73 Duster build named Fred
***Edited to be my build thread***
Been looking 6 months for a clean A-Body to do a tribute build for my dad and finally came across one that wasn't a rust bucket or $15K+ so I had to grab it.
This build will be dedicated to my late father. 50 years ago, he brought home a brand new 1973 A-Body Mopar in F7/8 green (the color of my SuperStock). On March 4, I will be starting the tribute build of this 50 year old A-Body Mopar, a 1973 Plymouth Duster which I plan to paint F7/8 green someday. I’ve built quite a few cars, trucks and Jeeps over the years (some of which have been pretty wild) but this one will be my all-time favorite. Here’s to you Dad!
I have an opportunity to pick up a complete 360 (casted in 79) and 727 transmission for $300. Plan is to do a 408 stroker and performance build on the trans. Think this would be a good start for a street/strip 73 duster?
2nd question.... Who's stroker kit should I go with and why?
