Another New Member with a 1963 Dart 170

I have been a long time lurker on the threads, but thought I should finally introduce myself and my Dart. I am the second owner (since 1997) of a 1963 Dart 170 that just turned 16K miles. Over the past two months, i replaced the stock 170 with a 225 (bored .030 over) including a Clifford 4 barrel intake, Holley 390 and Clifford headers. Still working out the little details, but I have enjoyed a few short drives.

I am sure that many of you may cringe that I changed an original survivor so drastically. However, I love this car and wanted to make it what I wanted it to be. Plus, I have every original nut and bolt; I could have it back to original in a few days. One other point to mention is that the exterior paint is all original.

Nice to meet everyone.
Tom
