I read that a little fast and thought it said "Now have to sell daughter, getting married and need money for wedding."

1992 Dakota short bed, 5.2 magnum- replace OD tranny with 904. good 8" converter. 8 3/4 axle assy from a-body (bolts right in) 4.71 - 4.88 gears .430 lift Lunati cam, Cal-Tracs, Goodyear drag radials. Your pick of aftermarket computer. .750 to 1.00 under.

......by using any Dakota from '92 to '96 you can upgrade the cam lift to the later .457 intake, .462 exhaust specs of the '95......just claim it as that year.....

just remember that any later model vehicle that has to run an upgraded computer system will add significantly to the cost of your project.....

Paul, what are your thoughts on using any of the '62 thru '64 B-body convertibles with the 383 - 413 - 426 wedge or max-wedge engines available...how about using a '64 Plymouth Belvedere convertible, or would a sedan or hardtop be a better choice...I've always liked something that looks a bit different.

I see alot of good choices here. I am also considering getting into Stock, but would need to do so on a budget. I have a 1989 Chrysler 5th Avenue. Would this be a reasonable choice or not? I think they were built from 84 to 89. They are cheap to buy and have a 5.2 V-8 and rear wheel drive. The Dakota option sounds great also.

I cant help you guys that are thinking about trying it out with combos or any of that stuff. But what I can tell you is what has been said a bunch of times on this site. BUY one dont build one. If I had just wrote the check instead of trying to build one I would a have already been running a long time ago. Instead I just pulled my car out of Body Shop prison number 2 on monday.

You can start a search in National Dragster for current Record Holders and see which Mopars hold them. Some unusual combinations...that fly.

Max Wedges are expensive to build and run and then you have to contend with the dreaded new cars.

I've been looking at the '64/'65 426/365 combination but Bob Mazzolini thinks the 383 would be a better choice
