12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

Well pulled the trigger, purchased the holley mounts and the gear box mounts as well ,think all up 112 bucks. I like it, as definitely going a 6.4 so no cutting fire wall. I am in Australia and have to get it engineered so less items i cut and modify the easier and cheaper engineering is. I am changing to an 8, 3/4 diff anyway so would require tailshaft work regardless. Due to the cost of headers and shipping i may just have them custom made and copy the holley design or cut up set of tti. I like the holley pulls motor forward as more likely to get steering components etc to work as well.

I truly admire you guys that put these things in with an OEM K and steering and to add a degree of difficulty, a 6.4 / 8HP70.

Just for fun.....pictured is the new

HDK / 6.4 version with the engine / transmission located forward approx 1" and dropped 3/4" to save cutting up the tunnel. Just finishing up a HDK transmission mount that requires only removing the upper portion of the transmission / torsion bar crossmember and re-drilling the inner transmission mount bolts. A no goof template is included.

here are the positives.....
TTi long tube headers...out of the box / no dings or dents
Milodon center sump / Pro Touring pan....no mods
OEM A/C compressor....bolts on in OEM location with no clearance issues
power rack & pinion w/ Holley or similar aftermarket P/S pump.
room for OEM 2016 and up cooling / radiator
windshield wiper motor bolt right in , no mods
