Replaced my Dart

Always good to have a dedicated race car 'one that is not so rare like a 340 car' so that you don't keep destroying real rare muscle cars. It's not a brag to have a 340 car at the strip, its a liability...it's stupid.
Go get some slant car to go race in and wreck 'hopefully not'. What you did was like wearing a tuxedo to a mud wrestling contest...like using fine china plates as frisbees. Aside from some special nostalgia g stock/a stock race....it makes no sense to bring those cars into the aisle a walls..

I have a numbers matching 1970 Swinger 340/727 with factory A/C. I found the build sheet, all legible, undre the back seat. I rebuilt the ALL original motor, but wrapped it in plastic and put it in the corner. I'm building a TF head 408 for her, because I want to run her hard once in a while, including the occasional 1/8th mile at the local strip in the summer. I'm keeping all the body stock, and not doing anything that can't be undone to restore it and run it across the block at Mecum. I'm not being an a**, but I'd like your opinion on my plan if you were in my shoes. Restore and baby it, or go my route with a "disposable" engine and have some fun on the streets? I respect your opinion, I'm 63 and questioning my plan. All polite opinions are invited. Paul.
