I have had the 73 340 Duster for 10 yrs now..It used to have a eddy headed hughes cam 360 in it..but would not pass smog...now no smog required..plus a TA 10 inch converter for the 727.

the original engine and trans are sitting in storage shed.

Used these rods....

Those look just like the Falcon's in the pic. I have them in the scamp now. On mine the piston pin bush had to be honed so the pins would fit. I called them up and they gave me an $80.00 Refund for the machine work to get the pins to fit. I paid at the time $300.00 for them. I just looked and for same rods they have almost doubled..... Funny cause they all use the same casting it seems. Machine work is only difference.

Sweet on the no smog.... Smog on these old cars would suck.
