Great info. I’m going to do as much weight reduction as possible . I’ve considered an aluminum dash. I’m not sure if the straight front axel will be lighter than the k member setup or not. I should weigh it and pst the data

Trading out the K frame/arms for leafs and straight axle. May not be a weight savings there.

Honestly you might be right. I won’t really know until I weigh it all. I’ll probably do a comparison and post it for data sake. So future straight axel folks know what they’re getting into . Hard to say though one way it the other without weighing it. I’d bet it’s probably close either way just by eyeballing it

That car is beautiful. Could we talk a little bit more about your set up? I’m really intrigued. What compression ratio do you think you’re running, is she on ladder bars or super stock Springs? And is that an automatic car with a high stall converter like 4000 or so. Much knowledge to be gained off of this set up. You did a really fantastic job on the car too. It looks awesome.

Compression is 10.6 on super stock springs, goes 1.42 sixty foot, auto trans with high stall conv,, you just need to get the combination right, make sure you run a good intake manifold.

I've always thought about a build like this. But mine would be more show than go. High 11's would be fine and fun for me. Big motor, low weight combo is always the cheapest and most reliable way to go. Example, when hot rodding started, a model A Ford plus a bigger Cadillac engine meant you ruled the road. My question is you've already got your combo sorted out in your Dart, shouldn't it put you in the 10's easily with a lighter vehicle. Keep us informed on your build, Sounds like it's gonna be a fun ride!
