R-3 block with 9 " deck.
3.79 arm and 6" rods with a 4.25 bore.
13:1 , with an eye on running E-85
Solid roller with grind yet to be determined , since the heads ( W-9's ) are still being sorted and I need numbers before I settle on the final lift and duration etc.
Same for the converter....until I get some numbers , I cannot order that.
I am going with a low 1st. gear 727 and 3.91's out back.
Detroit locker in an 8 3/4.....braced.
All of this in a roughly 3,000 lb 1965 Dart.
This is a " street car " in a manner of speaking.
I will have it on the avenue , but it will see a lot of track time.
I should back half it , but I am moving the leafs in ( SS leafs ) since I am breaking the bank on every thing else.
10 point cage.
AlterKtion up front.
Any help ?
I thought so.
That would be why I haven't replied.
Guess what ?
I know less about MoPar's than you probably......I have done the Chevy thing and big Ford thing.
But the members here have been gracious and forthcoming with their experience in my case.....a HUGE help to me.
But then , I live in St. Paul.
I wish you a lot of luck on your build.....I'd love to row the car , but the thought of leaving a trail of parts behind me twice a year scares the daylights out of me.
If I had to , it would be a stouter piece than and 833 just for piece of mind.
And that is well outside my budget.
I wish I could help......in spite of my relative newbishness , every once in a while a blind hog finds an acorn.
What I do know , I know from reading , using the search function and begging people who have beaten this path before me for clues.
And a lot of it I will just figure out the hard way.



If you went big block I could help ya.. I've never run a small block. Just looking to have some fun and not be the normal big block stuff. You build looks well thought out, and sure to be a runner. On a side note the duster was ss car running 9.93, went cal-tracs and went 9.80s. so I can help ya there.. Thanks
