Do you mean that you had one in storage that you would forgot about or do you think it's the e body housing?
How long are the axles from one end to the other end? How long is the housing ?

No, it was in my crowded, disorganized basement (more of a cellar). I couldn't remember for the life of me where it came from...…...
I was clueless. And then, about 1/2 hour later, I remembered buying a 8.75 from the old junk yard that used to operate in a neighboring town (been out of business for years...). I forgot about it. It came from a '65 B-body.
It's really flakey from all the dampness. I'm going to try and clean it, inspect it, and hopefully use it in my '74 Duster!! LOL I feel old now...…
How I spent the last 2 days.
What a pain in the butt to get out.

360 magnum? Did you have to take the grill out?
lol... I know the grill is attached, I own one. I guess it looks like the A/C and all is out....??
That don't look like a Duster to me. lol What good are all the engines, when you just pull them out and put them on the garage floor after you paint them. lol
I do not have any painted engines sitting on my garage floor. If I have a painted engine it's either in a vehicle or on one of my many engine stands or on my dolly to be put into a vehicle.
If one of my engines is painted it has been either built, rebuilt or all the seals have been refreshed and has a new oil pump and new freeze plugs installed after the water jacket is flushed out. Then new core plugs are installed and it's painted ready to go into a vehicle. I have 14 vehicles.
You know your always welcome to come over an lend a hand.
^^^^^^ I'm just giving you crap. I'd come and help, but I'm afraid we'd get along so well, we'd BS and never get a thing done. Not to mention all the pizza and chili fries we'd consume. lol
Bought pizza and engery drinks for the guy that helped me on this little project. lol
That 360 mag would look BEST in my '74 Duster

How many days of summer left?
If I re-entered the race now would I automatically win?

I think Jaba and I count this "race season" as this summer. In other words, September or October will work just fine. I guess I should have called it 2019 race between Jaba & 318willrun. Oh yeah, no "buy backs". LOL. You were beat in the first week.

Go! Go! Go! I need a "spy" in the Jaba camp! LOL... I'm probably going to get beat by a 440-6 pack with hyperstatic mud flap valve control!

Did you see those pipes on those headers in that Dart Sport? 2.25 Big Block Pipes, and I saw a Hemi head on the bench. An old Gasser, that's what I'm up against! A straight axle Gasser.....
(Fries will taste the same)

All I seen was a Durango motor....Did you see those pipes on those headers in that Dart Sport? 2.25 Big Block Pipes, and I saw a Hemi head on the bench. An old Gasser, that's what I'm up against! A straight axle Gasser.....
Then at least he has a magnum... all I have is a stock LA. and 4.88's vs 2.76..... I gotta do someth'n about dat
I took a "soft" grinder to it. It was pretty deep pitted. I ground most of the rust off to shiny metal, then went over it all with a drill and wire brush, now it is primed. I think it will be a good rear end for my '74 Duster. I should throw some 4.30's in it and headers on the 318 and see what she'll do … see if Jaba's stock 360 4bbl can take it down ! That would be fun!It's really flakey from all the dampness. I'm going to try and clean it, inspect it, and hopefully use it in my '74 Duster!! LOL I feel old now...…
Have you put the Eddy on yet. lol I hear they are the ticket. lol
I actually had eddies on both Dusters, because it's what I had. Guess what? Both Dusters went faster with Holleys (ET slip proven) and.... AND run better
Just ordered green bearings, vent tube and gaskets from Dr. DiffI took a "soft" grinder to it. It was pretty deep pitted.

What's wrong with the stock bearings?
Do you need a condenser for your truck ac?
