1975 Duster factory 318

Ya, disc up front and 8 1/4. Cam is a good idea. Brake system needs a complete rebuild, need to replace the exhaust gasket, and I’ve got some kind of ATF leak. Then it will be totally drivable. Brakes are next.

I was gonna say maybe the Hughes Whiplash for the 318, but they stopped their cam sales.

That's a really solid foundation. You already have all the big hard parts most people look for.

Not too much this weekend as I’m waiting on parts. Goal this weekend is to clean out my garage enough so I can pull the car in. In the meantime here’s the Duster idling with an electric fuel pump and gas can sitting on the passenger floor. You can really hear the exhaust leak at the flange.

It sounds good, though. It's not skippin or runnin rough.
