Hey guys, just picked up an A body A833 to put in my 71 340 duster. I’ve always had an auto in my car be it a 904 or currently a 727 and I’m super new to the A833s. I’ve learned how to identify overdrive units and wether its a later or earlier model. So here’s what I know so far. It’s a later...

Hey guys, I’ve had these seats for a couple years now and I’m not sure if I want to put them in my 71 duster I’m not sure what they’re from. Anyone know what these came from.

Hey guys, looking to upgrade the disk brakes on my 71 duster. It has spindles and disk brakes from a 76 dart now but I want to upgrade to a better system since I drive the car a lot. I’d definitely like to keep my 15 inch rally’s also. What all do you guys recommend in terms of brands youve had...

Hey everyone, I had a couple of questions regarding some modifications I plan to make on my 67 dart drag car build. I plan to install a leaf relocation and mini tub in the rear to fit a larger tire but I’ve seen mixed information on how much to shorten the axle and the best wheel and tire combo...

Hey guys, just picked up a rebuilt 340 for a sweet deal and since was able to get a fairly rare engine I kind of want to know more about it, I’ll post all the numbers on the engine, and I know what the casting numbers mean but I’m not sure what the rest of it means and im hoping someone can tell...

Hey guys, I just got my new 360 in my duster a couple months ago. It’s a brand new short block and heads. It was running perfectly for the first two months with no issues then over the past couple weeks there’s been a lot of oil smoke coming from the breather cap on the drivers side. It still...

Hey guys, I’m almost done with my 71 Duster that I’ve been building for 6 years. I bought it with my own money on my 15th birthday and I’ve been working on it since. The car had nice paint and a new interior when I bought it but mechanically it was junk, all original suspension from 71, a /6...

Hey guys, I know this has been covered but I’m still unsure of what I need, I’m putting a 360 in my duster, has a cam intake and carb so nothing fancy and it’s replacing a 318. I had put a BnM hole shot converter in it and a BnM flex plate(not the one with the section cut out just the regular...

Just got everything squared away on my duster for the v8 swap and I go to drive the thing and there’s a huge howling noise coming from the 8 3/4. It happens when I give it over 1/4 throttle and the car doesn’t accelerate hardly at all. Noise goes away when I let off the gas but I’m not able to...

Hey guys, so i recently got a stock rebuilt 727 for my duster, the car has a 318 with a comp xe268h cam, edelbrock air gap and Holley 600 carb, I’m running a 8 3/4 with not a great ratio of 2.94 sure grip but it’s all I could get my hands on, but my question is what torque converter suggestion...

So I have my 318 running in my car and broken in but for some reason now when I give it gas it stutters and doesn’t want to rev any higher, I played with the timing a bunch but it’s still having problems. I checked for vacuum leaks and I can’t find any but when I put my hands over the carb it...

hey guys, I have my 727 in my Duster now with a 318 and I went to put my trans lines on but they get in the way of my B&M star shifter, so my question is can I run rubber trans line for the front port or whatever it’s called to the radiator or is that a bad idea? Thanks, Carson

so i just put a fresh 318 in my Duster and a set of headman headers but I literally cannot get even a mini starter to fit past the headers, so I can’t get a starter in. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Hey guys, so I’m gonna end up building a 408 rather than my 318. The parts I plan to use for now are a set of 76 360 heads, nothing special and I know those are gonna hold the 408 back a bit but I will save up for some better heads, an Edelbrock performer rpm and I have a Holley 600 vacuum...

Okay so first of all i know a lot of people ask about the 318 so please dont give me grief about asking again. So I’m going to build my 318 soon and here are the parts I have for it, stock 71 318 block rods and crank, I’m going to get kb167 pistons, 76 360 heads just rebuilt last week, edelbrock...

Hey guys, so I finally started working on rebuilding my 318. So first off the setup I plan to run is a 71 318 with kb167 pistons, 76 360 heads with stock valves and ports but shaved down to 66 cc’s which I figured would give me about 10:1 comp, I might be wrong so please let me know, and just a...

Hey guys so I have a 318 I’m gonna build and I was going to use a set of 360 heads and put some work into them but I was thinking I might as well spend some money on the stock 71 318 heads cause I heard they have a smaller combustion chamber. When I actually took a look at the heads it looks...

hey guys, so I’m going to start building my first engine and I got my hands on a 318 and 360 for free. The 360 was a 1979 but had a crack so I gave the bottom end away and kept the heads and rest of the top end. The 318 is a 1971 block and it’s all good just needs machining. So I’ve read up and...

Ok guys so here’s my situation, I’m 18 getting ready to swap a v8 in my 71 duster and I need an 8 3/4. I found one but it’s out of what I believe is a 1950 dodge desoto, so I was wondering if the housing is worth getting and shortening to A-body specifications. I don’t have a lot of money so I...

Hey everyone, I have a set of 79 360 heads that im planning on putting on a 71 318 block. Im still new to building classic engines and i was wondering if anyone knows the specs on these heads such as valve and port size or where i can order a rebuild kit that will match the specs for these...

Hey everyone, so I just picked up a small block 360 for free, the engine is over all in very good shape for sitting for 15 years except for some surface rust in the cylinders. So my question is how would it cost to get the cylinders bored .030 over and also how much would it cost to get the...

Hey does anyone happen to know the length a driveshaft needs to be from a 904 trans to an 8 3/4 in a 71 duster. And the U joint sizes I need for both ends?

Hey everyone, I was originally planning on putting an 8 3/4 with my slant but they are just far too expensive and I noticed there are a lot of Dana 60 rear ends out there for cheap. Does anyone know if the Dana would be too much for the slant or if it's something I could deal with for a...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, I have a 71 Plymouth Duster with a slant and I have a question on something I'm looking to doing to the car. Currently I have 7 1/4 rear end and I want to swap it with an 8 3/4 but I'm not sure what exactly I would need or have to replace when I go to do this. Also...
