I'm sure Butch is very pleased with the end result of your hard labor. That is still one beautiful understated car.

Is the motor mount design due to AC compressor clearance? If so, looks like a creative solution. Either way, love it.
yes....the HDK Gen III Hemi engine mount is designed to utilize OEM A/C compressor while allowing use of the same K for all the popular Mopar engines from 6 cyl, 273-318 / 340-360 small blocks, B / RB big blocks, 66-72 Stage II Hemi and the 5.7 /6.1 / 6.2 / 6.4 Gen III Hemi. Note: the OEM oil cooler on the 6.2 and 6.4 has to be removed for mount clearance.

The drivers side mount pictured above is an early version, current mount pictured below is very similar but uses all four mount holes.

is this new one gonna be a street car or a track car?
or both ?

This hot rod is not intended to be anything close to a dedicated drag car. Currently at 79, Butch's drag strip days are long over but I'm sure he would enjoy a exhibition pass now and then.
 
this car, The 1975 California Flash / Direct Connection B/MP HemiDuster is coming to Carlisle this year along with Butch. If I had the ability, I would bring my silver HemiDuster and lil Red also. Butch's new ride, Big Red is far from completed, but maybe next year?

I wonder which race that Wally is from ?

GatorNationals / Gainsville 1975. I have two of the three Wallys Butch won with this car in the 75 season. 1975 was his most successful season as far as Wallys go.

The Wallys are right up there with the tail panel removed from his 71 Pro Stock Duster when it was updated to a 1972 model in late 71
