The rotiserie I built for nothing out of scrap, the pivot points I used rear spindles off a junk chevy cavalier and used a brake master cylinder off a old harley to hold the car in whatever position I want . I love it it makes life much easier.
 
I have a complete 68 340 out of a gts that was wrecked decades ago and a 727 out of my duster before I converted it to a 4 speed, but I can't help but keep thinking of the original slant 6, I have all the old drivetrain, out of all the Mopars I've had in the past the most user friendly was the slant 6 and 318 cars that were left stock and were used every single day, everything else like my big-block Charger, Duster with a health small-block are crazy fun to drive but not practical use more than occationally. what I need is a 400 horse sb that gets 25mpg!! then I would be happy!! I am leanig toward the 340 but need to hold my self from wanting to build it radical.
 
Got some paint on!! the last pic is of the rust free arizona one of the 1/4 panels I painstakely salvaged off a car, along with the outer wheel housings and trunk extensions.

This weekend projects include striping the used 1/4 panels, installed a new fuel sender on the duster thinking my gas gauge would work but didn't.
