1974 Duster Question - Leave Original?

decide what gives YOU the fun factor. sounds like the 318 does not offer the excitement you want. I say do not worry over originality. a '74 318 duster which is original is not some sort after mega buck rare project car. sounds like the Swinger is something you want totally restored? so keep plugginh away at it, and make the Duster a NOW in TIME cruiser like you want>
