Re: engine choice?
This is a no brainer. Get a 69 grille, header panel and tail lights. You will need a later dart hood. Then run it as a 318 this is solid 1.00 under or more player.

Re: engine choice?
Paul, is there an advantage of the 1969 Cuda over the 1968 Cuda with a 318? I'm assuming that is the 1973-6 Dart hood, preferably the Dart Lite hood.
I guess there are some guys running the 318. From the latest "SLOW averages". Q/SA 69 Dart 5044 1969 Dodg 318 230 172 13.8 13.238 -0.562 T K-1 Q 5746 Q/SA 68 Plymouth 1968 Plym 318 230 182 13.8 13.092 -0.708 TK-1 Q Not sure why the 1969 318 is rated at 172 HP and the 1968 318 is 182 HP, but maybe that is why Paul suggested the 1969 Cuda trim. Sam Capizzi is the guy with the 1973 Dart with the 318.

Re: engine choice?
I was told to check this tread out. Paul is right. I have a 68 cuda that I was going to turn it into a 69 but I just sold that 318. I have not decided what to build next. By the way there is an accepted piston on the list with 4 valve reliefs. That took me over 6 months. Pat was very stubborn.
