Any guidance on my 1970 Duster plans

Thanks for the rundown @72bluNblu thats a lot to think about. I'm getting a way better idea of what goes into this. Really appreciate the time you took to lay that all out. I think starting out I'm probably not going to be as serious as you, but it looks like theres a lot of tinkering to be done as time goes on.

Seems like starting out it'll be worth it to find a 73+ spool k-member instead of trying to reuse the /6 member in there now with conversion mounts. Looks like theres options out there too! Which is great.

Glad everyone confirmed that sway bar is installed wrong, I had my suspicion when I first saw it. I'm happy to say, I didn't do that. I'll need to check how it's attached to the LCAs.

And look, with the TA engine, I had to go again tonight and check the block casting, yes it's real, and yes I'm still planning to use it. However I may check the registry just in case, why not?
