Hello from Farmers Branch, Texas...

I'm an old(er) hotrodder/street racer from North Dallas.

I messed with Darts, Valiants, and Barracudas during the '60s and '70s, mostly 273, 4-speeds... but I did have the engine out of an AAR 'Cuda in a '64 Dart GT for awhile.

During the '80s-'00s I got into 1st Gen Mustangs ('64-1/2 to '66s).

My current build is a '68 Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe, sbc and 4-speed. (Don't build one of these... It is the oddball of the Chevelle world!)

With retirement looming, I'm now looking for an early Duster project. My thoughts are for a late hemi and 6-speed, with modern suspension, electronics, and EFI.

Welcome from Canada.

Don't say old(er) hotrodder, say longtime hotrodder. That's what I say, just to make me feel better. My three 20 something boys remind me too often of my age.

Don't be shy and share your experience with those who can learn from it.

Welcome to the Forum.......... I agree the 68-69 where are in there own bracket. Nice little cars tho. Cars were a little heavy bot with the "383 stroker" Should do the trick, they have great torq down low for that beast..... Be careful with that M21, Dont break it....lol

Hope you get a nice Mopar Project....

Good luck....Keep us posted.....
