Im not really a new member, Ive been looking through the forums from time to time for a while, but just never really posted. My name is John, I live in upstate NY near Rochester. I am currently working on a build of a 73 Dodge Dart Swinger which will be kind of a Muscle/Rat Rod type style, flat black paint, steel wheels and lots of home built stuff. I am doing a stroked 318 for it for now in lieu of the 408 stroker that will come later (R3 block, W2 heads, dual quad tunnel ram, etc). I joined up here because I would like to start a traditional style street rod pickup project that will have the 318 in it once the other engine is done. From what I hear this is a great board for getting information and tricks and tips, and Im always more than happy to learn new stuff, plus I am sure I can be of some help sometimes as I have been wrenching on cars for most of my life.
