i know i shouldn't be saying this on this site ...but gorgeous buick....after building a 455 last year and seeing how much torque that baby put out..i was pleasantly surprised[althought i don't have anything good to say about their oiling system[mod,mod ,mod]..........

Thanks!!  That was a deal that was too good to pass up. I bought that car to turn it and make some money for my Dart project. Well, that was two years ago!  But it is now up for sale so I can finish what I started. Great car, and some great memories with the family in that car. There's nothing like the torque of a big block Buick, and drives like a dream!
   I used to consider myself just a Mopar guy, but as I've grown older I realized I love all cars, especially ones you dont see eveyday! Thats why I have a 66 dart, and a 72 Stage 1. I cant wait to get the "Little A-Body" together though!!   

[fasttcars]

so what are all the plans for the car..W-5 sb?....

[9secride]

 Well when I got it I was thinking bigblock, but after I looked into it Im having second thoughts. Im definitely gonna go with the alterkation up front, bigger meats, and now maybe a small block. I would lke to run 10's on motor. I've never had a smallblock before, I dont know anything about building one. I've had bigblocks with nitrous before, so im all for the bottle. Just have never had smallblock. these new smallblocks arent so small anymore....... Are you an engine builder?

  I love that Valiant!!!!

[9secride]

What's the low-down on your Valiant?? Cubic Inches, Rear gear, Et's, ect... Seem's like there's more fast Valiants around this site than early Darts. I like the look of yours, and theres a blue one I've seen that looks mean. I wish the Early A section had it's own photo gallery.

[fasttcars]

....... Are you an engine builder?

yep.....and yes with the early  a-body's smaller engine bay..nothing wrong with a stroked sb to get the job done....sounds like a fun little project....

My  64 has an 340  /  727 /  8 3/4  3:55  mini tub  15 x9 1/2  steel cop wheels on rear 15 x 4  up front, it ran   13:10  at 103mph  this year trying to get in the 12s

/ this year trying to get in the 12s

will get you their.. ...

[9secride]

Have you built many smallblock mopes? Is this a realistic goal? (10's) The car should be relatively light, even after the cage. So I didnt think it would take a ton of HP. Maybe 600 or so without NOS. What do you think??

[9secride]

6469mopar, do you know what your car weigh's?

[fasttcars]

it will take about 570 sb hp to get a 3300 pound car in the high ten's  with proper suspension..converter gears etc...so yes it's a very realistic goal..and street drivable...

[9secride]

 I look forward to any input you might have on my project, Now to sell this Buick off and spend the pyle of money I'll get! In one hand and out the other!!

[6469mopar]

I weigh it at the scale at  E Town in NJ  WITH AN FULL TANK  & ME ( 185 )   3450   LBS. 

[attachment deleted by admin]

[fasttcars]

 ..that's always the way it is...ah it looks like's a really nice car so you shouldn't have any problem selling it...

[9secride]

WOW!! I thought it would be lighter than that!! I better put myself & the car on a diet!!

[6469mopar]

I  have an  full interior,  steel wheels  sub frame connectors  disc  up front  , all my factory glass,   custom drive loop , custom motor mounts 3/8 steel welded to K Frame , cal tracks I  also had some tools and  jack in trunk.

  I didnt weigh my car before before I took it apart. It had a 273 in it. I read somewhere it weighed 2800lbs from the factory but that may be wrong. My goal was 3000lbs w/out me. We'll see, It's a street car so it will have all the glass in it, door panels ect.. No heater, radio,ect..Basically a race car in disguise. I have alot of idea's I've alway's wanted to try so it should be fun

[6469mopar]

Good luck

I wish that I was able to see the pictures.  I haven't got a chance to weigh my car either.

anytime you read about what the factory weight of a car is that's normally dry with no fluids..sometimes no jack or spare tire either...so it will always be a bunch more

It's taken me over 10 yrs to get where I'm at now on it.  Long story, anyway I'm almost ready to drive it.  I'm hoping to make this years Mokan Dragway's mopar weekend.  So I haven't had a chance to race it yet.  Much less even drive it.

  Nothing worth doing ever comes easy.... Thats why its so rewarding when its done!
  Most projects that take along time dont get finished, so be proud of yourself... Looks like you've done it right! Let us know how it runs!!

[az426hemi]

Hey 340, you have a very nice piece there.  How much more to you have to do?  I see you have pics scattered over the site.  I want to build my 63 Dart similar to yours.  I sure would like to see those pics in one place.

Thanks,
Mike

[340fyd]

I need to set up my own little site.  I have a car domaine thing, but haven't looked at it in a long time.
