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.

I also thought the 70 Duster's we shorter wheelbase then the '69 Darts??

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

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.
