So there is a 440 on craigslist that I spoke with the owner about, it is from a 77 RV, it has 902 casting heads, I have heard of 906's of course, but what's the scoop on 902's? I am sure it is a low compression work horse, and reportedly has low miles. From what I'm told the motor mounts from...

I'd give my eye teeth for a chance at a car like that... It will be a fearsome street machine with some love and some time. Man, they just don't have backyard finds in San Jose like that. At least not that I can find, and I been tryin for years.

My duster is running again, and it's all thanks to Greg from berkeley, jomoper, and Big D from South San Jose, after going thru three different setups I got it right last night and drove the car, smooth as can be, and I have to give some credit where credit is definitely due. I have enough parts...

Well, there are definitely some differences between different 7.25 rear ends. The broken one I have has a five bolt flange and takes 10" brakes, the other one has four bolt flange and 9" brakes, and none of it will interchange, of course. And, you can't redrill the 10" backing plates to work on...

I have BBP axles that should slide right in, I pm'd you guys, I appreciate your help so, so much! I have SBP rims and tires too just in case. Either way it will be moving again and I am grateful!

No worries little brother, I know you, you'll find a better deal. Good guy alert, this guy, Dustya 383, gave me valves for my 302 heads, for free, with a phone call, he even picked me up. I've known this guy since he used to play with my son and he deserves a good deal. If you want I'll keep my...

Here ya go, this was once part of a spider gear. Should I just weld them for now? run a spool? I think I would prob snap an axle, the way this thing is built. My friend said DON'T DO IT but at this point whats the worst that could happen? Wait, don't answer that. I figured it out. :mumum:

I need an 8 1/4 or 8 3/4 for my duster asap, I blew my 7 1/4. I am in San Jose, ca. Please let me know what you have, I just need my car to run. Thanks!

I'm lookin for anything that will work, guys, an 8 3/4 preferably but will take 8 1/4 if only for now, I need the car to run. My landlord will have a s**tfit if he see's the duster parked. Anyone who can help, I have alot of great parts and cash.

I have Dunlap 265/50's in the back, that didn't help I'm sure. No, it didn't rev free. I have a rev limiter anyway, set at 5500 right now for break in. Its gonna be an ordeal, I looked on craigslist and there's nothing I can afford. Great.

Ya mine is a 318, too, and I was going around a corner at a stop light, I wasn't even really on it. Just a little. I'm on the hunt now, anyone in nor cal got a rear end?

The new engine isn't even broken in yet, barely 250 miles, I have never even pushed it passed 5000-5200 rpm yet,and I was just leaving a stopligt on santa teresa here in san jose and I heard a snap-ting! sound, and I drove it back home, it was a loud sound, very loud, I heard it twice more and...

While I have the headers loose I was thinking about packing JBweld around the pipe plugs to really seal them, do you think JBweld can take really high temps?

Angle wrench? what do you mean? an offset open end? a wobbler open end? I don't have any of those, actually, but I'll buy one if I have to, I want it sealed tight.

Thanks a million, man, I'm on it. Do you rtv the end bolts?
