I have a fresh set of Big Block Mopar 346 heads for sale. They were blasted and magnafluxed to ensure they were in good condition. They were surfaced .005 and I had hardened exhaust valve seats installed. I had a 3 angle valve job performed. The exhaust valves were replaced with new 1.74 valves...

Be careful during this Hurricane Matthew. Its rainy so far but the worst is to come! Orlando is doing good so far!

Hi again folks, Up for sale is a rolling chassis/project car 1974 Dart Sport. The body is reasonably sound, requiring floor and quarter panel tip repairs. The rocker panels are sound and solid. The glass is nice, the dash is in pretty good shape. The transmission hump cutout pieces I have...

Happy Easter FABO... Quick question as I finally start to get some body issues resolved. The P/O had fenderwell headers in this Duster and I'm going with the 440 and schumacher headers that wont require these holes. I'd like to either repair them (I have the removed pieces) or maybe replace the...

Can I get a few options on affordable piston choices for my 440 build? Mild street engine. 346 heads rebuilt with 3 angle valve job. New exhaust valves/seats. Camshaft in the .480 [email protected] area. Dual plane intake and a 4 speed. Rear end prob 3.55:1 I've heard good things about the six pack (2355...

Hi my FABO Friends! Just a quick question on what your opinions are on the heads for my 440 build. I had them reworked recently and when I was spraying them with WD40 to re-bag them I noticed a few scratches. These are the first heads I've redone so I have zero experience in this matter. Can...

Hi FABO! I'm rebuilding (finally) the little 600 cfm 1850 Holley that came with the 440 I'm building. Not sure if it will stay in use... Wondering thoughts and opinions on what this motor might run better with. The 440 is going to have a dual plane intake, most likely the 2355 six pack...

Hi FABO Happy Sunday. I'm rebuilding my little 1850 Holley (Thanks RRR for the write-up!) and after a carb dip and brushing the white oxidation comes right back. Any tips on how to keep it away? or is it even worth worrying about. Here's a picture of the metering block after it was cleaned...

Hi again! Quick question regarding the transmission crossmember for my build. It's the 1972 and earlier A body Biscuit style. Whats a good yet affordable bushing/mount to use with this style of crossmember? Thanks as always! Dale

Hi FABO... I have a great condition B&M Megashifter for automatic transmissions that I'm going to part with as my build is a 4 speed. It is an older shifter, with slight pitting to the chrome tower. The "T" handle is natural aluminum, not chrome like the newer (last 20 years?) are. It comes with...

Just a quick question about painting. Where would the exterior color end and the interior color start on a door for example. If I want a blue exterior and a black interior, where do the two colors meet at in regards to the door?I'm sure the jams would be the body color. Planning for the upcoming...

FABO I have a great looking sister car that came with my 1971 Duster. She is a 1974 Dart Sport. I'm not too sure what to do with her. Sold the Dual Snorkel scoop this week (Yes It has a Factory Dual Snorkel so that informative thread might want to talk with me because this 74 has a factory not...

Hi again folks! Was thinking about what recommendations for torsion bar sizes you might have for a 440 Duster, with a 4 speed. Nothing too road race style just a fun weekend cruiser with an occasional burnout. I am planning on power steering, manual disc brakes and possibly air conditioning...

Hi FABO! I'm trying to figure out a good way to make a set of stands to support the rear half of my 1971 Duster. Wanting it mobile outside so an 8 or 10 inch tire would be good. The front end seems easy to do with the bumper bracket bolts but i'm wondering about the best locations to support the...

Hi FABO! Finally going to post my first item for sale and wanting to do it properly. This listing is for a great condition dual snorkel scoop from my 1974 Dart Sport. Part number is 3573698 Very solid condition. Some tape residue on it, I didn't want to be too aggressive on the cleaning but...

Hi all, Happy Friday! Was the 1971 Twister available with the standard grill or just the sharktooth? I have a great condition standard grill that I plan to restore and am not in a position to buy a $1200 fancy new reproduction sharktooth. Thanks in advance, Dale

Hi FABO I'm finally putting this Duster build into a somewhat organized page ... thanks in advance to all that have helped with my novice questions. We bought these two cars in September 2014 and the plan is a cool Duster and to sell the Dart Sport. Both the cars have typical rust on the lower...

I have a nice set of bucket seats but I'm not sure what they are from... the plastic seatbelt retainer is part number 9730224... Leads me to think they are Camaro/Firebird seats. Does anyone recognize this seat? Thanks in advance for your time FABO! You all rock!

I Have a set of tall stamped big block valve covers. I plan on using them in this Duster 440. Im sure the fan blower wont clear. I read that these are harder to find. Can someone enlighten me on the availability on these factory steel tall covers?

Good evening my FABO brothers and sisters! Just a quick question on what is a good way to fill a small ding or dent on a valve cover... My 440 came with tall steel valve covers and id like to keep them, seems they are one of the harder to find valve covers? I cant hammer them out because of the...

Whats folks feelings on reusing head bolts for a mild (9:1ish) 440? Id like to put that 90 dollars towards other costs if possible. Bad idea or commonly done? Dale

Hola my FABO friends! Spending a beautiful day working on the 440 and was wanting to primer my timing cover and valve covers before painting them Hemi Orange. Will Good Ole Rustoleum regular primer be ok as I dont think those places should get all that hot? Or do I need to go get engine primer...

Hi all, Still digging into this 440 and was wondering if I can use the existing rockers on a new shaft or would I want new rockers also... I have a small pitting on the shaft at the rocker arm but the rocker arm itself looks good and smooth. Polish it out maybe? Thanks, Dale

Good afternoon FABO! My rockershafts have light polishing wear at the arms with no pits or grooves. The thing im concerned about is the ends have what appears to be an egging or taper/crush after the last bolt holes. The main shaft dimension is about .875 but the ends measure in at .885 by.855...

Looks like something got picked up and scored a path on the distro gear. Im replacing the cam should I replace the distro gear?

Good weekend all! Just a quick question on what looks like a few rust spots on this cam from sitting outside for a while. Is it salvageable as far as the rust goes? If so I'll mic the lobes and see how she looks for general wear. Thanks, Dale

I'm Finally pulling apart our 440 for the Duster project... Im trying to re-use as much as I can. I had a blonde moment and might have flipped 1 or 2 of the pushrods during cleaning so Im not 100% sure the orientation regarding the end to lifter or rocker is accurate. I was always told to keep...

Finally starting to work on this 440, she turns over easy with a ratchet so I dont think im in for too much drama. The rocker arm shaft spacer between the sets wont slide off the end of the shaft ( I popped out the plug on the end)...im a little hesitant to just emery and make it cleaner till I...

Hi again folks! Our Project Duster came with a 440 non motorhome engine equipped with a torker II and a Holley. The Holley is a 600 vac sec. List 1850-3. Should I consider reusing this Carb? The rebuild kit is 26 dollars not a big expense. The end result Im going for is a mild street 440. Let...

Quick question, sorry if its been answered already... you folks have sooo much info to read! We just picked up a set of cars for a 1971 Duster project, and they both have inner fenders cut for the 440 engine. I have the cutout pieces and would rather the fenders are intact. Is it mandatory to...
