Steve, I'm really sorry to hear the bad news. I'm sorry I never got to meet your Dad. I'm really glad he got to enjoy the car with you for the past 2 years. Losing a parent is tough. I think about my Dad everyday and wish I could still be sharing some of my experiences with him. Cherish the...

Heading over Thursday. Setting up Friday. If you see the white Demon project car sitting on a trailer across from the Mopar Collectors Guide booth, stop by and say hello. COLOMOPAR, DARTZASTER and I will be selling parts there.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll put valve covers on my list for next weeks swap meet in Indy.

Been awhile so here is a quick update. I've got some wheels and tires put on the car. Got the pedals put in and also slid the engine and tranny into place. Next up will be floor pan and tranny hump work. Not to crazy about the blue engine with the blue body color. Almost too much. I'm hoping it...

Thanks for all the words of encouragement and clarification about the hood. Hope to have this thing back on the road by spring.

out with the old gas tank and 7-1/4 rear end. In with the new tank and 8-3/4.

Thanks Dan, that will help my search.

In search of the upper molding for a sharks tooth grille. PM me if you have something you want to sell. Thanks, Jay

The 340 is a 1970 block with X heads. Keith Black pistons and comp cam. The cam is a little hotter than a stock grind but still pretty mild. It should be about 9.5:1 compression. Everything has been balanced. It should run pretty good with the 4-speed. Looks like we'll be backing things up with...

Got the engine pretty well buttoned up and painted today. Next up will be replacing the K-frame and torsion bars.

I got the 340 short block together. Hope to finish the upper end this weekend. Next I'll be changing out the k-frame.

Here's the new project that my brother (colomopar) and I are going to put together. The Duster started life as a slant six with an automatic. we'll be putting a 340 and 4-speed in it with a 8-3/4 rear end. We'll also be converting to large bolt pattern and disc brakes. Should be a fun build.

I got a 72 Duster that is missing the engine and tranny. It was originally a /6, auto car. It has Petty blue paint on it now with 340 stripes and dual scooped hood. Should be fun. I'll try to post some pics later on. I'm going to put Jim's 340 and a 4-speed in it.

Hey Steve, things are going good. Jim was out my way a couple of weeks ago and brought this 340 with him. I went and bought a new home for the 340 today. If nobody claims it soon I'll have it in the engine bay real soon.
