Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I'm trying to figure out what I am going to do with my build. I have a 318 in the can, not sure it is worth rebuilding it or jumping right to a new hemi for cheaper for the same power output. There is a lot of extras you need to run the new hemi in an a-body but...

Did I miss it somewhere or did you say what the new heads are? Also is it the W heads you are taking off or was there another iteration at some point?

Nice! Here is another one of the same truck:

Sorry, I just sold it about a month ago.

Very Nice!

Well, This have actually changed quite a bit since I last updated this thread. I am getting married in July, so that probably won't help with the finances, but I might be getting a house with a garage so that will definately help with the workspace issues. I have decided to just fix the...

I have a four speed and a five speed, If I could find a shifter for the four speed I'd instal it in my Duster when I do the engine swap.All my daily drivers have been manuals too, my left foot and right hand get bored if I don't have something to shift... Not to mention the tingle that goes down...

Looks good! Have you figured out what the antisquat is yet? Also, what springs were you running before?

The stripes look good.. But I think I would extend them onto the hood slightly... just so it looks like you meant to end them...

The only concern about that would be that Grade 8 bolts just break when you exceed their limits... Where as the grade fives will stretch and bend more... Definitely something to consider...

Exactly what are "these"? The dart looks amazing! Top notch all the way, and I yet to find a single thing that down't mesh with everything else. I'm thoroughly impressed.

Mechanical Engineering Student... Subscribed... I have Solidworks and I would be happy to help out. I was planning to build a dash like this... But I'm working on the mechanical parts of mine right now.

Nice progress! These dusters just start multiplying when you get one...

Thanks for the kind Words. The conquest is actually for sale because with school and work I just don't have time for more than 1 project. My Duster pretty much stalled when school started. I have been doing good to even have time to order a few more parts. And I have yet to put the engine...

More Parts... I now have Two-piece 11.75" x 1.25" brakes for the front. I also got my brake prop. valve, a bunch of aluminum rod-ends (I decided to upgrade to Aluminum and save some weight) and threaded rods for the suspension and my axle mount parts for my Watts link. I'll get pictures soon.

you might consider tilting the radiator FORWARD at the top. It will promote better airflow through it. Specifically if you do an air inlet from the spoiler.

Yeah, My second one will take all the performance developments from my first one, and integrate them into a whole package. I want it to be a reasonable substitute for a Aston Martin. Fast, and perfectly developed. Unfortunately, that takes a lot of time and more money then I'll have while I'm...

Well, I have an ipod... But I don't have much in the way of music on it, And I really wouldn't be able to hear it in my first one anyway. I'm doing my builds in the opposite order. Build one to flog, then make a pretty one with the learned lessons.

I have been considering wiring up something to put an ipad into mine... But then I stop and ask myself.. Why? And when would I use it. And By that point, I've pretty much talked myself out of it. haha!

My thoughts exactly.. I was hoping to pick one up tomorrow.

Sounds like a great idea! I've heard good things about redline gauge works. They can put new guts in the old gauges too so that would be even better than re-calibrating. I've never had any work done by them, but it might be worth looking into.

So today I finally got my engine up on stand so I can work on it now. It is always interesting opening up engines with unknown backgrounds. This 360 ran really strong when we took it out of the van so I was really wondering what was in it. Well, it turns out it has been over bored and...

Look what I got in the mail:

Thanks, but I already have a stock one. I'm looking for a performance one. And the aluminum one would help shed some weight.

I just got a package with my 1.09 Torsion bars and shock mounts as well as a couple other random pieces.. Here is a picture. More parts are flowing in, but I've also hit some hang-ups. I was going to go ahead and go to a full three-link rear when I changed the rear-end. But I don't...

They are. Will they let you move the rear back 1"? or is a stock wb required?

Much better.

Here is a picture of my most recent acquisitions. The big sticks of all-thread I got to cut down into smaller studs that I needed but couldn't find.

Quick question... Why did you do the intake set-up this way? Every bend and length of tubing add restriction and reduce efficiency. Why not spin the hat around and just run one bend straight into it? I'm just wondering. It looks great otherwise, can't wait to see more.

Hello all! Sorry it has been so long since I updated. Progress has been very slow as of late. On the bright side, I decided that I wasn't making progress and I would like to get it driving before I transfer for the spring semester, so I modified the design slightly, am almost done getting...
