My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head
Alright, its time for an update.
I've been working on this one for a few months now. I left the thread here with a running 318 car.
Well, as I already mentioned the 318 smoked pretty good. I drove it around for a bit, but got sick of all the smoke and the lack of power, so I devised a plan. I have 340 I built for my Challenger. It's done, but the Challenger is far from it. Soooo....
The Duster is going to be a 340/4 speed car. And why not? Its a non-numbers /6 '74, so it can be pretty much anything and be worth more than it was with a /6. So, here goes.
Lets start with everything out of this thing...
Don't you just love California cars!
No rust here either!
We need a bigger hole in the floor for the 4 speed. Turns out I have a floor pattern for this, so out with the sharpie
A little cutting and...
I've got a 4 speed hump, might wait a bit to weld it in though. Make sure it all fits first.
