That straight-6 in the Dart is just a good engine to work on. Simple, straightforward, ubiquitous parts, aftermarket upgrades galore, reliable, and can be worked on with basic hand tools. A good friend of mine in high school had the Dodge Dart Swinger, and we were always monkeying with it... and no matter what we screwed up, the engine forgave us, told us what we did wrong, and let us fix it before blowing up anything expensive.

I just have an affection for that motor....
