Hemi Swapping a perfectly good 70 Duster

I had to force myself to come home with it after I realized I was out for a while and should likely go home and check stuff over. No oil or coolant drips! I may be more happy about no oil drips than the new exhaust note! Hahaha.

The good news is, the winter rarely shuts me down from driving, unless its a wet winter.

I've got the Cam Motion Titan 2 cam, which is 225/235 @ .050 and .594/.577 lift. They don't have a published PRM range, but they do recommend a 28-3500 converter (I don't that crap) and state "improved power in the midrange and upper RPM with emphasis on midrange power and torque." This is the reason I chose this cam. I felt like it would be good on the autocross. I can definitely feel it "turn on" the torque. I have a feeling I'll be bumping the rev limiter until I can train my ears again. It's so smooth I feel like I'm at a lower RPM and look down and I'm at 5500.


Side note I forgot to mention, my homemade one wire alternator modification works beautifully! $50 1 wire alternator, yes please!

Also a follow up to me being concerned about the oil pressure, Once the oil is warm, pressure is around 50 at idle. When cruising its around 70. I'm good with that!
Agree on the RPM feel and sound.. I'm at 3k doing 70 and it doesn't bother me. Drove me batty with the LA. I'll probably do some trans upgrades this winter and honestly, I'm not even sure I'll go with an OD. I just don't care for this lockup 904 (that doesn't lock), so a 727 and a stahl would be a great improvement. Might go through the engine too.. pop some caps, check things over, cam and a tune. Need to add front disc as well. Already have next years Power Tour on the brain. Hindsight stuff and anything to avoid a paint project... Have I mentioned how much I hate paint and body. It's the Devil!!
