Hemi Swapping a perfectly good 70 Duster
With the exception of the catch can and some AC lines (which won't be visible), the engine compartment is pretty much done. I painted the HEMI badging on the coil covers with the same paint that's on the exterior of the car. I was having trouble deciding which color to go with, but a good friend who has a really good eye for design suggested gloss black. Considering he's a graphic designer and he hasn't steered me wrong on other things, I had to listen. He was right again. I'm super happy with the appearance. I've said it many times that I was trying hard to knock the ugly off this thing and I think I accomplished that. Dare I say it looks better than the LA engine???
