Now this is my opinion. 3.21/3.23 are what I consider great balance gears, decent off the line with some highway ability. 2.76/2.93 are great freeway gears, but it will leave off some pep off the line, and as you've stated here would be good since you're just cruisin' and do a lot of freeway...

LOL!!! Until the Feds said: Trucks gotta have emissions now.

Yup! I always tell my adult sons this: Stock means diddly squat, it's what you build not buy. Awhile back I saw a yellow 1975 Pontiac Trans Am for sale with a 455 "HO". in the late 90's, my brother almost bought it, I like Pontiacs but stuck to Mopars. Factory rated at a whopping 200 HP and 330...

Well... 360's didn't come until the 1974 model Dusters. Unless someone stuck a stock 360 in a 1973 base duster. Yes, technically a lot 74's were built in late 73 (like mine was built in Oct. 73) but were marked as 74' model years. 73's were the last year of the 340's in the A-bodies. Yup! I...

This could likely be due to your carb floats out of adjustment, or stuck float valves. - Since you mentioned the filter being full of fuel when it stumbles right? - I would try to check those out first.

255/70R15? that's like 29 inch diameter a bit too big. 28 inches is what I would consider max. 215/70R15 in almost 27 inches. You do not want to exceed 26 inches diameter in the front. So the sizes I've used before on 15 inch rims that worked with good effect are: 255/60R15 in the rear (27 inch...

Nearly 10yr old thread back from the dead! LOL

This is nice. I like it! One of the cleaner looking restomod builds. Kind of what I'm doing to my Duster. Following!

Nice! Welcome to the Madness! It's good to start em' young! My second youngest of 4 sons in 2015. Back when my Duster was yellow.

Only 24 years old and already a lowly waste of space parasite (and sadly, it appears he has an offspring) Some goodies on this guy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-figgatt-42563016a/...

@jjwilliams12345 So as @4spdragtop mentioned, it looks like he used your property as a dumping ground. Also, hopefully he's not using the property to "hide" questionable items I would check to make sure.

GE Nighthawks H6024 are the ones that were recommended and that I used in the past with pretty good results. - Silverstars are junk - Wagners are "ok" I'm now using LED conversion kits with decent results. There are these new "Nighthawk Sport" from GE that look promising as well, but I...

Would it work on Edel. aluminum magnum heads? I'll be honest as I have not done any research on it yet. I was saving up for an Eddy Air-gap manifold for the magnum. I guess I'll have to look into it.

Yeah, I'm half tempted to take one of my old 15 yr old LA Weaind or Edelbrock intakes and see if I can modify them to fit the Magnum blocks for my stroker. Probably not very cost effective... :rolleyes:

Nice! I'll be watching this show! :popcorn:

My take. 340's are cool nostalgia, If I had an all original 340 equipped car, yes I'm keeping it. If I happen to have a 340 around by itself I'll sell it to someone who'll do more with it than me whether it's a restoration or is really big into nostalgia. 360's especially 5.9's you can "do more...

Welcome!

Drove through Vernal / Duschesne a few times whenever I make trip to Colorado.

^ Agree 100%. I've been using Proforged Tie rod ends and have been really happy with them. The Moog stuff I used before lasted only a few years. Speaking of which I'm about to replace the Pitman arm which is Moog with Proforged pretty soon. The Moog Pitman arm I'm using was installed in 2013...

My favorite the Plymouth heart.

Jeez, that tb3cuda is an asshat.

No... I don't want HAL driving my car for me. No thank you.

But, but you're driving it in the snow! You should stop! Your car will melt with cancer with all the snow and salt! It should be kept in a climate controlled garage or trailer and only driven 500 miles a year. :rolleyes: :poke: J/K (The reaction of some when they see someone driving theirs in...

Then in 1981 Dodge created this. 2.2L 4 cylinder With Garret Twin Turbos. Pumping out 440 HP. The car was able to go about 195 mph. The Interceptor M4S, they made a few prototypes. Yeah it was ahead of its time and sadly Dodge never really expanded much on it.

Sounds like a plan, that's kind of what I'm doing right now. For now I'm running a 1990 Rollercammed LA 360 (1989-1992 LA 360's were factory rollercammed) stock bore with about 10:1 compression with aluminum heads. I am currently, slowly assembling a 408 stroker based on a 2000's 5.9 magnum.

Welcome! Nice baseline! Now for your question. If it was me I would one of these things. Keep the 340, build it up and run it! Or keep the 340 by storing it and find a 89-92 LA roller or Magnum 5.9 & build it up nicely as a daily. Then slowly building up the 340. - 340's are gold nowadays. 5.2...

Wow... Not into Mustangs... But I do appreciate classics but not to the extent of turning one into a glorified storage shelf. Kinda reminds of a local shop who found a Dodge Dart with a 318 stuffed into a shed on some farm in Idaho for almost 40 years.

So... The dreaded red X is gone. It never bothered me in the first place as I've gotten a few even from those who I like. I guess some go through a meltdown if they see red. Oh well.

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your son's service. I have served as well and did some tours in the Middle East, granted all's I've done is operate trenchers to bury fiberoptic network cables at remote bases at various locations, also repaired and relocated comm. systems. I've met...
