The car is a stock '73 Dart Swinger with a 318 2bbl, 904 trans, pwr steering, pwr front brakes, and 7-1/4" rearend with 2.76 gears. I'm planning to do a little more than stock 318 rebuild right now, mainly just want to go with a little more performance than stock for the street.
Been reading a lot of ideas on here and think I have come to what I want to do based on what I have laying around and what I want from the motor and my budget. I'm planning on having some fun with the Dart and then selling it off.
I have decided to go with the following and am looking for inputs on what is good and bad.
1. Stock 318 block, crank, pistons with typical clean, flux, hone and reassembly. Polish the crank and new rings, plugs, oil pump, main & cam bearings, and hardware.
2. Summit 340 camshaft K6901 kit (with hydraulic lifters) with specs. .441/.441 lift and 276/288 advertised duration, RPM Range:1,800-5,500
3. '86 4323302 heads with bigger 1.88" & 1.60" valves, Comp Cam springs #911-16, and stock 318 pushrods
4. Mr. Gasket #720-1121G head gasket with compressed thickness .028"
5. Stock '84 360 intake manifold with 360 intake gaskets
6. Stock ThermoQuad carb smaller primaries, 1-3/8" (really want to work this out since I want this carb for my upcoming 340 build)
7. Stock ignition
8. Stock 904 automatic
9. Hedman Tight Tubes Hedders #78500 & dual exhaust w/something other than Flowmasters, kinda tired of the sound.
Ok, let me have it! rayer:
