1971 plymouth Duster
68' 340 engine from a plymouth Barricuda
73' rearend w/ 3:55 gears 7 1/4 rear.
904 automatic transmission
First off, the car has had its issues. The valve guides have never been replaced and are original. I've been runing unleaded gas for some time and so far its been OK. I'm on a real tight budget so I've been working on it here and there. I redid the whole brake setup on the rear and front end suspension. I plan on taking it to my friends shop to have the transmission rebuilt. Upon inspection I noticed that it starte leaking coolant by the driver side header. Looks like a brass coolant plug by the engine block . Since I need to replace the engine mounts, I plan on having them replace the plugs as well. Anyone know where I can find a set besides an engine shop? I also need a rear differential cover gasket. Felpro part# would be nice. Lastly, can anyone recommend a decent set of headers? I believe the ones on the car are cheapo hooker and since I'll be raising the engine to replace the plugs, might as well install a set of decent LONG tube headers. Nothing expensive, somethingt that'll work. thanks in advance.
