My 422 smallblock build
UPDATE…….
Well, after a whole year has gone by I finally got around to buttoning this thing up. It was a VERY busy year for me and so my car hobby was put on the back burner. My 12 year old son became very ill and was eventually diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, which meant many 4 hr round trips to the doctor and tons of time in waiting rooms.
We bought our first travel trailer last spring and went camping as much as possible. Plus I was coaching little league and taking our daughter to T-ball. Between all that stuff and working 40-50 hours a week, the Duster hardly moved last year, let alone doing anything with the stroker.
I managed to get things buttoned up over the winter despite trying to spend as much time in the woods hunting with my son as possible. I gathered the last few accessories for the install like pulleys, stat housing, spark plugs and wires, bolts and all the other trinkets that make these things work.
Last night I started preparing the faithful little 318 for its eviction from the frame rails of the Duster and got everything on the topside done. Next it will go up on jack stands so I can disconnect everything down under.
I’m hoping to get things swapped out ad soon as possible since the weather here in PA is starting to turn for the better and before long I’ll be back to camping, and baseball, and working overtime, and etc, and etc, and etc…..
