Well I am finally putting some ponies in my 1973 Duster and looking for suggestions. My duster has a 225 with 39,000 original mlm miles and a 3sp on the floor both will be for sale.
So far I have acquired a 1971 360 dyno @ over 400hp, 4spd manual, a posi rear that I need to convert to disk brakes, and 318 magnum manifolds.
I was looking at doing the Schumacher 6 to 360 engine mount kit. My duster does not have power brakes or power steering. However does have front disk and will have rear disk. Should I put vaccuum assist brakes, leave it alone, or put a bigger, mc on it? Should or can I stick with the 3spd?
I do have a 1976 donor car if needed but it is still complete and has a title so I am debating if I want to start robbing parts from it. I will get pics of the 225 soon if anyone is interested in it.
Also looking for a 70 through 72 bumper to possibly dress up the 73 with.
Also what else will I need to buy or think about to make this transition work. Thank you.
