68 Dart first time out

Awesome! :cheers:

Motor specs? cam, heads, header, etc, etc...

What does that translate into 1/4 mile times?

Bought this 68 Dart for a street car. Has a 408 in it and runs pretty strong so I had to take it out to Irwindale last Thursday night to see what she would do.

First run
60' 2.681
1/8 8.82
88.1 mph

Second run
60' 2.260
1/8 8.40
88.47 mph

I was thinking it might run a high 7 but that just didn't happen with slippery street tires.


My goal is 7.50 - 7.60 so now the challenge has started. My self imposed rules at this point.
1. Full interior
2. No mini tubs
3. No roll bar

Thinking might need a new set of tires and a driveshaft loop prior to my next trip to the track.
