Captainkirk's Duster project

OK, just got off the phone with the engine shop. The crank balancing is done, along with chamfering the oil holes as I had requested. Both rod and crank journals are 10 under (note to self). So the bearings I purchased for the cast 340 crank should work as it was ground 10 under as well.
Next up; heads and cam discussion. More to follow as it unfolds.

Also, stashing some drive train info here as well, so I can retain it when I need it:

Differential #1-3.55 Sure Grip
Differential #2-3.91 Sure Grip
A-Body A-833 Trans gear ratios:


First-2.66:1
Second-1.91:1
Third-1.39:1
Fourth-1:1

Correct (factory) tire size for the 340 Duster is E70-14 or F70-14. OD is 26.64"

This is so much better than trying to search through old threads to find this info.
