. There are several articles, some I believe on this web site and elsewhere about about doing this swap and specifically the hump transfer. I have a 8.25 rear with 3.21 gears which I think will be a good compromise with about the same grunt as my old 3 speed/7.25 rear with 3.23 gears, plus the addition of the OD gear for better mileage. So if the 75' OD car is a good buy go for it!

I did this swap, and on the freeway I'm getting about 30 MPG, WITH a Super Six set up, too!

Why is the rum always gone?

Wait till you do the swap then try 3.55's with the OD and anything super six and better...




-D.Idiot

"What do you mean I can have good mileage and fun at the same time?!?!?"

well I was too lazy to pick this car up ,so I let my buddy rhinosix have a shot at it..Well he offerred him $250 and the guy took it ...We brought a battery ,and after discovering that the only thing keeping this thing off the road was a bad pos batt connection she fired right up!!! What rearend ratio did most 75 dart 4 dr /6 4spd. overdrives come with??? no air or trailer options that I'm aware of.....

How's the body on it?
