65 dart gt build

Nice. I have a 65 Dart GT V-8 nearby in Sacramento. I don't move as fast as you and been on it 3 yrs. My Dart was cheap ($1000) but turned out to be a Reno car w/ some rust. I got a 64 convertible slant in the interim and fixing that too. I wonder how different the V-8 center-link is. I have my slant steering apart and held it up to my V-8's and it looked almost identical, but perhaps the V-8 drops another 1/2". I'll check the oil pan clearance.

Re fitting a 727, I understand you have to fold up a body seam to get it to clear the tunnel. Looks like you plan the Mopar BBP disk brakes, since there are disk brake kits that work with your original 9" drum spindles. That will increase you wheel selection. I am staying SBP.
