Why Mopar?............The Passion....
Dad always had b&c bodies- they where fast(when I was by myself). Then when I could afford a car, all I could get was a 60 Galaxy; After installing a 63 Merc drivetrain, and 406 parts, I had fun.
Then, needing a reliable car, I could only afford a 70 Duster, 318, 3 speed, 3.23 open(the 340 4 speed was $300 cheaper, but insurance said no).
Took that, added a 500 Holley 2 BBL, stiffer valve springs, old traction bars; and beat all my buddies in the 1/8 mile.
383 Cuda, 396 350 hp chevelle, 302 mustang.
Parts cost more and are hard to find; but it ain't like a honda bike, chebby, or ford(everyone has one, and they all stink, like an azzhole)
And they look better. And when you whup someones azz with one, their jaw drops.
I still have that 70 Duster, it is in the threads in here. Just got the last factory right bank piston left in the usa, but the sealed power rings have .024 gap.
Installed them, hope for the best(bore miked, no ridge, no wear).
Just installed a used 727 with Turbo Action parts; T/A 3200 converter.
Custom drive shaft. Hope it all works when of the jackstands after22 years.
I love mopars. Just for the kick-azz factor.
