Here is what most of us low budget folks start off with unless very good at saving money.
My 70 dart swanger ( thats how John Anderson would say it)
It's been mine for about 3 years now, it has been sitting at my mother's under a tarp also under a carport. I finally loaded it up & brought her home.
First things first go apply for the title, I have a stack of paperwork like Bill of sales & all the work has been done by the guy who sold it to me for $400.00. I do need to put a roof on it since it had a vinyl top since it lived in a rainforest area of Washington state (which I have luckily) the rest of the body is surprisingly solid, quarters, floor pans & trunk very good shape.
It is to be a race car & nothing else
This car is getting my Andy F inspired 471
It will be a foot brake car for now & will decide gearing for the Dana 60 after the dyno which could be in the 650-700+ area
Goal weight 3-3170 with me in it.
Goal ET 10.00

I want to say a thank you too all who have taken the time to answer questions & steer me in the right direction for the 1.5 or so years I've been a member.
I will keep the progress pics coming....I do have a wife though, a full time job & some property to take care of too but I want to be racing next summer.
 
Get that plane off the ground !!!!!! Down the runway she comes ... !!
 
Take time to do things correct, less to sort out once you get it rolling! 65'
 
I like it! What are your plans with the 470?
470 is just about done in the machine shop.
73 630 casting block
It should be 11.8:1 compression with pistons .010 above squared deck
I have trickflow 240s & 1.6 Harlan Sharp rockers
Trickflow intake
Maybe dominator 1050 maybe 1050 4150
Unsure but I have the dominator already
Molnar crank
Molnar power adder rods 6.70 length. (Power adder just for if I wanna ad some fast someday.) It's thicker on the h-beams I can't recall
SRP 1.320 ch piston
Milodon oiling system
MSD 6AL2 & Billet distributor
Going to have howards cam grind a .700 over all lift solid roller cam 268-270 on 106 lsa
I'm probably forgetting some stuff
 
Very nice foundation, it's nice to see there are deals still out there.
Have fun with your project and good luck reaching the 10.0 goal. the 470 will make it easier.
 
I pulled out the seats & found 6 pin holes, kind of expected some given the way the roof looks

For some reason I thought you were building a duster, very cool you got a dart!. We will have to get together at renegade next year. I'm doing the mini tub and dana on mine now and after summer we will dyno the engine to be ready for next season.

After working over at Tim's on biggas duster I'm tempted to buy 1 & make a demon clone. Yeah that would kick *** getting together at renegade. I will also be doing usct minitubs, not sure on rear suspension yet kinda thinking simple caltrac set-up w/ split mono leafs but the Dana is already set up for ladders so I wouldn't have to hand over more money.
