I'd jerk that slant 6 out so quick and drop a 340 4 speed In leave the paint just like it is....but not for 15gs. it is very cool tho and the color makes it worth more than that tan,brown or green duster.
if only someone would invent something that would lock both rear axles together that doesn't have semi fragile spider gears...I was pulling for the demon.
I wouldn't use the small rods if I was building a fresh 400 hp engine.I've had the small 318 rods actually look like spaghetti after being in my 4 speed dart for a couple years....and it wasn't near 400 hp I'm sure.also the 72 318 was the first year for the bigger rod in a 318 and for that year...
it's been like that since the 80s.i wonder if it's meant to be for the 8.75 7 anna quarter.i pulled a 65 rear apart a while back and it had a tiny carrier,ring n pinoin and spider gears.the rear came out of a slant 6 coronet.
