Judge Mills' 1971 Plymouth Duster
I guess it's time to start one of these threads, that way all my progress is detailed in ONE thread... I have owned the car since 2001. Originally a slant 6 car, it is now a 318/904. Buddies and I built the engine back in 2002.
Edelbrock 600 CFM carb
Edelbrock Performer intake
Sealed Power flat top .030" over pistons
Lunati Bracket Master II .292 duration .480" lift camshaft
904 was acquired from my friend that owns a 73' Dart. It was made by some speed shop and is designed to be a mild performance piece... Supposedly has a better first gear, though I don't know what ratio it is....
At one time this engine powered a dirt racing Duster... but we don't participate in that anymore....
Right now I'm just piecing this thing together... This car literally had 4 different colors, and possibly 8 layers of paint on it... The driver's side rear fender is all banged up, and had up to 1/2" of bondo ALL over it.... So this will not unfortunatly be a professional resto, as I do not posess the body skills to pound out the wierdness that this car encountered in its past. This is not going to be a professional build up, just something I will be proud of driving.... Here are a few pictures to tide you all over, if you haven't seen them before already!
