buying back an old project....and i couldnt be happier!!

well not much wrenching this week but i now have a working furnace in the garage so i wont freeze. however i did gather a few parts for the valiant this week!! i have decided to ditch the 360/727 idea the more i thought about this being a driver everything i own with a 360 in is hard on gas i know we dont drive this stuff to get good mpg's but i would like to drive out to columbus someday for the nationals and do it in an old mopar. so im building this to DRIVE and the better mpg's i get the more i will drive it ....i have a fairly fresh peppy 318 (ran low 14's in my dart) from my 70 swinger i just pulled in the fall its basically drop in ready so then i start thinking keep the 3.23 but an overdrive would be nice for the highway and wouldnt you know it i was browsing craigslist and i see an ad for a 70 dart 4 speed for $600 i thought well a little steep but ill look at it so i noticed in the pics from the ad that it was an overdrive trans so im thinking jackpot short tail od trans perfect but $600 no way im paying that for an od trans.... so after alot of negotiating and convincing the seller he didnt have a REAL 4 speed we got the price reduced to $125 which i thought was fair and it was local so no shipping... take a look at the pics oh and i also picked up a set of 4-speed pedals and the frane bracket this week too. so now the plan is 318/4-speed od.... im gonna need a few other parts like a z-bar, clutch pedal to z-bar rod, and the little trinket type pieces but ill cross that bridge when i get there...
