Hello everybody. I have been a Mopar fan/lover/owner for several decades. Past models: 1967 GTX, 1968 Charger, 1973 Challenger Ralley,
1970 Challenger RT/SE, and the latest was 1971 Road Runner. My new purchase/project is a 1970/71 Dart Swinger combo. Car seems straight and so far no rust with a partially assembled 6 banger in it.
My Road Runner which I just sold was a 560 hp 440 and fun to drive for me, but the family didn't like rawness of it all; so I am thinking the Dart will be a little more mild.
I was thinking of a 350 hp ish 5.9 litre Magnum or 360 for this, so it wouldn't be a dog, but not hard to drive for the wife/ or future owner.
Part of the deal buying the car included a brand new MP 440 block and a brand new MP stroker crank to make a 493 or 500 cu in RB which I may sell to pay for the small block and hopefully more. If interested, let me know.
