1970 Duster, Trans-Am-inspired "Pro Touring" build

Hey Khalid, just thought I'd say hi and thanks for the 302 heads, we'll make sure that they get to a good use. You and my son would have some in common, he's taking a semester off from Iowa State's materials engineering program and trying to work on his Duster as money allows. We just got done with the 1" tbars, all new bushings, etc on the front end, now we just need to get the heads on and the engine solid again.

It was great meeting you, although a bit chilly. Good luck on your Duster, and if you ever need anything, let me know.

Thanks Scott it was nice meeting you too, it didn't even cross my mind to consider you might be a FABO member haha... Let me know how the heads work out for you and I'd like to see your son's Duster when it's done. I need to have mine done by the 21st or so of this month (my parent's house is supposed to be closing by then) so I'm kind of in a time crunch with finals and all but it gives me motivation to get it back together. However in case I can't get it running and driving on its own by then would you happen to know anyone with a truck and trailer and maybe a good place to store my car in Denver until it's done?

dusterdan--tell me about it with the high altitude, every N/A car here needs as much help as it can get. The worst is driving through the mountains up steep grades at even higher altitudes, puts any engine to the test and is not a fun time with anything less than a 6-cylinder or turbo-4. That's why I want a high-compression torque monster that will push strong at any RPM.
