Help choosing a v8 for my dart

I'd say don't buy anything yet, take a breath and drive it for a season as-is. We are not running out of 318 or Magnum deals any time soon. After driving for a season you'll get a better idea if you really wanna dig into a solid running car to get the V8 sound. These cars are a lot more fun to drive than they are to look at on jackstands. A year out you will have a better idea what you want and what it will entail to get there. Drive it and have fun as you collect the parts.
