I think im gonna try to buy the worked head from him and put in a little cam and call it quits. maybe $500 for all that. a little performance to hold me over thats all. ill have 10:1 compression and big valves but a smaller cam and carb so i should get decent streetability and okay performance

Okay. i get what your saying. I thought you were talking about lack of power to a v8 but what your saying seems true. The only upside is that i wont drive very far but the weather in pa can be unpredictable at times which only makes things worse. do you think by putting a better mannered cam in...

Please elaborate replicarracer43. im not arguing with you im pretty inexperienced and i wanna hear your input.

Thanks for your opinion. you are right though... it is less streetable. but the PO did use it as a daily driver and i live 1.5 miles from school so its not that bad. now what your saying is right that it a mild v8 will have better street manners. but rn i found a really good deal so i think im...

The PO had 3.73 gears in it. and i could always turbo it :D lol

It has a bunch of head work done to it. Oversized valves 3 angle valve job and a port job. the builder said it beat stock 4.7l mustang gts (275hp) in the 1/8th mile with 3.73s. i beleive he said it ran in the 8s? but it is very built for a slant and he said he never dynoed it but it beats stock...

I recently put on a holley 350 cfm 2bbl. I used a carb adapter and the stock manifold. It definatly woke up my engine. But i feel that there is restriction with that setup so i bought a super 6 manifold. I dont think you need too much more than that with the stock cam. The carb came with an...

thanks for all the input. i found a guy whos selling his slant for a grand. it has just about 300 crank hp so i think that will be good for me. its overbored, cammed, 10:1 cr, 4bbl etc. idk what the times would be but im also putting in an 8 3/4 with 3.23s so i should hopefully be around 14s or...

Okay guys so i have a 1969 dodge dart. It has the stock 225 /6 in it now with a 2bbl intake and carb and electronic ignition. I would like more power. i would like this car to be close to getting in the 14s (or faster). My question is would you rather put a 4bbl 500cfm carb with a big cam and...

I knew the engine swap is relatively "easy" but I was just wondering about a 5 speed manual swap. I never heard of anyone doing it with a 5 speed out of an old dodge truck but I know I'm not the first person to think of it

Well he sold the Dakota but I know a few ppl with one I could buy. Is it a pretty straight forward swap or is it difficult

So I have been thinking. I have a 69 Dodge Dart with a 225 3 speed automatic. I would like to do a v8 swap. I was looking around trying to decide what to put in it. Then I heard about guys swapping in 5.9 magnum engines and I remembered my dads 99 Dakota with a 5.9 magnum and a 5 speed manual...

hi guys i was just wondering if anyone has (or knows where) an 8 1/4 rear end that is for sale. i would be putting it in my 69 dart. i would prefer it to be an A body rear and i would prefer it to be a sure grip, but any 8 1/4 for the right price will do. i would like it to be as close to a drop...

So as long as it looks and seems decent i should be okay if it was working when it was pulled out.

But should i entirely rebuild it or just clean it up. Will it last if i just throw it in?
