72 duster street/strip project

well, I guess we can trash this thread. I sold the duster friday.

I'm gonna get thrashed for this, but let me tell the reason.

found a VERY nice 77 volare wagon for sell with the following completed:

416 stroker with forged eagle crank and H beam rods, forged SRP pistons, edelbrock stage 2 heads, Comp .605 lift solid flat tappet cam, Harland Sharp roller rockers, air gap intake, 830 cfm Holley, 1 3/4 TTI headers into a 3 inch exhaust, the engine was built by Compu-Flow, and has less than 200 miles on it.

tranny is a 998 torque flite with a Turbo Action manual reverse valve body and a 2.74 low first gear set.

rear is an 8 3/4 with 3.73 gears and an aburn posi unit.

springs moved in with an offset shackle kit and has a new set of Cal Tracs under it along with 9 way adjustable calvert shocks in the rear.

12 gallon fuel cell and battery have been installed under the factory cargo area in the rear so that it will meet NHRA/IHRA tech rules. has a holley electric pump with 8an run to a holley regulator.

front end is totally rebuilt with all new bushings and suspension. new manual steering and disk brakes. also, has Calvert 90/10 shocks on the front.

new aluminum radiator and auto meter gauges and tach. also has a Hurst Quarter Stick shifter. Wheels are the Jegs brand Weld look a likes with skinnies up front. tires are Mickey Thompson front and rear. they are regular street tread tires, not ET Streets.

the car ran 7.40s at the track and was spinning the crap out of the tires. the best part.........the guy drove it across town to the track and has driven it around town some without any trouble since he got the engine in. That ET was with a 4.56 gear though.

did I mention that it comes with an aftermarket 904 case by A&A Transmission?

all this turn key for under 10 grand.

going to pick it up when he gets back from vacation and the Mopar show at Carlisle.

sorry guys, I know its not an A body, but I'm a sucker for a hot rod wagon.
