72 duster resto

I'm sure im not the only one whose run across a really good deal on a motor while building a motor, but I am now stuck overthinking things. Found a killer deal on a 408 stroker, freshly rebuilt. The remainder of my current build will cost the same, but will only yield me a refreshed 360 stock bottom end, higher compression aluminum heads and a modern profile street cam.

Ordered my 2.5" Exhaust pipes, mufflers and some correct headers but half the parts on backorder now. Other headers I had picked up in the initial deal were meant for fenderwell installs on early barracudas - but at least they'll cover the cost of the new ones, provided I can sell them.

Hoping to have more updates on the car soon - machine shop is taking their sweet *** time which is probably why I am itching to pull the trigger on the stroker and just put the car back together and enjoy it this summer...

Also have a new foster child in our home, all my other 3 kids soon will be out of school for summer, work is picking up, side business is also buzzing, and it's mothers day this weekend followed by my wifes' birthday next week soooooo..... odds are I won't be getting to the garage soon.
