71 Duster 360 (new project)

Well...bought a 71 Duster off Craigslist a few weeks ago...got to take a wonderful trip over to Crestline, Ca to pick it up.

Going to build this for Daughter No. 2 to bracket race with, hopefully going to run in 12s with it. Let her learn how to bracket race.

The car is 71 Duster with /6 in it, a 360-904- 8 3/4 will replace the existing running gear.
Picked up a Sharktooth grille for it already, it needed door panels and i found a set of front and rears on ebay...the bench seat will be replaced with buckets I found on craiglist a couple of days ago...same bucket seats the Challenger Drag pac cars come......lol

also bought a 71 K member from fabo member. Duster came with KH manual front disc on it....going to stay with those for now, still got a set of SBP front runner Centerlines left over from 71 Dart.

the 360 used to be in my 73 Duster that i could not get to pass smog, only changes will be deep oil pan and using a Howard hydraulic cam...instead of the Hughes.

360 .030...Kb107 piston down .020, Eddy OOTB heads, Eddy Air Gap intake, 750 dp or vs carb as needed...1.5 aluminium rockers, msd 6 al ignition, TTi 1 5/8 stepped headers.

904 will have turbo action cheetah valve body bought new back in 1983, 10 inch 3200 stall converter (I think).

8 3/4 ...i have a complete drum to drum with 4.30 sure grip ...will change out axles to make BBP... ..Have a set of nearly new MP SS springs for rear along with CE shocks.

Probably end up with 9x 28 MT slicks on the rear.....hoping to have this all done by March 22, 2013

Pictures and updates will be posted as work is done....
