Help inspire a young lad!

Spend some time wandering around the tech archives at www.bigblockdart.com. My son's Dart has a very mild 440/four speed/3.23 Sure Grip 8-3/4. Drive it anywhere, plenty fast enough, and has the wow factor when you pop the hood. A stock bore/stroke 440 is really a lot of motor for the street.

Now, with that said. After getting the properly set up for street driving (disc brakes, handling parts, rebuilt front end, etc.) which, in my mind, is the identical build no matter what engine the extra cost for a big block really isn't that much. Basically mounts (several options) and exhaust. Everything else costs about the same.
