Day 1, project trans am series 1965 dart

dont know about the inner fenders, worried about space, plan on running a mandrel drive fuel pump, unlike the stock car, need an alternator, my plan is to basically drop one of my stock car motors into it, have a brand new 413 that has never been raced, 13.4 compression, since no methanol, going to diassemble bottom end and replace pistons and change rod length to get to 440 cid's, bit cheeky, will actually be a 438, 6.255 rod lentgh, going to have to turn the main's down, i have a brand new pair of Indy X heads, flowing above 300......planning on 225 or 235/45r17 fronts, and 265/35r17's back, Nittos nt555.....drove a used srt with the Nitto's some time back as a demo, the Nitto's rocked!!!!
since this car will be driven, not a garage queen, would prefer to keep inner fenders, will be fair weather only, but so much easyer to keep engine bay clean with them on...
this is not my first a body, race one in stock and super stock back in the late 90's before going to open wheel modifieds....

hated the torsion bars, the a bodies in a a dirt stock application have a significant issue with bump steer, also the front is much too weak to handle the stress of constant cornering left, in a class were stock components are mandated, the car does not do well, much to twicchy, was either very fast or a ill handling monster to drive, tended to be unpredictable, may be why going grey....the good thing is that very few tech inspector know anything about Dodge's racing on dirt and you can get away with just about murder....in the words of the King, they must be cheating cause we are and their beating us....
