Engine comb. very close to mine , have u ran it yet ?
 
Have not started it yet. Soon though about to get my headers back tomorrow and will be wiring it after I cut and buff the body. With cars that are similar to mine (tube chassis duster ii should be around 2400 pounds and the motor should make 600 easy so I hope she's a runner

I didn't think enough of it when I set up rear suspension and selected tires. Large amount of torque. Just burns tires and wants to unhook all the way through third. Great fit. Great package. I'd do it again.

Any chance you could tell me the upper and lower hoses your using on this car? I placed a big block in my 1970 Dodge Dart and can't find the right hoses for this set-up. Would appreciate the manufacture and part number of the upper and lower hoses you used for your set-up. Nice looking A-Body car!!! Thanks for any assistance you could provide me...

I used Dayco C71654 for the upper, and Dayco C70664 for the lower(may need to trim it).

What I originally did was go to a parts store and order up a couple of different hoses for a B or C-Body application with big block. Test to see which fit the best and return the unused.

It's been a long time but I believe the upper may have been a Gates 20875 or Dayco 70352 and the lower a Dayco 70592 or 70369 (Maybe Gates 20558 or 20630). The latter of the two Dayco has tighter bends. Depending on what radiator you're using some will fit better than others but in all cases some trimming to one end (usually radiator) needs to be done. I do it on a table saw for a nice clean, square cut.

ProSports happen to be for other makes (including BMW) but worked fine for him.

Coffee&cars, I saw your car at the Octane Nights show in Ravenna. I got your phone number off the car, need to call you someday soon to see if you offer a 'shorty' style 727 blanket like Lofgren used to sell. I believe it was 16" long.

Are you referring to a belt that goes over the hump? If you are? I'm sorry, I do not make one like that. The belt types are one reason that lead me to design and build what I have made. Give me a call, I am usually here to answer the phone 9am to 12 noon. Or come out to Dragway 42 this Friday. I will be there for test and tune. Weather permitting of course.
 
just got her on the road 72 duster, 505 stroker, 11.5 to 1 compression full manual reverse valve body, 8 3/4 with 3.91 gears, runs on e85

Small tire heads up racecar I am working on. Keithblack 572 B1 headed engine with a plate system I hope to hit the track with in 2018. Health problems set me back some plus I’m a bracket racer at heart so that came first. Fingers crossed because I never played with nos before
