Little bit of a rant about Mopar heads...

The whole point of the 318 combo is to try to find something really fun to do with my Dart without putting a bar in it. I have a feeling with the new tune in the Magnum I'm going to be running at that ET. To get down to the weights in the 318 Dart's native class (O/SA) I'd probably have to do other cutting that was even worse though (if I read the rules right, minimum is 2945 with driver - I weigh 135, so the car would have to be 2810 to run the minimum).

The record in that class is currently 12.18, which might be a tall order for a 2 bbl 318, no matter what tricks you throw at it. Might not even do it with the blue bottle! haha. Obviously you don't have to be able to run the record to have fun, but you can't spend real money on a car and not be a threat for the 11s!

I thought maybe I'd build something simple up to haul to the engine dyno and see if I could get within 15-20% of what I thought would be 12.00 horsepower. 290-ish with a good curve would make me optimistic. If I could do that, I'd get more serious.

I'd use a hydraulic roller block, so as a backup strategy I could put on some RHS heads, Air Gap, and a hyd. roller cam and take some people by surprise. LOL

The '74 360 has been backburnered because I sold my Challenger, and have decided against buying another car in the near future. And Im sick of spending real money on 360s.

The upside is that I'm getting in good shape hauling this stuff home, dissassembling it, going to the machine shop and back and soon loading it in the truck again to take to the dump.

Oldwirebender: I might be interested in the heads, depending on what you want for them, but to be honest I'm not real into dragging something else home that hasn't been fluxed or doesn't have a warranty!~ LOL
