'69 Dodge Dart Olympia Wa

[MadMaxCustoms]

Hello

26 years old, broke, and finally bought my first mopar and Im obsessed. Its a '69 dodge dart swinger. Came with a slant six manual 3 spd . I pulled a 360 out of a 1976 dodge tioga RV today. Found it on CL and it came with the automatic transmission (not quite sure what tranny it is yet.) Anyways, I am going to need a lot of guidance on this one. Hoping to meet some people in my neck of the woods that can help me out. I am a quick learner and want to learn as much as possible.

some questions already,

>Will putting a performance intake and 4 bbl on the 360 I pulled from an RV make a big difference in performance.
>Do I need to buy a 4 speed or will the 3 speed be fun?
>Whats the best way to get the forward leaning rake?

Anyways.....

Ill be posting individual threads.

THANKS!

Welcome --- From Pa. ---- Rake -- Stiffer springs & bigger tires in rear. -- A 4 spd would be more fun. Take your time, and you're likely to find one, on This Forum. -- There's lots of help here. Just ask your questions, and someone will chime in.

Intake and carb will help. Probably have to change the oil pan to fit in an a-body. To get a little rake, back off the torsion bar adjusters (3/4" socket) a couple turns.

Thank you for the response. I might leave the 727 that came with the 360 if it will fit in my car. Does anyone know if doors of a '70 to '74 dart will fit my '69?
