more pop off the line? stall and gears.
sound lumpy at idle? pull some timing out and take a few turns on the carb screws.
in all seriousness, it *really* depends how much compression you have. if it's reasonable, a step or two on the cam plus a stall converter will likely yield the results...
everybody wants a mo-tree home. nobody wants to pay the $$ to have it hauled and even fewer have the room to keep it or work on it.
they're cool AF tho.
with a motor that's been open like that and clearly has trash down the plenum already? i'd pass.
that's a lotta squeeze for the juice on something that you could get off CL/MP/OU for 500~1500 bux
ETA: just saw that it did have the carb and stuff. that's slightly more better-er, but unless you...
this bears highlighting and repeating.
[generally] the people that buy cars such as these are not like us. they aren't enthusiasts, or hobby driven. they may be "collectors" or in it for financial gain-- buying & selling, sometimes it's just a straight up rich guy flex, or they might be in it...
maybe it was their dream car and that's the reason they dropped the coin. you don't know the why or howcomes. also, when was the last time you saw a 70 dart 340/4spd car in a high impact color for sale? i'll wait...
not everybody buys to sell to make a profit. again, maybe that's their dream...
right now the 70~72 cars (duster/dart) are on a HARD upswing. high impact colors are having their moment as well so when the two combine, we're seeing unprecedented numbers.
as people get priced out of chargers and e-bodies, those cars are becoming more desirable because of their perceived...
easily mid to high 30's, maybe tickles low to mid 40's
there's stuff going on, to be sure. but the big important stuff, the expensive stuff is there.
throw in the auction tax and bump for the high impact color and there we are.
^^^ this. this right here.
anybody that looks at a muscle car has a punch ticket:
right year? *tick*
340? *tick*
4spd *tick*
right rear end with a sure grip *tick*
high impact colors are "it" right now. black interior is timeless. the rally wheels make it "right" along with the stance...
they're a pretty durable transmission, but they're only rated for like 300 ft/lb
there are some upgrades, but i doubt one would live long behind a V8 side stepping the clutch and hooking drag slicks.
