70 Duster 5.7 Hemi/46RH

looks like you got a plan there

nice

Thanks! Trying to plan it out haha.

Considering I'm from the rust belt, of course a large part of this project has been replacing/fixing the rust and rotted out areas of the car. That's why most of the pictures involve that haha.

Rusted/rotted areas left to fix:
- Quarters, trunk gutter, and floor extensions
- Rockers
- Inner A pillar on passenger side
- Drivers side door jamb
- Patch two more small areas on the firewall (should have just replaced the whole firewall at this point haha...)

I've got the motor mocked up in the engine bay and transmission propped up by a jackstand. Driveline angle is currently at about 4ยบ without cutting into the floor at all, although I removed the center section of the torsion bar crossmember (no pics yet). I will more than likely reinforce that area this coming weekend and start building a new crossmember/trans mount.

You can also see above, that it looks like the centerlink will get in the way of the oil pan on full right turn. That is with the stock 70 linkage. I'm going to get the 73+ linkage since I bought the Borgeson box with the larger sector shaft anyway. Hopefully without the big dip in the centerlink I'll have just a bit more clearance for the pan.
