MileHighDart, that is Valspar farm and implement paint. It is a single stage, uses hardener, and designed to sit outside forever. The color is FORD Tractor red. Sorry to disappoint everyone with my off brand paint and color! Lol

Where in Il.? I am in Rockford

I second the motion to calling the Magnum Mopar guys. They have given me killer deals, and a ton of info. Solid guys all the way!

An up to date pic of my 71 Duster.

Here is the newly completed K-frame

Hey Rick, regrettably not much in progress. It is the soccer season and I coach a team of my 18, 12-14 year old girls. It is my slow season as far as the car is concerned. I have ripped my k-frame back down. It was powder coated 4 years ago. I let my exuberance get the cart before the horse. So...

Hey as long as I've got all of your attention, what is this port and mumbo jumbo back behind the intake, beside the distributor? Do I need to keep it? Or can I just cap it all off, and plug it?

Peyote, honestly the brackets just got a good cleaning and scuff. The power steering bracket is actually cast horribly, it had all kinds of sharp casting flash and ugly edges, it got a quick, as in maybe 10 minutes work, with a flap style grinding disc.

Ugh! No I have not checked that out, thanks for the heads up! Guess that is 1st on the agenda tomorrow night.

Yes that is a stock Ram power steering bracket. It will most likely end up crowding the battery. Cross that bridge when I get there. The only goodies are a Magnummopar stage 2 cam and EQ heads. Thanks for the compliments, she looks amazing in person.

Oh and further mag swap input... Evan and J from Magnummopar have been awesome to work with. Well worth making a phone call.

Just my .02 cents. My mag install is not complete yet, so not much help. However I can share that Schumacher Tri-Y headers require zero grinding on the truck engine mount bosses. Bolt right up with room for days.

Just wanted to drop a pic of my engine as it waits for the 4 speed to catch up.

I've got an extra hood and the piece that goes beneath the grille, in fact all of the inner pieces at the core support. No fenders. Located in Northern Illinois.

I'm confused as to where this EQ heads only support 470 lift out of the box? That info seems to be false. I bought a set of bare heads through Magnum Mopar, with the cam he recommended. My stock heads were cracked. Took it all to the machinist, where he double checked the valve grind, and then...
