72 duster Build progress
Well, as some of you may know....I have been getting back to work on my duster and building the engine for it and I have been buying parts off of many of you and I figured I should post up a bit of info and some pictures for everyone to see where its at and I will post more info and pictures as the build goes on.
engine info....
318 LA block
2536030
built on 7/27/1966
and was originally in a 66 dodge coronet.
323 chrysler V8 bored .030 over
mild cam
dished pistons
long tube headers
edelbrock performer rpm high rise intake
edelbrock 600 cfm 4 barrel
Misc. goodies here and there
mostly a Mild build (nothing to huge on power but far enough from stock to make the camaro and mustang owners around town know theres a new name in town ...MOPAR )
This engine is going in my 1972 plymouth duster and has a 904 auto tranny and I am planning on putting a stall converter in it.
It has an 8 3/4 posi rear end with 4.10 gearing, wide 15" rallys out back with a tall tire with skinny 14" rallys up front.
All brand new black interior (waiting to be installed after I finish up the engine)
All new plum crazy purple paint (waiting to paint until after engine and interior are done) and I will then put a satin black 340 stripe down the sides with a satin black hood aswell as the dual scoops.
picked the duster up last summer for $500 and I did alot to it and then winter came and progress slowed.....once spring was around the corner i started buying parts and getting back at it.
I will post up some old pictures and give a bit of a description of what is going on in some of the pictures aswell.
Hope everyone likes the thread!:cheers:
