dirt track'in a A-body

First how many a-body parts do you have to use up? That said with those rules I would build a 2wd dakota. start with a first gen frame. It dose notsay that u cant use a quick steer so get one. if you have to use the 318 get a 340 bbl intake (square bore) and port match the heads to it. or better yet ask them to let you run the performer intake like the chevys can. Thats 40# off the front very important for handleing. I would use the A-body leafs and just rerdo the rear hangers for the shorter spring. The truck lets u use ready avalible racing springs for the front. move the motor back as far as the rules alow even if you have to move or modify the firewall. the chevy guys will and if you want to keep up you will have to also. go over to moparchat.com and join the circle track forum lots of info there. I think you could use Dago Reds oil pan on the truck chassie but not on a stock chassie. If you want to keep that motor togather you must use a pan designed for racing a stock pan will not cut it. Good luck and have fun. I run a a-body in the IMCA hobby stock class. 4 feature wins last season in 13 races.
