Spring Fling '09

Duster ran great until Feb 9 when 2 connecting rods in the Slant 6 shattered. Car is sitting waiting. All i know now is that I want a small block, 340 or 360. I'm fine with doing a rebuild,but would really prefer something that is running or just needs to be freshened up a bit. I would like to spend somewhere around $400 max, so it looks like a rebuild will be the way to go, besides, I just can't leave anything alone. Also going to need a trans and rear end, hopefully a 727 and 8-3/4, may already have the rearend, only from a challenger and need to cut it down. Just had a deal on a 360 i was promised by a friend's dad go sour on me and I intend not to leave the show saturday afternoon without an engine. I hate seeing my car sitting in the driveway everyday...
Autoxcuda....are you one of the guys from Cal Club? I'm the guy on the Cal Poly Pomona Formula team with the gold Duster that shows up to some of the Autocrosses and does the BBQ's while the car sits off to the side.
