You already have a big block A-Body, go with the 360, make it hot and make it look stock...
I may be parting with the scamp... to many mopars. I have a 70 cuda I have had since high school that's on the back burner.... another story. If I go with the 360 I have and a stock stroke would the 280 cam be a good choice with the other parts I have?

Actually yea, the mix of parts looks good. I would though recommend the Ededbrock Air Gap as will make more torque than a single plane.
Keep us posted. Sounds like a fun project. It's funny, I'm doing a 69 Dart right now as well...and in a couple of months I'll have to make the same decision: 360 or 408??
One more thing: if you choose a "ported" Magnum head, look no further than the EQ replacements. With a 2.02 intake and a very mild bowl blend, they will outflow ANYTHING else out there, short of a "race" head. Yes, even outflow Edelbrock's. Great pricing on them everywhere as well.

I'm in the same boat; starting on my '71 Dart soon and have several small and big blocks to choose from. Decisions, decisions...

I think I will stay with a small block, just haven't decided between the 4 speed or the auto. Im kinda up in the air on the color too. I like black, my wife wants like the B5 blue... Its still in body work. I have a piece to fix the trunk spring mount, door striker pin patches and there is some metal work being done on the quarters. Its completely gutted. I found fiberglass patches in the trunk floor that are being welded up too. not bad for a 44 year old...

I was never gonna go back to green. It was gonna be black. My new GTS was b5. Awesome color. If you want some sway to influence your transmission choice, I know a guy with a 4-speed GTS that nneeds almost all the 4-speed stuff I collected for the car.

There is quite a bit of metallic in b-5. I got to watch it mixed once.
