Joe, i know this reply is somewhat distant from the time you started this thread, but in my opinion, its not the best idea to go with the Chevy motor for you dart. Many mopar people are gonna take offense to the chevy/mopar deal, and plus its just more work for you. I think a very well built 318 or 340 setup would do you much better, and gain you tons more repsect from mopar fans. I own a 71 Swinger, and i remember joking about dropping a chevy engine in, and even though i was joking, people were getting on my case. So i dropped in a mild 360 with some performance parts, and a performance exhaust. Ricers dont stand a chance, and mopar fans like it. Dont ruin the car with chevy stuff, keep it mopar, like mopar guys always say, its mopar, or no car!
