10s for 10k can i do it?

Can be done.Big block it and build it light. Thats exactly what Im doing. As far as the cheapest big block build I'll vote for the 451 stroker,as theres lots of stock and off the shelf stuff that will work for it. The most important thing is to wait for the deals,and actually have the money when they show up. Buying good used components doesnt hurt either.

extensive use of fibreglass,losing things like the heater box,radio,wiper motor,window crank mechanisms,etc. The bumpers are real heavy on Darts,so going glass here just makes sence.

I just picked up a fibreglass front clip that includes the front bumper,valance,header,fenders and hood.I can pick the whole thing up myself.It cant weight more than 30 lb's. I probably just shaved better than 150lb's from the front end..
