Alas, we have some progress. Waited for the CA heat to leave, made it through my final horse show of the year and recovered from surgery, so now we got some things done! Pulled the donor 318 from the Dakota, and pulled the motor from my duster. Will begin getting parts ordered, things cleaned up...

Same! It’s slated for 115 tomorrow just going to survive what is hopefully the last heat wave of the year

It’s horrible! Lol so we’ve been headed for the hills for RZR rides and stuff like that and figure as much as I’d love to be driving her, no sense in battling the heat and just getting mad cause lord knows things never go as simply as they “should” so can wrench when it’s too cold or wet to be...

It’s been a while! Summers here are horribly hot, so a lot of the summer is spent on other hobbies. Now that summer is winding down I think we’ve settled on plans for my Duster. We have a Dakota that has a good motor so she will be my 318 donor. Should only have to swap and then do water pump...

thank you! I forget everything he had said he found. I know some things but he knows so much detailed info sometimes it’s a little over my head, and won’t lie the disappointment had me a little off my game lol. I’ll have to take some notes on everything that was found. He mentioned something...

I am super paranoid about that haha so she basically just went from garage to trailer till she’s gone through more thoroughly! Getting closer and closer though to a first drive!

No, but I’m pretty sure that’s who my hubby’s Fury came from (if my memory on his name serves me correct) He’s well known in our area too, and my buddies dad knows him well, as he is also in the ranchos lol! Small world

Quick update! Thank you @lemondana for sending parts my way! Throttle cable and linkage all hooked up. She’s moved around on her own, suspension and other things definitely need to be gone through and will do a general tune up. Lucky to have a best friend who’s dad does more mopar restoration or...

thank you! I have some items coming from another member as of this evening! I will update the post

Awesome! keeping my foot out of it may be an issue but if you’ve got it, drive it right? I just want function and any little bit that helps performance wise I won’t be mad about!

Ok perfect! Look doesn’t worry me. I’m more function, but had it in my head it wouldn’t work (me making assumptions lol)

Rookie question…will the same kickdown & stuff work from 2bbl to 4bbl? Is it just a matter of connections/brackets and depends on carb you get I’m guessing?

Thank you! GUYS I’m torn….4bbl seems to be the way to go. Opinions on if doing this 2bbl set up is just a waste of time and effort? The indecisiveness is setting in. :eek:

Thank you! Will edit to add
