My son and I built a 1970 Dart with a 318 over last winter. It is his daily driver and we continue to do upgrades as he saves more money. We sent the 318 to be rebuilt and I really didn't have the opportunity to share the experience of rebuilding an engine with him. This car is my first Mopar and there was a bit of a learning curve as those who have helped us know.
I'm always cruising the local sale site for cars and such and found a 1972 Dodge van with a 360. It's showing 63,000 on the odometer and I could get the whole van for about $600-700. My thought was to buy that and go thru it with my son and do a bit of a performance build. We did not do that with the 318.
What are your thoughts on the price of the entire van?
Any thoughts on my idea?
Is there any pitfalls that I may not know about in possibly putting that in the Dart in the future? That would be our end goal.
Thank you all,
Matt
