That should read 1972 on the title my bad.. So somehow my account and posts got deleted. I have a new to me 2 weeks ago, 1972 rolling chasis with some nice upgrades. I hadn't posted any detailed pictures before my account dissappeared so here goes. As I mentioned in my earlier post I am building this car is a tribute of my recently passed father who was a mopar guy from childhood. He had a 1972 duster when it was new and we had always planned to build one. Whe. This rolling chassis came up I knew I wanted it to rebuild with my sons who are old enough to help now 11 and 9. My last restoration was a 1958 austin healey which I completed long before they were born. So I have a 360 out of an old 1984 d300 van that dad used as a tool van (he was a residential house builder) up until about 2004 when he replaced it with a 2004 dodge van. He saved this van specifically for this reason to put the drivetrain in a duster. It had 88k on it and always had regular service. I am considering making the 360 into a 408 but may leave it a 360 if my local mopar engine guru thinks the crank and cylinders don't need too much work to smooth up. I have the 727 out if the van but will likely use an a833 id as I like to shift my own gears. Anyhow I am excited to continue learning from thise of you have been through these cars many times over.
aboard!
