Dartin for Divorce

Gaskets here and I just got the cam and lifters

Everything still in the original packaging and lifters still sealed up! Looks good to me! Again 75 bucks for it and he brought it to Vegas from Pahrump which is about an hour drive.

The 1789 has pretty close specs to the comp cams 268h so I figure this should be a pretty good little bump for the car.

I read through an older Mopar build on hotrodders and they did Edelbrock 800cfm carb, headers, springs, air gap intake and xe268 comp cams in a 70 340 and got 400hp.

I don't have the springs, xe268 or 800 cfm carb but I think if I tune my 600 I should be pretty dang happy with my setup! Heck even though I won't do the cams for a while I'm itching like a druggy to start driving this heavy old beast! Man I love this car!

I'll have to keep an eye out for a good deal on axle shafts for the 8 3/4 rear end so I can start getting that put together and eventually swapped in with the 727

What's funny about you post is that these cars aren't really that heavy in the grand scheme of things. I think your dart is what 3100 lbs with a full tank of gas. That's actually light even with the steel bumpers and all metal construction. Modern cars with miles of wires. And tons of plastic and sound deadened are actually heavier. My 2007 mustang GT is 3700 lbs.
