Why yes you can, looking back I should have done the 408-416 thing, bigger bore = more power, but this shall work just fine for its intended purpose. Its a bracket car, just a number on the window.

Raced the car this weekend at our national open up here, Runner upped in real street .4 pro tree, 12.0 index class. And lost in the semi's of pro. I was .018 to his .045 on the tree and the car chattered the tires time to move the leafs in for more rubber! -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

And the progress you have made since you started with the car as a student, and doing it yourself proves you to be a True Gearhead! It's a bigblock with a torque flight!!!

I'll try to keep waving the mopar flag with my generation. I couldn't have done this without the help of many people. Quote: Great story/pics, Dustin! Rates right up there with one of MoparBillyG's...... Keep it up! Wes Thank you Wes! Glad to see you back more regularly. That Billy can sure tell a story, truly enjoy his posts, glad I could share my own with you guys and gals. Quote: Impressive performance! I think you will find, though, that for bracket racing, you will need to run a set of bias slicks on there for consistency. You're definitely not the first person to tell me this! On a good track the car works great, and will 60' within a few thousandths all day, the bad tracks, not so lucky. That said I'm a bit stubborn still and have a brand new set of these drag radials sitting here to use for now. Once I move the springs in and buy a wider rear wheel I'll have a set of radials and a DOT bias ply to choose from depending on the day. Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you all enjoyed the short story. Now I just need to find a /6 grandma car to stick my old drivetrain into! -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

I like that its a real dual purpose car thats lethal on the track, and I have to say, I really like your attitude and enthusiasm. I am a bit biased though, I LOVE those 67 Darts. The upgrades are very cool and well executed, nicely done buddy. Impressive numbers out of that...ummm....318! Hey, if they dont know, dont tell'em. Sounds great in the vid. The camera inside is something I always wanted to do when I had my Dart but never did. Best of luck to you with the new combo. I dont say much here anymore, but I'll be watching. Ken.

Did you hit your et goal you were looking for ? Nice job on it and congrats on 10's. Ron Yep, still runs on 92 octane. Pump gas is the only thing I have ever run the car on this allows me to enjoy the car more. I drove it to work everyday last week, cruise it around when the weather is decent. As for my goals yes I would say it reached them, there are things that need upgraded still to get more power out of it, the carb, bigger header, bigger exhaust etc. But for now I am pleased with the way the car runs. Not many legitimate 10 second street cars running around up here. Thats great. I was kinda doing the same with my 63 as I just wanted a car that I could drive to the track and run on 92 pump and run 10's through the pipes which I did as you have. You race alot more then I do as I only race my 63 a couple times a year but thats fine with me as that fits my budget. I love to drive it everywhere. You did a great job as your car looks great and runs very good. Congrats again on such a nice job. Ron Last edited by 383man; 06/20/12 04:46 PM.

Ken Thanks Ken, coming from a successful racer such as yourself it means a lot. Still have the "340" decal on my air cleaner, need to order a 318 one for full effect. No ones going to believe it for one second Quote: Congrats man! That is a stout running combo! And that cam seems like a monster! lol Just curious if you home ported your heads or if a builder did for you? Great numbers and again congrats man! True street cars to the FRONT! Cam was Spec'd by RyanJ for my combo, at first I thought it seemed pretty big as well, but it seems to work! No complaints at all about it. Looking back, probably should have gone solid roller for more power, but it was my choice to stay flat tappet. Brian @ IMM ported the heads, good guy to work with as you know. I'll keep flying the street car banner, it riles a lot of people up when my street car is faster than their gutted, big tire racecar. In the end most are pretty impressed by its performance and what I do with it, some just shake their heads. They're made to be driven, not sit in the garage, this winter was painful for me to not be able to drive it around, even though the weather sucks up here haha.
