thanks for the input gang. I do own mopars, I have a 71 rr 440 60 over with tunnel ram and two 4's stickin thru the hood. also 1970 super bee, 383 #'s matching, also 69 a1o8 van with 340 six pk. I have a clue about power lol. I don't care if the dz's not a tourq motor. putin 4 speed behind it. I love the look of the 61 apache. its not a daily driver! its a toy like the reast of them.car shows an such.i should have said oler chevy small block ther lies my problem.
I think that engine will do just fine in an Apache. It's a cool engine with a lot of history behind it, especially given the fact that it is a large journal small block 302. Back in the late 70s, there was a classmate that had a built DZ302 in a 1969 Chevelle Wagon and it turned every bit of 11.99s. Your truck, so have fun with your build.
