Just curious how many people have done this swap? I know its a bolt in for the small block in a B or Ebody, just wire up a pressure switch. I did it in my Challenger, best upgrade I did on it, better than the 3rd gen Hemi for sure.
Its a pretty easy straight forward install, but I know you need...
So I stabbed a new 318 in my 74 Duster and got it all hooked up, but it doesn't crank or fire. It does turn over by jumping the solenoid. Neutral safety switch is hooked up.
Does the entire dash gauges need to be hooked up to get it to start? I'm thinking only the ammeter?
thoughts...
Hey Andrew, still want to stop by and see your progress. Its going slow on my Duster. got the engine all hooked up, but need to try and fire it off.
Hope your doing well.
Chris
Trying to start up my 74 Duster for the first time. Installed a freshened 318, and no crank or spark. Does the dash need to be all hooked up? I'm thinking maybe ammeter connections...?
Thanks,
Chris
Have y'all ever messed with the upper bearing? The upper on my Challenger makes a squeeling noise when I turn the wheel and I wonder what an effort it is to replace that one? Anyone have an idea?
Thanks,
Chris
Will do. I'm thinking now about making it a 24 hrs of Lemons car. Have had lots of interest with club members, but need to get it all ironed. Shooting for Houston next year. Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know when I get started on it.
How you been doing Wade, still driving your Duster? Did Alex ever get his on the road? I've been driving mine for awhile now, haven't gotten it on the track yet though. I have some suspension issues I need to iron out first.
Hey Peyote, I see you are in Austin. I'm in Round Rock and am planning an 8.8 rear conversion for my Duster. Do you know about the Mopar Musclecars of Austin? mopar.org
