Any guidance on my 1970 Duster plans
@junkyardhero So I went out and measured my front sway bar, 1.125in it looks like. Also, thanks for the pointers! I was totally thinking of upgrading the spindles, but thats definitely part of the plan now. I'll get a good set, no drop. I'm going to start all the work after the holidays and begin pulling the front apart, and before it goes for paint.
@72bluNblu and @DionR Thanks! I totally didn't think of wheels. I have no plans along those lines right now. Any particular tires you've found work well?
Also @72bluNblu what sort of torsion bar handling parts are you referring to? I may not be looking in the right place, trying to get a better idea of what is out there and what sort of things there are to modify and tweak.
Finally to everyone saying "sell the TA"... No. :) The reason why has a few aspects to it. The guy who sold it to me did so because he thinks I may just be able to get it running in a car that he'll be able to drive at some point. I got a sweet deal of $1k for it, but with the understanding that I'm going to keep it and use it. It was rebuilt almost 45 years ago, driven around in a Cuda for a bit (not AAR) and then him and my uncle removed it before a road trip to preserve it and well... time went by. Didn't come with a 6 pack intake, but thats ok. Finally, I think it's cool and it'd be neat in this car. If I ever think I'd run it too hard and destroy it, I'll pull it to use on something else, but till then I like this motor, it's the thing that kicked off this whole project, so I'm putting it in.
Also, heres a photo or two of the interior as I bought it.
