Just bought a fresh '74 Dart Swinger to crank on
 

My current budget isn't much; but over the next few months I have high hopes for this animal. Everything seems stock on her and very good condition, so my plans include mounting either a 383/440 or a 402 stroker in it. Tranny to fit.

My real question for the moment is whether you all could give me your opinion on a 9" ford rear axle. I plan on heading to the junkyard next weekend so your input would be appreciated.
Anything else regarding wheels, clearnaces, engine opinions, interior. etc. idc
This is my first rebuild seeing as at 21 I finally have a bit of money, so any input is greatly appreciated.

Also note she's got that golden slant six that was such an impressive little piece of ingenuity.

Welcome to the forum. There are lots of people with lots of advice around here!
