Rumble,
The car is a restored, stock 1968 Dodge Dart GTS. 340, 4 speed, 3.23’s. Firestone E70-14 redline tires. It’s a matching numbers car so racing is out but keeping the stock motor is in. The motor has a set of TRW forged pistons and an MP P4120231 cam that I installed in 1983.
The car had leakdown issues and my son Chris and I pulled the motor this weekend and tore it apart. Looks like some bore wear and crank wear will require a bore and grind.
I like the 372 package and have no concerns about the cast crank with a car like this. My plan is to reuse the MP cam package and swap in 3.55’s or 3.91’s.
I’m not looking to make 500 hp or run 10’s and I’m not wanting to swap to W2’s, eddys, or any of the other aftermarket heads. I want the car to look stock still. The wallet isn’t as fat as before, 4 kids, 6 grandkids and close to retirement, I don’t spend that kind of money on cars anymore but I want it nice.
