Steve, I'm really sorry to hear the bad news. I'm sorry I never got to meet your Dad. I'm really glad he got to enjoy the car with you for the past 2 years. Losing a parent is tough. I think about my Dad everyday and wish I could still be sharing some of my experiences with him. Cherish the...

Heading over Thursday. Setting up Friday. If you see the white Demon project car sitting on a trailer across from the Mopar Collectors Guide booth, stop by and say hello. COLOMOPAR, DARTZASTER and I will be selling parts there.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll put valve covers on my list for next weeks swap meet in Indy.

Been awhile so here is a quick update. I've got some wheels and tires put on the car. Got the pedals put in and also slid the engine and tranny into place. Next up will be floor pan and tranny hump work. Not to crazy about the blue engine with the blue body color. Almost too much. I'm hoping it...

Thanks for all the words of encouragement and clarification about the hood. Hope to have this thing back on the road by spring.

out with the old gas tank and 7-1/4 rear end. In with the new tank and 8-3/4.

Thanks Dan, that will help my search.

In search of the upper molding for a sharks tooth grille. PM me if you have something you want to sell. Thanks, Jay

The 340 is a 1970 block with X heads. Keith Black pistons and comp cam. The cam is a little hotter than a stock grind but still pretty mild. It should be about 9.5:1 compression. Everything has been balanced. It should run pretty good with the 4-speed. Looks like we'll be backing things up with...

Got the engine pretty well buttoned up and painted today. Next up will be replacing the K-frame and torsion bars.

I got the 340 short block together. Hope to finish the upper end this weekend. Next I'll be changing out the k-frame.

Here's the new project that my brother (colomopar) and I are going to put together. The Duster started life as a slant six with an automatic. we'll be putting a 340 and 4-speed in it with a 8-3/4 rear end. We'll also be converting to large bolt pattern and disc brakes. Should be a fun build.

I got a 72 Duster that is missing the engine and tranny. It was originally a /6, auto car. It has Petty blue paint on it now with 340 stripes and dual scooped hood. Should be fun. I'll try to post some pics later on. I'm going to put Jim's 340 and a 4-speed in it.

Hey Steve, things are going good. Jim was out my way a couple of weeks ago and brought this 340 with him. I went and bought a new home for the 340 today. If nobody claims it soon I'll have it in the engine bay real soon.

Numbers matching just means all of the components that have a VIN on them have the same VIN on them. Those parts are the VIN tag, radiator support, trunk drip rail, cowl on some cars, engine and tranny. Mopars didn't start doing the engine and tranny until 1968.

Just thought I would throw this out there before I put this engine up for sale. I have this 340 engine sitting in the shop and hopefully I can match it up with the car it came out of. The engine has a cast date of 11/18/69 and the VIN above the oil pan rail is 0R191262. If you know where the car...

I like what everyone else has been telling you. I start a new build by tapping out every threaded hole. Wash the block down with soap and water and brushes. I use lots of compressed air to blow out every crevice and hole. Never let the cylinders dry on there own. They will rust instantly. WD-40...

The old fish is looking good. Nice upgrades you guys are doing.

I can't believe there is a A100 in Arkansas. That is in Bill "Maverick" Golden's backyard. For those that don't know Bill, he is the guy that use to run the Little Red Wagon wheel stander.

It would be interesting to see how the duration at 0.050" lift numbers compare.

Good to meet you Tony. Thanks for having the banner there to sign. It was a good show this year. I got to unload a bunch of parts and got my rear disc conversion kit bought.

Hey Herb, I'll be rolling in early Friday morning. Probably about 8. See you there.

We'll be there. We have 6 swap spaces with mostly A-body parts.

It was a site to behold. Four trailers four trucks. Iron moving from this trailer to that trailer. All this going on at a miniture golf course parking lot in the dark under a street light. Somehow or another everyone ended up with what they were suppose to...at least I think so...lol.

Glad to see you made it home with your new ride. I guess you got out ahead of that freezing rain Sunday morning when you left St Louis. We ended up heading out about 6:00 am and had about 1/8" of ice on the windshield. It was a little slow going at first but eventually got out in front of the...

If I remember right, the 70 has the old style motor mounts and the 73 has spool mounts.

Wish I had these parts here in Illinois. I'd throw them on the truck and take them to the Mopar Nats for you on Thursday.

Hey Jim, I haven't been on FABO for a couple of weeks. You're hard to keep up with. You went from Dusters to a Demon and changed your user name? Should have changed your name to whirlwind....lol.

I enjoy a good practical joke but that is over the top wrong. I can't believe those idiots were laughing about that. There would have been some serious a$$ whooping going on.
