273 or 225?

Hey all,

Im trying to rebuild my ‘66 Dart and have came to yet another dilemma. My recent intentions were to rebuild the stock slant in the car, and try to hot rod it out a little bit, but now a new opportunity has risen. I found a ‘65 with a 273 that I could use as a parts car to make the swap to a v8. Is it worth the extra time and money to v8 swap the Dart or should I continue with the slant build? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Off topic, but if that 65 has a hood on it in decent shape, I’d buy it from you. I’m just over near Sacramento.

I’m building a 225/4 speed 65 Dart, if I wanted to go V8 I’d start with a 318 magnum from a junk yard vs the 273. JMO.
