70 Dart Triple Treat Build
This build originally started as an 80 d150 build for Roadkill Zip Tie drags last year and has transformed into a rotted 72 Dart Swinger Special then to the current 70 Dart Swinger. The 72 I started with needed more sheetmetal than i had the skills for, then comes in the current 70 i have now which i found rust free for $1500 on facebook. Hauled from lower western ny to NJ, 6.5hrs one way to bring this gem back. Car is pretty much a roller which is what i need due to the amount of parts needed to be upgraded to accomplish my goal. I bet a couple friends that i will beat them overall at Super Summit this year in autocross and drags. Car 1 is an EVO X and the other is a 90s BMW 3 series...lofty goal on the autocross part but im confident with amount of info and experience ive found so far.
I have an 89 roller cam 360 out of my truck which is going in the car. Shaved, ported, big valve heads, KB rods and pistons, under-turned crank, roughly 10 to 10.5 to 1 compression. Builder stated it will make atleast 450 with the intake and cam were going to run. Behind that is a TCI 727 trans, 8 3/4 rear end from a 66 satellite. More parts of the build will be listed later on.
