I think you pretty much nailed it. I originally acquired this 23K mile Duster from my buddy HemiMark who was on the verge of trading it for a truck. No plans, just did not want to let it get away. When my 70's street racing buddy learned I had the car, he ask me if i would sell it to him. I...

not a shoehorn....all kinds of room on a low-deck big block. This one has OEM K and manual steering, Schumacher conversion mounts, 833 / 4-speed, TTi exhaust. the only mod was the #7 primary header tube need modified (cut and slightly moved) for clutch shaft clearance. Since this build about...

I have a few left still at the introductory price.... for the 2 piece brackets and 4 plastic pins...$50 shipped (continental USA) international shipping extra add $14 for the bulkhead gasket and the 4 clips. Enroute from Classic Industries, everything ships together. pay-pal accepted...

check it out.... recessed bulkhead

Thanks for the reply. I agree, most people would not take apart the SS springs, but maybe because they are available in different spring rates, simply buy what they feel will work best, ride height wise. My thinking, and I could be wrong (ask my wife) is that if I wanted the rear to sit lower, I...

Hi Andy, Just curious, since this car will see a lot of street use, in the categories of ride vs traction, what do you think of the Calvert system vs a set of Mopar Super Stock springs. Not from personal experience, but I have read the Calvert system was a little hash on the street. And to...

On the economy route.... Elephant ears place the Hemi right where it needs to be for Hemi TTi headers / OEM suspension/steering. Simply follow their directions...with pictures for most of us. Offset master cylinder mount a must. Notch the K for oil pan clearance like most big block builds...

when i doubt....I believe the block can be sonic tested to determine if the cylinder bores possibly shifted during casting causing thin spots and can help determine the thickness of the cylinder walls

While the 67-76 As have a longer engine bay / fenderwell, it still isn't big enough to allow for 4 tubes and a decent size tire. Fenderwell headers fail the basics of performance header construction. 1) equal length primaries 2) primaries not exceeding 36" Just my opion....others may vary.

Good looking ride 512Stroker.....is your last name Sox or Martin? :)

there can be..... I make the A/C brackets for the B/RB to compliment the HDK .....I will be making small block ones also.

on Hemis....but it is the same for any B /RB I have done several power rack and pinion conversions with A/C (compressor down low by the oil pump) and P/S (compact pump mounted above the A/C compressor) with March 2 groove v-belt pulleys....std drive to keep the water pump spinning at the...

with the motor plate I am surprised you did not pull the column and torsion bars....then drop the K down to slip them in from the bottom. be almost like the guys with those funky coilover /rack front ends.

If memory serves, the silver Duster w/Hemi, 4-speed, gear vendor, A/C weighed in at 3265.....almost full tank of fuel. All steel Duster with aluminum intense drive train....coffee getter.

Tie down hole in the shock plate is a nice touch.......A+

you are killing yourself with the old school in from the top install......quit horsing around and put it in from the bottom. ....then sit back , have a cold one .....and tell yourself how easy it was.

outstanding....must be light as a feather! can we see more?

#4...by all means. It is NOT difficult, and in reality, it how how the factory did it. I have done dozens this way for decades....mostly Hemis in 67-76 A bodies, preferably by myself. Make it easy on yourself and pull the steering column out of the motor bay. The master cylinder and brake...

there ya go....YOU could be a show!

I have used several, #1....windage tray and upper/lower gaskets....all in one #2....reusable #3.... because they have small sleeves, and the gasket is part of the tray, there is no squish out when you tightened it down. I do add a full standard composite pan gasket between the block and the...

if I want to see REAL A body builds....I still enjoy FABO. the TV builds all seem to be drama, grab *** and make believe.....just like the rest of the media.

what a hot rod!... Takes time, $$$, and patience ....with this beast, well worth your efforts

The Leal / California Flash/ Hemi Duster has both....elephant ears and mid plate. I am with the understanding the mid plate was critical to speed up removal of the transmission / clutch / flywheel for service. The mid plate mounting pieces pictured attach to brackets added to the block scatter...

I would take it to small claims....no lawyer bill. Just plead your case. Most small claim courts limit the amount you can recover....maybe $2500. check with your local govt. At least you have a shot.....take a chance, Columbus did.

can not believe I missed this thread.....nice job. Please keep me posted, Denny

How 'bout a few more details on this one....not nice to tease. sweeeeet ride!

I place the rear wheels on 6" ramps....only need the front 30" high to get my assembled Hemi (minus valve covers and carb), transmission, and GV under the chassis. Started installing from the bottom in the early 90's after noticing in a photo that is it was the way it was done at the factory.

Hemi Mark has one also, called for a rebuild on his 4-speed and ended up with a new 5-speed......I think if anyone has the money, they can own one too.

I am a fan of the Griffin direct fit with shoud mounts. Paint it radiator black, bolt up the shoud, and it looks like a factory piece. For the big block/A body application, I like the 26" wide Cuda radiator because the inlet /outlets are on the correct side for the aftermarket and most factory...
