As about 98% of ya seem to know who I am now here is kinda what I am looking to do. This was my last BBC build. I will be doing the same prob to a Big Block Mopar for a Dart.

Motor
502 cid - eagle crank and rods- manley 13.5:1 pistons - Lunati 50222 roller cam 722 lift. - Dart Pro 1 325 cc Alum Heads 230/1.88 stainless valves. Dart stud girdles, Harland Sharp rockers - Jesel Belt drive, TCI Rattler Dampner Weind water pump - Team G intake - BG 1050 dominator carb - NOS Big Shot plate. Custom built 2 1/4 coated headers GZ motorsport vac pump.

9.8s at 137 on the 1/4 flat

So can a Mopar handle me ?

Welcome to A bodies. If you are seriously thinking of building a mopar A body drag car then I think you are in for a lot of fun especially after all your experience with the big block chevys. Race cars come and go, (chevys Fords etc) but a mopar is almost sacred, kinda like the movie Christine (although Christine was not a mopar but you get the idea), or maybe like a plant that you talk to, water and feed etc . These old mopars seem to have soul and some may say even a heart beat. Anyway, my opinion is that you don't need a heavy boat anchor like a chevy 502 with all the bells and whistles to run the #s your looking for. Small block or big block mopar, it doesn't really matter, you can make either one of them do amazing passes down the track especially with your back ground and experience.
There are a lot of good people here on this site eager to help with knowledge and experience. Good luck with your build whatever it might be.
