Hi All,
I am a new member and I wanted to get some information from you all.
I am currently in the beginning phases of my first classic car restoration. When I say beginning I mean I haven't even chosen the car I will restore.
I currently am leaning toward a 67-69 Dodge Dart being powered by a 340, 383, or 440.
My only previous experience with classic/muscle cars was a 1966 Ford Fairlane GTA (which I loved but sold it) The problem with it was how tight the engine bay was for various engine mods.
Questions:
1. Will any/all of the aforementioned engines fit in the Dart without problem? Is header clearance a problem?
2. Which motor do you recommend? (I'm leaning toward the 383)
3. Is there anything particular I should look for when purchasing a car/roller?
The intended purpose of the car will be cruising, date nights, and the occasional trip to the drag strip with a goal of somewhere between 11 and 12 seconds.
Thank you all in advance for your help and input!
Seth
