I actually purchased a Jeep Cj10a aircraft tug a year ago with a factory sd33 like in my dart, and the head had been pulled and by that point the motor was toast. Just last week I installed a turbocharged motor into the tug, and I’m hoping to get it all finished up and running and I’m interested to see the difference in output. The turbocharged motor came out of a 1980 scout, and was mates up to a 4 speed, and for my Jeep it’s mounted up to the factory 727 torqueflite, again, the same setup as my dart.

Sorry to anyone who didn’t get questions answered, I failed to make sure to check the forum. Just wanted to give a little update on the diesel dart! I recently took it to a local car show just for fun, figuring that it was no show car but some might appreciate the rare diesel option, and sure enough I won a trophy! I was very excited, as this was my dart’s first car show. Many people had lots of questions so it was very fun to talk about

New to the forum so I figured I should post about my Dart, as I have yet to physically see another. I have a 1974 Dodge Dart Custom with a dealer-installed straight 6 Nissan diesel in it. The diesel option has been questioned many times so I have found ads proving its legitimacy. I bought it just before I got my license, and I have driven it ever since. It is mated to the 727 torqueflite and averages around 27 to 30 mpg.
