71 Duster 360 (new project)
Ok....Tonya and I got the pistons loaded with the rings and knocked the pistons in....slammed the Hughes 264/268 flat tappet cam back in....was shooting for 104....hit 104.5 on the 1st try....close enough,,,,cleaned the deck....got the MLS head gaskets on with the ARP studs....Pulled the IMM ported Eddy heads out of the box....cleaned with some brake cleaner and compressed air...got them on and torqued down...
Tomorrow we will get the oil pump and pan on....Will measure for pushrods and see what i got....we put a new cam and using Howards EDM lifters so the old pushrods will not work since the seat in the howard lifters are higher so I need a shorter pushrod...
the other 408 is sitting in the background on the engine stand...**** is stacking up....lol
