Swapped to Muscle - 75 Duster Daily build
Got a few packages in the mail today. I got a good chunk of the electronics for the interior. Brake switch, turn signal switch, headlight dimmer switch, headlight/dash light switch all in hopes to fix some of the electrical gremlins.
Also, I scored on the 360 magnum that I mentioned. It was the one that was listed as "bad". Reached out to the guy and he mentioned that he put in a new set of lifters in hopes to fix a "tick" in it but it didnt help. Its coming from cyl 8 or 6. He pulled the engine and trans and replaced both. I walked away with the 360 and 46re... for FREE. Super stoked about that. Tomorrow I gotta move the Hemi off the stand and temporarily transplant it in the engine bay of my 78 truck to put the 360 on the stand.
I also read the 38 page sticky on the Ford 8.8 swap. Really leaning towards that at this option. I might go to my local JY tomorrow and see what is available and *maybe* just pull one. I would keep the stock width and run it as is for the time being if I were to go that route. I have so much research to do on this and the build I want to do with the 360. Once I start tearing into it, maybe this weekend, ill know more.
