Default Re: 1968 dart for ss

What you need to keep in mind now is that the Edelbrock heads are only legal on the 318, 383 and 440 in the Dart for '68 and '69....the 340 can only use the "iron" head replacement.....the 318 taken out to max specs is around 330 cubes and looks as good or better than the 340 package w/Edelbrock heads in SS

I would sure think about a 383". That thing of Mike Cotten's is very fast.

A .070 over 318 is about 323 ci and the 2 brl carb flows about 300 cfm, not a good choice IMO. The 383 is the best choice, the BB head is far superior and much easier to achieve the flow needed to be competitive , much of the money spent is on parts and labor needed to make the engine live at high RPM.

Shawn Blair runs a 383 in his '68 Dart SS/JA.
