Budget Friendly Build

I'd like to chime in here! I'm not a Small Block expert........come to think about it, I'm not an expart on anything!!! That being said it looks like you are taking a common sense approach.

The reason this caught my attension is about a year ago a younger guy called me to tell me his younger brother just bought an early 70s 318/Duster. (There Dad had a 340 Duster back in the day that was HOT!) The main reason he called me is because he's friends with my nephew and there Chubby guys and I'm Chrysler.
He wanted my opinion on go fast engines and I tried telling him to find a good rebuildable 360 and with good hot rod basics (Cam,Carb,Intake,Headers,Convertor and Gears ) his 16 year old brotherand friends will be amazed. Keep It Simple!!!!!!!!
He took my advise and spent 6 grand on a stroker that Summit sells and has had nothing but problems from what I've heard. This is not a chevy........you don't need girdles, brazeers and panty hoses to make a Mopar run!!!

Sorry for the long rant. Your low buck,common sence approach just caught my eye and once again reinforces that Mopars respond better then most to basic Hot Rod mods.

And those who don't get that are driving everything else.
