'70 Duster build-up...
Well figured since I didnt sell the Duster I may as well start a thread on it....
Here's the quick/dirty. Picked her up last year. She's got a stock 360/727 and 8 3/4 w/ 3.23 Sure-Grip. Orig /6 car. Reddish/orange color w/ black buckets. Mini-tubbed but springs not moved in. Rest is what'cha see...
So far:
- Updgraded w/ old school DC valve covers, FBO ignition, plug wires/cap/rotor...Z-Alt oil etc...all the normal tuneup stuff
- Ditched the slots cause they were too small and got some Pro-Star look wheels from Summit. Just put 275/50/15 Drag Radials on today that replaced the 255/60/15 Kelly's. MUCH BETTER!
- Ditched the cloth Toyota buckets (yuck) and the orig buckets recovered and the back bench as well
Plans:
- New top end going in this spring. Fresh heads, Hughes "Whiplash" cam or Voodoo 60403 "268". Got the Voodoo on the shelf...but thinking of selling it and going Whiplash.
- Got a built 727 on the bench w/ TCI Streetfighter and Cheetah Rev man valve body ready to go in
- It's also getting a 6 pack hood, and requisite flat black side stripes from Challenger Gary soon! Just a little too much red w/o a stripe on the side to break it up!
Should be able to make good use of the new Drag Radials when the drivetrain is buttoned up in the next month or two
Here's some pics in (somewhat) chronological order...
The Beginning!!!
