I'm running a Lakewood bell and using a Centerforce duel friction clutch with the American Powertrain hydraulic system.

How's the build coming along? Did you assemble the engine or was it assembled? I'm running the same block and the claim I have to modify pushrod holes in std LA heads.

frederick_76 · Dec 30, 2016

The motor was assembled when I bought it (someone's unfinished project). The build was put off for a bit as I got married in October and had to plan and pay for that. I'm eager to finnish it soon.

Yeah, so it clears the steering linkage now...

frederick_76 · Mar 23, 2017

Hanging on to them for another project.

diymirage · Mar 24, 2017

i dont blame you, they are hard to come by

(i installed a 69 valiant grille in my 71 duster, and have not been able to find the parking light assemblies yet)

Sedanman · Mar 25, 2017

They are the same as 69 Dodge Daytona so they get pricey.

Welded in the 4 speed console brackets today.

frederick_76 · Mar 27, 2017

Not a lot today but I got the drive line in tonight.

frederick_76 · Mar 29, 2017

I got them from AMD.

frederick_76 · Apr 9, 2017

Fuel system done so I got started on the cooling system.

Got the drivers side door seal on today. I used the 3M "Black super weather strip and Gasket Adhesive". I'll definitely do the passenger side in sections.....
