Ok. Think it will be aqhile before i get there...
4 link rear and this is my first so i have alot of learning to do.
Will have a Rms front suspension.
Gonna run it with what i have this year then maybe next year change camshaft and carb.
Not trying to set the world on fire but trying to build a fun to drive low maintenance car.

haven't ran one of this combinations but I know a ton about most small block stuff. Getting the car to hook and go straight properly is half the battle. Once you get it dialed in it should run in the low 9s pretty easy. Nice dart and looks like a pretty decent build. Let us know how it turns out.

I'd think it will run a very low 9 aswell. You need to get the weight out of the car. 3000 pounds is way to heavy for a car like that. I would be trying to save weight everywhere you can. Get the holesaw out and start drilling. And if it hooks hard on those 31's then start going down in tyre size and rear gear. You want the smallest tyre on the rear that still hooks. Less rotating mass. It's all about the weight with small cube engines.

When i bought the car it was driveable but then i cut everything out. Didnt like the way it was/looked.
Redid all but rear framerails and roof and most of the roll cage.

That is a great combo! Guess it will be fun running the 4-speed smashing through the gears at 9000 rpms.....

Let us know how it goes man. I started another thread for everyone with R5 P7 engines to discuss what their doing and share pics and questions and stuff. Id like to hear about what everyone else is doing with these engines.

Thats exactly why i bought the car.
And it WAS a pretty good deal.
But since i "had" to replace alot of parts and redoing most, the good deal is lost but i really dont care as i believe it will be a blast to drive it.
