I am from southern Ontario and looking for lots of info and advice on my project.
Although I have owner my 73 duster for 30 yrs plus, I have just started to do a rebuild and know very little about mopar's in general (in terms of rebuilding them). I have built many (many, many, many) fords over the years but its time to go back to my roots and baby and bring her back to awesome LOL.
Car is a 73 duster with a 340 and a 4 speed. Original slant 6 car with an auto. Motor is very tired so I just pulled it yesterday with the trans and now I am unsure what way to go.
Rebuilt the 340? Crate engine? Newer hemi?
I do know I need a 5 speed (no OD sucks). Not sure which one? (TKO?)
I do know I want fuel injection (leaning towards Holley).
The other reality is spending 50k on a car work 30 makes zero sense. So budget is always a concern BUT I will never sell this car so doing it right is important.
Thanks for having me.
