Blue Sky Hemi Duster Build



What we have here is the Be Cool radiator and electric fans in all their installed glory. You can't see it, but the A/C condenser is there, too. As is the power steering fluid reservoir, regulator and random hoses.



I saw these mid-length length headers in the Street & Performance catalog and thought they might fit. The folks at S&P thought the headers would be worth a shot and offered to send me an unfinished, tacked together version so we could modify them if necessary.
Turns out, the headers won't be modified. Instead, one motor mount and the firewall will be massaged. I've been fretting about this header/exhaust manifold thing and I'm relieved to have a solution.



Sticking with the original gas tank which will be modified to accept a proper fuel pump for the fuel injected 6.1.



8.75" 489 housing with Eaton Sure-Trak, 3.55:1 gears.

I have less than three months to finish the Duster in time for the Power Tour. Cautiously optimistic!
