The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!

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?

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??

That car is way too clean to cut up for a big block Imo. Even Mr. Rhino himself told me column shift GTS 's aren't real common. I can't wait to see it done.

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...

Make a DC K frame from a spool mount SB K frame and bolt it all in! I have a new AC box to put into the dart... Im anxious to get back on it too..

I would still leave it a small block. Good package for a street car. Did you have it painted the original green? 1969 Dart GTS 340 1969 Super Bee X9 N-96 1969 Coronet R/T X9 N-96 2015 Dodge Dart GT 2019 Ram 2500 Big Horn. Looking for the original block for my Bee.

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... Last edited by mopfried; 07/12/13 11:28 AM.

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. 1969 Dart GTS 340 1969 Super Bee X9 N-96 1969 Coronet R/T X9 N-96 2015 Dodge Dart GT 2019 Ram 2500 Big Horn.
