New Duster owner

[Kevin Barlow]

Hello everyone, I bought my first Duster this fall after waiting 30 years. It is a 1971 Clone that was nicely restored in 2011. I have plans to upgrade to a 4 speed Passon and have started gathering Rallye dash parts.

Thanks,

Nice looking Duster.

Welcome Kevin. Beautiful car. Been a fan of white cars all my life having owned several. What engine is in it now. If you do go the 4spd route, i hope the 7 1/4'' rear was upgraded also.

It has a 360 that is quite strong, lots of good parts on the build sheet. Rear axle is 8 3/4 with 3.91 Borg Warner cone style.

Welcome from Kansas. Nothing in the world better than a 340 A Body. Be careful dealing with Passon. He has been rather less than honest with some of our people.

Car looks super sharp. I would imagine some real harsh winters up your way?

The car came rust free from California, so it didn’t see any winter drives here.

BTW, I don't think I've ever seen one of those in white. White looks really good on it.

It is painted the 1971 Snow White code.

I did some reading on that topic and it seems the 5 speed ones were trouble.

I believe some are going to the Tremec 5 and 6 speeds. I have a friend building a F body with a stroked big block and he is thinking about one of the Tremec units.
