Thanks, Geof! I appreciate it1

I, too, am running a Champion radiator in my Dart, and it's cooling an 11:1 390CID stroker that makes a bit less than 500HP at the crank. I regularly drive it on the street, and I frequently race the car. I'd recommend them to anyone.

There are a few options available. What are you trying to do with it?

Wise words!

I run the SS leaf springs and QA1 single adjustables out back with a 26x9.5 drag radial, and I can get it to hook pretty well. I've gone 1.7 in the 60' on a soft launch.

Jacobs Nitrous Mastermind is what I use to control it. It has adjustable dial controls for the initial N2O hit, Full N2O flow, Rev Limiter, and Timing retard up to 10 degrees. The problem is that ACCEL now makes that controller, and I wouldn't trust ACCEL as far as I could throw them.

I bought a new timing cover, and accessories when I put the Magnum into my Dart. It wasn't too tough at all.

OK. I've never run across that issue. The crank snout is the same for the LA and Magnum, so any balancer will fit as far as I know.

Sure you're not talking about a "poly" 318? That's not an LA.

The crank pulleys are the same bolt pattern for the Magnum and LA.

No problem! I ran into that whole debacle when I did the swap. I had all the LA accessories for the Dart, and swapping it to a Magnum presented a few unique issues. I had to get rid of the Maggy timing cover, water pump, and accessory cradle, then I bought a March billet pulley and bracket kit...

The Magnum and LA timing coves are different, though, because of the water pump rotation being opposite from each other. (LA = Clockwise, Magnum = CCW) I am running LA accessories on my Magnum in the Dart.

I'd use a GTS because I always wanted a GTS. "Clone" is the wrong term for what I'd like to build, though. It would be a GTS with a 426 swap. What's your definition of "cheap"? Just a quick search returned nothing I consider cheap...

Quick Fuel 750 with annular boosters.

LOL! True. If I could find a decent '68 GTS for a good price, I would sell my '70 in a heartbeat and build a clone out of it.
