I have another 65 Dart body, am considering which way to go, A or B motor for a street car. I have many B motor parts, virtually every thing but rods and pistons, rings and bearings. Ditto on the trans and drive shaft. For an A motor I have very little. A small Holley, a high volume fuel pump, and possibly a good radiator.
I fabricate suspension, build headers If I have to, most any thing. Looks like I will have to convert to coil overs and build headers if I go B motor, unless someone has a better Idea. The B motor pan I have is a 10 qt dragster style, so the conversion to coil overs and a rack would help there.
I would appreciate a rundown of anyones' B motor early A, as well as small block early A setups. The small block is appealing but as mentioned I have very little on hand to start with.

I'd be interested in this info, also. Why do you think you would need to go to coilover/R&P, Greg? I was planning to do the same thing, just wondering if its absolutely neccesary. I plan to go with a RMS kit for the front.

I'm doing one, 65 dart w a 451 (B), 68-70 B body HP ex manifolds,streetmaster mtr mounts. Go to www.forabodiesonly.com and www.bigblockdart.com for all the info you desire (& then some)
