    Opinions on this radiator/fan setup?

    What does the FABO brain trust think about a 22" Griffin universal fit aluminum unit w/ a 16" Flexalite 2,500 elec. fan to cool a modest 440 (cast crank, 9:1 comp, .030 over rebuild; doubt it will ever exceed 500 hp)? If the downflow unit would be insufficient I could spring for the crossflow...

    Original 71 Duster Seats?

    Do these look like original stock Duster seats? If so, what model? BTW I am likely to put these on sale; plan to go with racing seats and no back seat (useless anyway with rollcage). They are in very good condition.

    What`s the best way to remove the old crappy undercarriage coating (71 Duster)? Want to clean it up, fix any issues, paint it. Hope to avoid using a heat gun. This car is never driven on wet roads. Thanks for the help in advance.

    Winter coming, need advice for this newbie...

    Greeting 440 A-Body folks. I`m in MA and with winter coming I have a question. Since I don`t have a climate controlled space for my `71 Duster w/ low comp 440 Torqueflite I`d like to keep the car running (not on the road but enough to keep the motor going and the tires moving).

    Balancer Info for 440 Truck Motor

    Thanks to Geof, Paul, and Demon Seed for the info. The balancer appears to be the large version and has "use with 440 cast" inscibed on it. It`s not tapered but looks (to me) to be too thick to be the thin steel crank version. After digging up more info on this motor I`m certain that there are...

    440 Truck Engine 1969

    Thanks to all who helped with my header/spark plug issue, very helpful. The engine in my `71 Duster is a stock (except for a 750 Holley dominator and aftermarket manifold) externally balanced 440 from a truck. Has an "F" on the plate on the front of the block so I guess it`s 1969 vintage (?)...

    `71 Duster w/BB 440, have 2 in. tube headers to install. Previous car owner had trouble w/ headers burning out the standard length plugs (tubes too close, tight fit in there!) so the stocks are back in. Much thanks for any help here.
