bb or sb for my 72 dart swinger

DartSwinger7 - I have a 71/440/727, I like it a lot and has been a great learning experience. If I was to do it again, I would probably do a 360. WAY lower cost in the end. Dont be like me, pick what you want to do - cruise / street-strip / Drag race / or rally (or combination) and build to that.

Recommendation would be a 5.9 magnum, re-do the heads, drop it in and enjoy for a bit to find your direction, becomes addicting.

I started as cruise only and have transitioned to high end strip with street functionality and it has been a learning curve. 440's are hard on bodies and doors, need to tie it together, they are hard on rear-ends, need to bulk that up, cooling is always an issue. And front end needs attention as well. BUT it is fun.

Good luck and be safe - I virtually built my GTO while I was deployed. Gave me an outlet and helped keep my mind busy during the monotony. I had a stack of parts in my garage when I got home. I built and decompressed for the first few weeks, really helped me as an outlet and alone time.
