My 70 dart thinks she's fat.

I love both big and small blocks but having owned both the small block combo is so much easier to work on. And honestly there aren’t many big block faster than my small block at the weekly races. Not saying big blocks can’t be fast but for some reason many aren’t. Good luck with your build and you are off to a great start removing weight. Put a nice suspension in it and some good rearend parts and let her rip.
Just curious what diff do you run in that beast?
