1968 Dodge Dart 270

CARS said

Here is my A-body. A 1968 Dart 270 with a 225 /6, 904 on the column.

The rough draft of the plan is to have a Fuel Injected, Turbo Charged 225, fueled with Ethanol. The reason is the E85 has a temenduos cooling effect and around 105 octaine which I just think makes since for a turbo engine. I am a bodyman by trade, i've never programmed a fuel injection system before but I have re-built and swapped engines before. I have basic tuning abilities and a good network of friends that are willing to help. (They might just be watching me to see my goals go up in smoke, but isn't that what freinds are for?)

You might want to reconsider, the 225 does not have a lot of ptential, even maxed out, you will spend 3x what a good small block will cost. If you are doing it to be different, then thats cool. But I know someone that went and built his /6 to the gills with fuel injection, it cost him $12K and he ran a 15.0 in the 1/4. He is now getting ready to swap in a big block. Even with all the things you will need besides the engine, you will still spend half of what the /6 will cost you.

My recommendation is to swap in a 360. You can get the Mopar LA360 short block for around $1300, swap on some Magnum heads, Eddy intake, Eddy carb, a nice cam, headers, engine swap kit, and a new TCI trans, this combo would be good for 400 hp and cost you around $6k

Something to think about.
