another poor mans pro touring project (karls duster)
Here she is as of a couple days ago
A little back ground: This was my first car, my dad bought it for me for $900 in the fall of 1999 and we drove it home that night. I wrecked it the following summer joy riding still without my license at the time, so being young and watching way too many episodes of horsepower TV I stripped the car down to its shell to make a drag car. I bought another 74 duster 318 auto car for $500 for parts in the summer of 01 for the v8 k member and the front end stuff I crushed. I built the engine now known as the mean green 318 my senior year of high school.
The Mean Green 318 consists of:
74 318 with only 64k original miles
factory heads cut .040 pocket ported with back cut valves.
comp cams version of the purple 484 shaft with a little more duration on the exhaust.
torker 340 maniflod ( iknow there junk but it was free)
I also have the 904 out of the car that I literally dragged out of the woods, cleaned it up and put it in the car. It also should only have
64,000 miles on it and there is a unknown 11" TCI converter in front of it that was with the intake manifold in the trunk of the parts car.
The car has a 8.25 rear in it right now with 2.45's but I picked up a 9" furd out of a 66 tbird with an open :wack: 3.00's for $50.
I have done alittle research and I think it is pretty close to the width of a b-body rear.
Anyway sorry for the rant. Lots of body work and assembly to come!
