I'm Cummins swapping a '74 Duster, thought I'd share the progress.

it's easy to tell on this thread that most people have never done any major alterations to a car or any modification of any degree other than open a box and bolt a part on.
If wanting to be a up and coming you tube star this project will provide years of content.
I`ve done a somewhat similar out of the box build that took me a decade to finish, but my car was a rotted-gutted basket case. His car seems to be pretty solid which could knock his build time down to a few years, Mine is an old 50`s frame car so I didn`t have to rely on unibody strength, but I did fab up a complete custom frame.
It will be great experience for him as it was for me.
Uh....A coal rolling gasser?

I'm so confused!
Might be the way to go, lower the engine in a subframe and keep the flat hood, giving oil pan ground clearance :D
