I found this Duster over the mountains in Eastern Washington State. It started it's life as a /6 and the guy I bought it from had put a 360 with a 727 behind it but wasn't happy with the power so he went for a big block. I think he was having problems modifying the K frame, got frustrated and put it up for sale, my hat is off to him for even trying a mod like that, it's definitely more than I've ever tried. When I bought the car, no k frame, engine or trans, and it had been moved around using farm equipment and a sling around the radiator which put a pretty good wave across the top section of the core support, so I decided that the first thing I would do was remove and replace it, might as well jump in with both feet!! It has 3.55 gears (open dif) and bucket seats, shifter was moved from the column to the floor, B&M I think. My goal is a streetable 340 auto that will just barely run on pump gas. Below is pics of what it looked like the day I bought it, and what it looks like now...yikes!!! I kinda slowed way down in the winter but am ready to get wrenching. I've been reading on this site for awhile now and have learned a lot and received some good starting directions, thanks!
