Aloha,

In my younger days, I was a Chrysler guy.

Had a 65 New Yorker, 68 Satellite, 69 4 dr Dart, 74 Plymouth Blues moblie

a Real ex-cop car. Had a 400 4bbl instead of the 440. For a 5,000 pound

car, it Handled well and was relatively fast. Ended up with a 78 Dodge

Power Wagon. I had fun with all of them.

The Dart had a 273 V-8. The smallest of the LA engines. It ran very well

and managed to surprise a few "sporty cars". The only problem with the LA

series of engines I recall was the nylon timeing gear would strip if you ran

the engine too hard.

I prefer the 4 door. If I could afford one, I'd put a factory 360 crate motor

with about 300 honest HP, rebuild the running gear and have fun with it.

BTW, there were Dart Police cars with either the 318 and maybe some with

the 360.
