got to spend some time on the duster today, made the plate to hold the deutsch bulk head connectors where the old one was.Still need to finish.

I haven't done much on the duster. Got this week off so I'm been cleaning the garage just to find to the Duster, seems to be a catch all. LOL I modified the stock Magnum distributor with a hall effect module from an earlier distributor to handle the spark. Hoping to make the block off...

on my Magnum I"m using the Mopar p5007790 intake with a edelbrock 3878 throttle body. For the LAs maybe the edelbrock intake they use in their EFI system. Hopes this helps,Paul

the distributors will interchange between the magnums and the LAs. For intake I'm running the Mopar M1 efi with a edelbrock throttle body. To handle everything I'm going with Megasquirt 2 controller. You can check out my thread here: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=41302...

Cuda67, save your self a bunch of headaches and cut of the drivers side truck motor mount pads if you plan to run headers.The stock exhaust manifolds will fit the Magnum heads. Enjoy!!!

The weight looks to be balancing just for the convertor and nothing to do with engine balance. Glad its coming together for ya. OG :happy7:

Now I'm not sure why this is happening. You can this: bolt your flex plate to the crank and put the convertor in place and see if any of your bolt holes line up. Is it the same on both convertors? The other thing I heard done is to order a 904 convertor with the pads equal spaced for the Magnum...

Sorry haven't fired it yet,slowly been working on parts for the EFI harness and found the deutsch panel connectors for the fire wall fed through.OG

OK now I follow(maybe LoL) The pic with the red convertor has no bolts in it. The flex is just sitting there upside down showing the weights.Your crankshaft is what centers the convertor to everything all you flex plate does is couple the power from engine to trans. Mine hooked right up once...

Cuda67 I lined up the three bolt holes and marked the one that was off. Clamped the flex plate to the bench and used a rat tail file to elongate. I did a trail fit as seen in the pics. Found larger headed bolts and put blue locktite on the threads. No extra weight is needed since your using...

I went through the same thing. I used the Magnum flex plate with the tone ring,filed one hole to match the 904 convertor. Used blue thread locker on the bolts. Have yet to fire it due to the EFI system. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=41302 Some pics in mt thread, hope this...

You may have to cut the truck motor mount bosses off your block to clear the headers. I learned the hard way.LOL If you have the headers I would bolt them to the heads before install just to check.

One lucky pilot.

Picked up a Edelbrock throttle body part#3878. Having to modify both fuel rails to clear. UGH But it is starting to take shape. Now I can also start building the wiring harness to mate with the Megasquirt2 and plum the fuel lines. On another note learned the hard way that you MUST cut the...

Sorry no progress yet on install. Been working on everything else. Hope soon though OG

I'm in the middle of doing that swap,with EFI. My 5.9 was out of a 99 Durango with OBD2. Looked into using the stock ECU but decided to go with Megasquirt2 controller. My thread is here in small block tech. Others here have also done this swap in one form or another. Happy transplanting

I don't think the oil pan will fit due to the rear main seal area. Yes the timing cover will fit. Are you wanting to keep the vee belt set up? The front balancer will be the biggie. The LA318 was internal balanced . And the Magnum is external balance. You will have to get A flywheel for the...

You will also need a oil pan and pickup tube off a LA360 for the center sump along with a LA pan gasket set. Also needed to make a spacer for the driver side motor mount on one bolt, or a mount for a LA360. Are you going to keep the serpentine belt or swap over to the LA vee belt system? You...

Did you match the new pump gasket to the old one? I seen the wrong ones in kits.And did you pack the pump with trans assembly grease or vasoline before install?

Thanks for getting the sunroof out to me Bob. It will be great to have a working sunroof in the duster. Just need to some other things out of the way. :toothy7:

I use a Hobart 140 for most of my welding up to 1/4 inch. Its a really nice welder for 110V. For the heavier metal I drag out the 180 220V to use. We use Miller at work. For the price difference between Miller and Hobart, I would go with Hobart for the home. Haven't used Lincoln in a long time...

Hey Hi Raven, Boy its a small world lol

Are you going EFI or carb? There is others here that have done this swap. Jump in any time

Crap ya found me!!!!! Yes it is lol its a small world.

Sorry no updates as of yet. Been to cold out. lol And now I need to replaced the head on my daily driver (good weather) due to a blown timing belt.ugh

Some where I may have a picture of one I had here ... Now the hunting starts:read2::read2:

I wonder if it wasn't a 413? They used them a lot in motor homes before they started using the 440..

Got to spend a little time on the duster today. Cleaned the intake surfaces, Did a trial fit with the new intake and no gaskets just to see how the fit is. Layed flat, so we're good. In some of the pictures is my mocking things up to see how everything is going to be. Turned the fuel rails...

At the rate I,m going its going to take me 5 years.LOL Still got the fuel system to finish. And start on the rewiring of the whole car.EEKK (not bad just time) It will be stock for the first fire up, Then better heads are in order, Bigger cam.more compression, 2300 stall convertor 391 gears...
