I figure it's as good a time as any to start a build thread for my SBM... The story starts back in February of last year (2017), the 360 in my '70 Duster gave up the ghost (story in itself) and the car has been sitting engine-less since then. I initially thought of doing a full rebuild on the original 318 but for the money it didn't seem worth it. Then I got the idea to pull a 5.9L Magnum from the junkyard so this past March I drove over to the local pull-n-pay yard and ripped one out of a 2001 Ram 1500... it was around $130 for the whole short block including lifters but the 8+ hours spent wrestling the engine out of the truck made it not feel like so much of a bargain LOL. Regardless I'm pretty happy with what I got...
