392 in a 70 Duster

1.5 o.d DOM tube fits perfect in the torsion bar crossmember.

I've got the transmission crossmember designed and about half done with the fabrication. Expect to finish that up next weekend. I wasn't able to get anywhere near 1 degree of down angle on the trans. 3 is about the lowest I could go without putting the driveshaft in the middle of the cabin.

After finishing up the transmission crossmember, I need to do the inboard relocation boxes and I can put the rear suspension in and make it a roller. The goal is to have it rolling by end of the summer so I can take it and get all the sheet metal professionally done. By the time Glamis season is over, they should be done w/ the sheet metal and I can start building for real.
