Building up a Dart
Bang for the buck, I'd go with a '89-'92 360 roller motor from a truck or van :headbang: . They are littering the 'Pull-A-Parts' nowadays- and with a correct bellhousing and crank pilot hole (may have come factory), you'll have a budget performer. Higher up the money/power/handling food chain- a 400 stroker with aluminum heads, intake, timing cover :love4: . Will handle like a small-block A-body then, but isn't really too "Budget." Slant six? Got a buddy building a '66 Dart GT and the blower kit for it was $3000 :blackeye: . It has the cult/odd/different cool factor to it and the cubic inch dollars sunk into it.
