Did you use an old torqueflite or did you use the trans that came with the 5.9? I read somewhere you had to make additional fab changes to fit the trans in a duster.

I appreciate the help! Between the both of your replies I think I've been persuaded to do it. I'll keep you posted!

I have a 72 duster with a worn out 318 in it and I also have an 01 ram 1500 with a 5.9 magnum small block. The rear end on my 1500 recently gave out and instead of replacing it, I just got a new truck. I'm wondering if I could put my 5.9 magnum block into my duster and how much fab/work it would...

So I currently have a 72 Plymouth duster with a factory 318 and 727 tranny. I will soon be having a decently good amount of money coming to me and I want to put it in my car. I would like to get a 340 for it and a four speed but I have no idea how much work is put into swapping an automatic for...

I appreciate all the input guys! I would thank you all individually but I'm not sure how to haha. I'm going to call springs n things and get rear leaf spring and shocks and hopefully order them and get them installed! As for the torsion bars I'm going to inspect them and try to crank them up a...

I'm nervous because I'm not the best judge at what is frame rust and what is just surface rust... Heard these things are pretty nasty if they snap

I appreciate the understanding. So could you recommend some shocks/leaf springs to get?

Haha is it really that easy??? I didn't think 500 sounded to unreasonable! Shows what I know. The only thing is that my torsion bars are kind of rusted out and I'm afraid they might snap... Guy said he may have to reinforce them. I just don't want to be under there when they snap

I'm new at restoring a car so I apologize in advance for a vast lack of knowledge... But I'm learning! I have a 72 Plymouth duster and it sits really low in the front. I took to a molar shop and they said I need to tighten my torsion bars and add rear air shocks. Now he said that would be...

I've read that a lot of people don't like the flow master sound... I like cheer bomb glass packs and I can't go wrong with the price but I'm just worried the sound will be too high pitch... I don't want my v8 sounding like some honda civic with a muffler

I recently put headers on to my 72 318 Plymouth duster. I love the sound and performance gains however it is way too loud to have driving around in my city. I've been doing research on mufflers vs glass packs and even then what brands but everywhere says something different. I just want to know...

I appreciate all the help. I think for now I'll go with summit headers for now and then when I eventually do an engine swap invest in some high quality tubes

Are the gains worth the extra money to buy headers instead of just getting a new manifold? Mine is cracked so I'm kind of being forced into getting new ones

I'm making the move up from my old exhaust manifold into some headers and I'm really lost on what to get. I want good quality but I'm on a pretty right budget. I'm hoping to get some for less than $250. I'm looking at some Hooker Comps but I'm really lost. Any suggestions on what to get?

I appreciate it guys. I'll go do that and tell you how it ends up. Hopefully that fixes my problem!

I'm restoring a 72 duster and ever since I bought it the power steering has pulled hard to the left as soon as I turn the ignition. When I say it pulls to the left it fully torques all the way over. I've been told I can adjust this, I'm just shady on what to adjust. Any help?

I've adjusted the accelerator to pump to all three positions but it hasn't made it much better any which way. Is there a chance the whole pump is bad? I'm going to have to redo my timing, I'll see what I can do this weekend.

I used a timing gun to get my engine timing right, is there any chance my carb could be causing the issue entirely? It was installed before I got the car and I don't think it was made for my engine based on some of the hardware they have on it.

I'm new on this website and equally an amateur when it come to working on my car. I recently bought a 72 Plymouth duster with a 318 in it. It has an after market edelbrock four barrel carb that the previous owner put on it. The problem I'm having is that when I put my foot on the gas, I get a...
