We're starting right from scratch on this using the red 73 dart that Dunc had for sale (cheers Dunc)

here's the plan

The car is going to be fitted with the AR Engineering Viper front caliper conversion kit

Full cage

Not sure on the rear end yet

We are going to use a Small Block 362 stroker motor that Don is putting the final touches to :)

Our goal right from day one with this car is to get it into the 10's using a SB with no gas, we'll see :)

Sounds good ,all steel or 'glass bits?

the plan is glass but I guess it would be interesting to run it steel first

Don tells me the motor will make over 550hp, Jimmy at Racer Brown is doing a neat cam (guess thats the individual approach) so we won't know exactly what the motor will finally make yet
