I second 67cudafb, yank the motor and tranny and build a killer smallblock, exact power and drivability you want. This car is sooooo clean, you won't get anything comparable in a trade and you'll be disappointed. You can always keep the original motor and trans and prob rearend and store them. This car would be a wicked sleeper. I would guess the value would go way up with the conversion. Everyone wants a v8 dart.
