Back in 2004 Mopar Muscle did an article about building a 400 HP 318. I have a notion of doing it. I have a certain goal in mind and it is to be competitive and beat my Dad's 74 Duster that has a 408 in it that ran it's best time of 11:26 last week. I have a 74 Dart Swinger. Mine is a lot...

Hey ya'll. I got a few questions. I have a 74 swinger bracket car. It has a SB in it now. I want to go to a 440. I am thinking about since I would have to change the K member and all that stuff of putting a straight axle under it. I have only ever seen 1 A-Body with a straight axle under it...

So I have a set of 302 Swirl port heads currently on a 318 that I am building as a seat time race engine. Hope to run 13's high 12's in our Dart. I just found a set of 340 X Heads that are available. Would they benefit us on 318 for some extra HP? If so what is a fair price to pay for them?

So I know that they old saying is that there is no replacement for displacement. But is the weight difference between a SB and BB worth the difference in replacing a SB with a BB? I know that a 360 can be built to run tough. Not sure on HP or ET on a built 360 or the dollar amount to get...

So has anyone out there ever done a straight axle on a 67-74 body style dart? I have never seen one and am thinking about doing it to ours? Just curious if it has been done and if there are any pictures of one?
