Check the 5th digit of the VIN. If it is a D the car came with a 273, a G would be a 318. The LA 318 was available in the US in '67 B and C bodies as well as trucks. Our northern brothers soldiered on with the Poly 318 until '68 when the LA 318 became available across the board. '68 was also the...

Looks better than what he started with...

Can't tell you exactly what year yours is, but it is a '73-'76 A body V8 K member...

IMO it's not worth it, especially here in Ohio. Cops here notice anything out of the ordinary and driving around in Highland county with Historic plates just puts a big target on your ***. The cops know all about every car show within 100 miles of their jurisdiction. At least that's what I was...

I was gonna say '65 Chrysler and quit while I was ahead. 'Til Keith showed up. Good to see you're back...

That's what was holding that junk on my '77 Roadrunner. Car looked a lot better after I pulled them off and shitcanned them. Kept the rear spoiler though...

I'd be real curious about the reason for one white inner fender and the white core support. How hard was it hit and what is still bent. Based on the el cheapo seat covers, plan on reupholstering the front seats and possibly the back to get a match. I personally would knock off at least 2K for...

Removing the '69 VIN tag might be a good idea as long as you turn it in to your local DMV. You may want to go so far as to have a cop or DMV inspector look over what you have and advise you on what to do...

Pictures of dead presidents and founding fathers only please. What Uncle Sam don't know about, he can't fork with. Keeping the government out of our business is what caused this country to come about in the first place. You have a duty as an Amurrican to screw the man every chance you get...

'90 Thunderchickens were 59" from tire sidewall to sidewall, used the 8.8" center section, and were attached to a cradle that bolted to the frame. You would need to add upper spring cups and shock mounts along with the cradle mounts. IIRC there were 4...

Very well done. The car is nice too. What impresses me the most is the fact that you take it out and get it dirty after all that work. Here's hoping you can enjoy your dream for many more years...

Tried one of these on a '72 318 Swinger in '73 with a 600CFM Holley with vacuum secondaries. At a full throttle stomp from idle, it had a massive bog when the secondaries opened that I couldn't tune completely out. If you rolled into the throttle and let things progress at a more sedate pace, no...

"And the interior stitching matches the body color..." There's a gut wrenching performance statistic...

And there hasn't been a Windsor 5.0 produced since, what, '95 or '96 when the Modular V8 came online with SOHC 2V and has since sprouted things like DOHC, 4V per cylinder, VVT, variable intake, etc...

So are you thinkin' maybe a 5.7 or 6.4 Hemi in the lightest car that will take one? Been done. Chrysler called it a Roadrunner. :burnout: Let's see if Sergio really reads his mail or he has flunkies for that...

Probably a few little items like DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder, variable valve timing, EFI, variable intake volume, and let's not forget computer control to make it all work...

Don't be too hard on the poor kid. How many of ya'll wouldn't be seriously distracted if yer armpit suddenly burst into flames? That's what I thought... Now the lighter wielding dipstick is another matter...

You've really done it now. That block is forever marked as yours. By the time the deck is surfaced, the cylinder is bored, and the top of the cylinder is chamfered, there MAY be enough of a pit to point to and say "I did that"...

It has Kelsey-Hayes disc brakes on the front and the wheels are small bolt pattern. The 340 exhaust tips are missing. That's about all I can tell from those pics. You really need to see the car in person. Bring a magnet so you can check for Bondo, shiny new paint can hide some real horrors...

Don't worry about a 318 being able to tow. When I was a lineman for Ma Bell I drove the companion wagon ('72 Dodge 3/4 ton with utility bed) that was 318/granny low 4 speed/Dana 60 with 4.10 locker equipped. Used it to tow the cable trailer, go to lunch, and drag the line truck out of whatever...

Here's something to chew on. Just maybe the guy decided to give you this at your price because he wanted to be nice to you instead of making money on the deal. Trust me, he knew what he paid for it. Nobody is that stupid....

Don't you just hate thieves? How about a block of C4 under the seat with the detonator wired into the starter circuit that can be deactivated with a switch only you know about? If they're gonna try to steal it, may as well render the parts useless...

Good one...

This ain't the one I was thinking of, but it'll give you something to drool over while I dig.... http://www.britishracecar.com/BobGirvin-Allard-GT.htm

Jensen Healeys used the 331 Chryslers. Jensen bought the finished cars from Austin-Healey and worked their magic shoehorning them in. Sold like hotcakes across the pond....

If you really care what people think about your car, sell your Duster, buy the latest "in" car, and join the herd. Before you do that, just remember that the Duster was cool and kickin' butt before most of these snots ran down their mother's leg. It's not easy being the lead dog but the view is...

When I was in the Air Farce I painted a bit of aluminum. We used polyurethane epoxy primer and didn't have any problems with paint flaking off....

Great candidate for 30" rims. Half the work is already done...:puke:

16K for a 318 Barracuda that needs a total rewire before you drive it to a restoration shop and is missing the unilug inserts? I'm looking at a $40-50K restoration bill on this lipsticked pig. Be glad it is someone else's problem. Try to find out what the guy is smoking. I want some of that....

You noticed... I'm not really old, we just couldn't afford a color TV until 1967....
