Now that I think about it, Ted Jones has bigger boobs! Look at the picture!

Hey Denny, FYI....... On Sunday I went to look at a 1970 Plymouth Duster. The guy told me it had a 340 so I was interested for sure. I didnt want to sound like I knew a lot about the car so i didnt ask that many questions. I just asked about rust and the engine. He told me it was a 6cly changed to a 340 10 years ago. As i was driving out there to see it I was thinking, hoping, it had BUCKET SEATS, SHARKS TOOTH GRILL, 8 3/4 REAR, ralley dash.....Long story short it didn't have any of the above! It wasn't even a 340, it was a 360! the body was really nice....the 360 fired up and sounded okay.....he was asking 800.00 I offered 500.00 and we settled on 700.00.....I pick it up on Friday.....
 
I need a pic of a 10 point or better cage with an rear x-brace in a Duster or similar a-body to know where ya attached the bars to the floor. I'm runnin an 360/727 4.11 8 3/4 and SS springs No Tubs yet. 1st time adding a cage to a car. Gimme a pic what worked for you !

Not the one in the Avatar right. Thats actually a drawing. Click my garage for the current project and I also have a thread going on.
I'm at a temporary stall. I have to clear up a thing or 2 first, Then I can get back to ordering parts and the car.

Just need a swap kit, headers/exhaust, driveshaft and shifter.
 
Alright!.............now look what you guys started..........

.........Brother Duster Dave wants in on this.........He says he loves

Denny,

P.S. Susan thinks I sould buy another Hemi.. Is that love or what????
 
Welcome aboard...even though im NOT into BB or Hemis in A bodies those cars sure look great!!!!
 
Denny, things are looking good for the nats. I was off today and went for a long drive in the dustpan....about an hour and a half......We may have to change valve cover gaskets in the drive way again!

Don't ask me why the previous owner painted the engine compartment
white (easy fix).
