72 Scamp and 440

Also im going to pick up the car this weekend. The guy told me theres a 73 duster next to it if I wanted it or I could have any parts off it I needed. I only have 1 trailer and its a 7hr drive. So can you think of any peices i might want to grab off that duster that would help with conversion. Or peices I might be be able to make some cash on to fund my project.

Grab the wiring harnes and the electronic ignition. If your going to go for big HP, you won't need it anyways, but your new yorker will have electronic ignition, and you can do a quick swap with the parts from the 73 duster.

The build is easy, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
just ask question. I think it is just as easy as a /6 small block swap. it does have some added expenses though. It sounds like you are going to be doing alot of work to the car, so shop around for the big ticket items if you have time.
