Drop in a late model Hellcat hemi, 700-800 Hp and leave it the way it looks, with better rear tires of course!
I would buy a R5 P7 ex nascsr mopar and swap cam. Many believe the mopar were the most powerful nascar motors when they ran. But were pretty much a rebadged TRD deal.

The LA series can be a very stout piece even today.
I am guessing the Dusters had better weight transfer than the Darts. I know back in the early Pro Stock Days in NHRA had a lot of Dusters, Demons with Hemi power. Some quick cars.

So you're saying the TuRD motor was a MoPar or the MoPar was a TuRD motor?

I'm on another site with the engine guy from Hendrick's, Warp Speed. He said that, and a couple other engine guys who work with them said the same thing, few subtle changes as they had to make some differences. They had to do some changes for part numbers, but thought it was TRD that the based were based off.

Anyway, the few guys that have worked on the the newer Nascar stuff said the mopar was the one to get for a street strip deal.

The "search" deal on that site SUCKS!!! So if I can talk to Warp and get clarification I will.

being a Hardcore Chevy guy, I still think the early Dusters/Demons where some of the toughest looking Pro Stockers ever !!!

Agree Grumpy, i too am a Chevy diehard guy. Hated Fords, Mopars all the rest when i was younger. But lets give credit when due, the Mopars always had a place in my heart. Never liked their styling much. Own a 62 Plymouth Valiant with a slant six, three on the tree but that car had some zip, loved running around with that car way back when. Any who yes agree, the Hemi Powered Pro Stockers Duster/Demons were tough looking for sure. I saw some Dusters in the early 70's in Pro Stock with 340 cubic inch powerplants race, very quick cars.

The toyota has a different cam tunnel design ,more cam bearing mains ,20 head bolts, front mount distributor ect.Different from mopar.
as far as nova to dart comparison maybe a 68 L79 [half a point of xtra compression] would hang or better the 68 dart
[13 extra ci ]. Just my .002 cents.
