Upgraded 360 Cam?
$650 wouldn't even buy a rusted mustang body. Good price for the magnum, to bad there's nothing available for it unless you want to spend all your time on the internet looking for parts. The dusters probably need lots of sheet metal work, I've found 1 duster in Missouri and it needed more work than I was wanting to have done. When I was comparing the sbm's to the Chevy and Fords I was merely talking about cruisers not race cars. If you compare cost between the 3 on basic things mopars cost more. But I still like them.
There is plenty for the later B body cars, you just have to know exactly what your looking for. It is a cruiser decked out drive train wise w/a ‘00 - 5.9, 600 AFB, rpm intake, JY distributor, Hooker Super comps @ 1-3/4 which were pricey even at the time when I paid $330. It sports a trap door air cleaner from ‘72. A stock stall 727 (Which will shortly be changed out after 17 years) & a 9-1/4 w/3.55’s. (Which came from a donor Cordoba that was divided between 3 cars.)
The ‘71 Duster at the time got the Cordobas 400/727 coupled to a 8-3/4 purchased from a FABO member. Swapped it out for a small block/904. This will be the drag car. Wanna debate your Chevy parts vs my MP build?
‘74 Duster was a driver with minimal parts. The 318 got a 218@050 Hyd cam, LD4B, 600 AFB, Hooker headers into a summit exhaust. At 7.8-1, I mustered a low 15 overheating.
Congratulations again on the move to sunny Florida friend! I'd love to have your weather to work in compared to what I'm facing right now...
Thanks! Well, tonight’s low is a baffling 32*’s though normally it’s been in the upper 40’s to low 50’s. It’ll get colder. It’s January and February that always are the coldest winter months, soooooooooo LOL!
Daytime highs are all over the place. I’m not used to this. But! It seems to be floating around from the mid 60’s to mid 70’s. Forecast on Saturday is 52! Chilly!
Woooo! Pop in zip 11720 for my old hood.
Yea…. It’s goona get colder there too!
