73 Gold Duster Semi retro budget build. Project BROKE.

Well, I have some good news and bad news. I'll start with the bad.
I decided to pull the trans off of the 360 so that I could get ready to install a 2400 stall. Well, I found out that the engine was froze up. Even though it has been covered and in a shed since the day we pulled it out of the running driving car they were in. Number two and three were covered with crap. It was froze pretty solid (will take pics tonight). So I decided that I will build a stroker out of it. That will take allot more time and money. So it will be a wile before the 360 is done and in.

The good.
I picked up a 69 Coronet 440 for a friend. He doesn't want the engine. It is a clean second owner car with 70K orig miles. The engine is a 318 with a 904 trans. I am getting the engine and trans out of that car and I am going to drop them in the Duster for the time being. That way I can still drive it this spring. I am really planning on driving it to MATS this spring. I think it will be fun just to drive.

I guess I just have to come up with the money for a few more parts. Anyone want to donate? :) lol
