Will this transmission mate up to my 318? 1974 Duster with the original 318 I have a good deal on an nv 4500 I wanted to know if it would work

Hello I’ve read through most of this article and I’m just curious. I have a running and driving 5.9 Durango I’m using for everything I need to do the swap. Can I just drop the motor into my 74 duster and bolt up a 5speed and use the factory Durango timing cover setup? I will be using factory efi...

Sorry I read that wrong. Thank you for the info I think I’m gonna move forward with the swap

Sadly the 3 speed manual has a snapped output shaft and is currently in pieces. Transmission shop apparently couldn’t find parts for it. I’m glad to hear no tunnel mods required!

It runs good and the body on it is in decent shape though The interior is a little rough. I honestly planned on using the factory fuel injection from whatever vehicle the motor came from. I know how this motor runs and know it doesn’t make any weird noises. I’m still on the fence about it but...

So the automatic transmission will fit pretty well? Or will there be some modifications required?

hey all. Recently I’ve had a nice 2000 5.9 durango fall into my lap and I was wondering what parts would need to be acquired to fit that motor into my 74 3 speed duster. The Duster has been sitting for awhile due to the transmission going out. Cool thing about it is it’s been in the family for...

Thank you again for your help. At this point in time I just want to drive it. I don't want to spend hours on end and dollar after dollar to put a five speed in it. When the time and extra money come I'll buy a tremec and do what I gotta do to fit it in there

Long term goals But I guess I just shell out 600 bones for a 4 speed and save myself a headache or two

Couple years late on the reply but it's a 318 lmao Never mind I guess I did reply! haha been gone for awhile

So what do you suggest I do? I'd like it to be pretty zippy and I wanna do some sort of restomod to it. Like modern suspensions n such

The account selling it classifies it as an nv3500 out of a 94 2wd Dakota http://m.ebay.com/itm/131714610194

Hi! Someone recommend I send you a pm about an nv3500 out of a Dakota swap into my 74 318 duster? I'd like to know if it's worth the hassle

Thank you, this might be the most helpful post to me. I know the entire rear end in the car is different. My dad was the one who swapped it out. I'm not sure what the top speed of a 318 3 speed should've been but my gps had said I never passed 79 mph and that's almost topped out. The motor also...

I was actually on that page on google before coming to FABO! lol I'm thinking I'm gonna go ahead and snatch up this trans

Hey there FABO! It's been awhile Since I've been on the forums but I wanted to seek some advice on a decent 5 speed swap into my 74 318 Duster. Awhile back I snapped the main shaft on my 3on the floor manual trans doin a little bit of showin off. I had takin it to a well known trans shop that...

I actually have the whole trans out already

Here it is

It's a 1974 and if I had to put it into reverse before 1st to stop it from grinding is that non synchro into first?

Rear end was actually swapped out with a beefier wider rear end out of a police cruiser many years ago, which is why that hasn't give out yet. My first idea was to find a 5 speed out of a 90s 318 Dakota but I can't afford a $1000 transmission right now. Guess I start saving my pennies And how I...

Side cover I'm pretty sure haven't seen it in about a year. It doesn't wheel hop I have the traction bars to prevent that

Sorry I'm on my phone and it's not loading up the entire reply so I've been getting confused with what your trying to tell me, yes there is a piece in the yoke. It also took a good chunk of of the yoke on the other side I may need another one of those as well

If the main shaft is what connects to the driveshaft then the main shaft is broken

Tail shaft is what I broke

Not very knowledgeable about things like that, I know a lot about things I own or like but as far as those old 4cyclinder fwd cars I have no clue. My duster has been in my family for 40 years. Bought by my grandpa and driven by my dad and aunts and uncles in high school. I'm just taking in any...

About a year ago I snapped the output shaft in my 3 speed Manual 74 duster.(showing off of course) Just recently I've decided that I need to get the beast up and running again for summer cruise nights. My grandpa has an abandoned 84 5 speed manual Skyhawk that he said I can have the trans out of...

just snapped the output shaft on my 1974 3 speed manual Duster. Instead of rebuiling it Im just looking for a 4 speed transmission, from the pictures it looks like it should fit all right. Got a price for me? If you still have the shifter Im interested in that too. [/URL][/IMG]

that's what I was doing when I took these pictures. there was a bit of play on the ball joints but nothing on the tie rods. I had it aligned when I bought the tires and while he did that I had him replace the wheel bearings . It drove so smooth after that and the tires looked like they were...

yeah that's my plan, I was gonna buy a cheap set of used tires to put on it because the uneven wear is whats causing the car to be all squirly over the bumps

yeah those tires aren't even 6 months old
