Depends on which Duster you are referring to (I have a couple) but every A body I have built with OEM suspension uses the smaller spindle with the small UCA ball joint. Just not a fan of the wider track width. I started the Leal build with the larger spindles /larger ball joints but removed them...

just an option.....switch to the 9" drum spindle w/ Wilwoods and narrow it up about an inch per side.

very nice, sorry I am so late to the party (build). In my defense, it is tuff keeping up with everyone, especially since your real names are different than your screen names. I saw a question regarding the OEM A/C compressor fitting with the HDK, Yes it does, and it is one of the reasons the...

Thanks Tim, I plan on taking the Whippled Hemi / Big Red to BDS (lower Indiana, right outside the Cincinnati area) for initial tune. BDS does the tune on the DSR 1150 and that engine is almost a mirror of what we are putting together for Butch's new Duster. They already have a good baseline to...

in mock up....see what is hiding under the former California Flash hood (damaged when the tent blew down at the 2019 Nats) ? answer: mock-up Whipple. Since the mock-up, I raised the nose 1/4" and moved the engine rearward 1/2" I will likely do a minor modification to the ribbing of the...

gettin there. Butch calls it..."big Red"

Leaning towards Holley. we will see how it works out. Thanks for all the input

I have heard of the results of too much boost especially with the OEM compression and the pistons w/ high ring glands....not good. The 6.4 has the Extreme 10.1 / 1 drop in kit, features (.10 over) lower compression pistons and H beam rods. Bullet cam (w/ the new Mopar roller lifters) almost...

Thanks for the replies. All good info. not a Hellcrate... 6.4 (pulled from 2019 Charger) w/ Whipple, now non VVT . The SRV I believe is eliminated with the Whipple, but will need to re-read the instructions to verify). I have a cable to DBY adapter (RAM truck) to run the throttle body.

great info.....anyone use anything above and recommend? pros / cons helpful

I might be new to the engine electrical management for the Gen III into out A body's, but who and what is the best to use? I believe I have read that the OEM harness that came with the engine has too many circuits that if left unconnected can confuse the computer. for clarity, I am...

must be the Made in Mexico version......mucho more room. Lookin good!

full A/C forward the firewall install....just for giggles

you must have a lot more area behind the grill that the Dusters. Because of limited space, I get pigeon-holed using the factory condenser mounting the drier and cut-off switch in engine compartment, then sneak the compressor line thru the factory headlight wiring harness hole

Hot Rodding /Advance Class....right here. This is one of my favorite builds.

With grease worked in and the hinge moving freely....bowing is barely visible. No additional bracing used. Good luck.

let me know when ready....I fix you up with a set of the latest version.

I would buy your Hemi engine package in a heartbeat. I like your thinking.

you defiantly perfected the hood shock modification.

Thanks.....I'll put you on the "list". You are doing great. One of the benefits of the rack install and no more steering box is on these wide Hemis, they can be moved slightly to the drivers side making a no-mod sheet metal install. I think in some areas, there is less room with the New Gen...

I get it....I think it is a nice modification. My only point was, I think there is a way re-hab the factory springs instead of pitching them. Interestingly, with the spring binding, my hinges bowed too....so much , I put clear thick helicopter tape on the adjacent freshly painted fender area...

work em a little harder........... and make sure the grease / lubricant is getting all the way into the small spirals. Try spraying WD-40 into into the extremely hard to get areas. Some take more effort than others , but all have worked free.

The modern gas shock replacement is a nice modification, but your factory springs will be quite, smooth as butter and work perfectly as designed IF you would simply pack the spring spirals with grease....and work it in (lots of up /down with the hinge). Who knew we would still be using these...

I would never laugh or point....but if you butt welded a piece of 3/4DD shaft to extend / adapt your factory shaft....IMO, you are playing with fire. I have extended numerous shafts replacing only the lower portion of the 2 piece steering shaft by plug welding a piece of 3/4" DD shaft slipped...

pretty nice.

brand new!

The Jeep manifolds compared to the car manifolds stay tucked next to th e block....a big plus for an A body install..

Thanks for your support, it is pleasure (actually a blast) to work with hot rodders like you. Thanks for keeping us updated on your progress.

now that IS progress.... :)

Very well though out with exceptional execution. ....Mopar to ya'
