Hi Greg. Your idea is like another one of my dozen or so fantasy builds.....if i ever win the lottery....lol.

My vision is to make serious "big block" torque along with the tighter converter and a 3.23/3.55 gear. Shifting at just over 5k, great street manners and able to easily knock off 12's with the weight of a A body.

A buddy of mine has a 408 in a 69 Dart and it has X heads with no porting, just a good valve job. 280/.474 Mopar purple cam, Air-gap intake, and 3.23 gears. Runs mid 12's and is very mild mannered. Runs out of wind at 5k but with 3.23 gears you don't need a lot of rpm.
