Picked up a pretty much rust free '65 dart 270 2-door hard top. No motor or trans. A little bit of rust on the drivers side front headlight bezel. and a little bit of mud on the passenger side rear quarter. trunk extensions looks great as do the floor pans and frame/torsion bar areas. It will be getting a cage at some point and a 8.75 rear. The big question is what kind of engine will be going in it. Small block stroker seems like the easiest route but we shall see...I have only a couple of pics because the car was tucked back in the barn. I will be picking it up next weekend if I'm not working and will get some better pics of it then.

Whats the best/cheapest route to go for installing front disc brakes on one of these old darts? Anyways I will keep people updated on the status if anyone is interested.

You will want to go small block and use the 73 and later disc brakes off A body.
if you are not fimilar with these cars you must be committed to the build, they are not your regular old A body

The engine compartment is small on these cars not much room for headers, TTI makes them and you can get 73 and later A body disk brakes with the upper control arms and install the whole package

It won't go unless you bump me off . Headers are not a problem, I can make a set up to fit. Dad
