Hi Jesse and welcome to the group.  I've owned a 65 Dart GT convertible 
since Mar of 84 and it's undergoing a very slow (time challenged) resto. 
With the right components, your 318 will produce more than adequate power. 
The first thing I'd buy is a Factory Service Manual (available as a repop on 
eBay) - $46.00 or thereabouts.  You'll find it'll be invaluable. 
Unfortunately vendors who can help us early A Body people either have very 
little to offer or have really bad reputations about shipping stuff/taking 
your money and shipping much, much , much later (Laysons comes to mind).

Besides my Dart convertible, I also have a 65 Dart wagon (both are getting 
340 upgrades), a slant 6 65 Valiant Signet convert, a 65 Barracuda 
(upgrading from the 273 2 barrel to a 273/235 Commando) and just picked up a 
slant 6 66 Barracuda.  If you have questions this bunch of guys and gals is 
very knowledgeable and will try to help as much as possible.  You can also 
give me a shout aat my email address (mopar4me at shentel dot net).
