Replaced my Dart

I have a numbers matching 1970 Swinger 340/727 with factory A/C. I found the build sheet, all legible, undre the back seat. I rebuilt the ALL original motor, but wrapped it in plastic and put it in the corner. I'm building a TF head 408 for her, because I want to run her hard once in a while, including the occasional 1/8th mile at the local strip in the summer. I'm keeping all the body stock, and not doing anything that can't be undone to restore it and run it across the block at Mecum. I'm not being an a**, but I'd like your opinion on my plan if you were in my shoes. Restore and baby it, or go my route with a "disposable" engine and have some fun on the streets? I respect your opinion, I'm 63 and questioning my plan. All polite opinions are invited. Paul.
Yeah I wasn't trying to be rude.
Nice plan I guess, everyone wants to see how fast they can go with what they built, understandably. A body In the eighth you won't be over 95 mph with the street strip na sb you're aiming for or most for that matter.
My opinion of what you do with your car ultimately is just that...an opinion. I know that some forget that part when they read the responses and feel judged 'not assuming you felt that way' I'm just saying that's sometimes the case.
Have fun and make sure your doors still close right in the end.
