Project Riddler's Ride - 1976 Plymouth Duster
Well it's been a while since I posted to this log. For good reason. My project I've hard for 12 years melted a piston and I've begun parting it out. I'll miss her! Here's a picture of that car.
All the money I'm making from parting this car out is getting put into the Duster. Woohoo!
Anyway, this week I found another Hemi 5.7L engine. This time a 2008 LX motor. THe story goes this motor was in a charger at a body shop that was involved in an accident. The owner drove away and the car overheated. The shop replaced the thermostat and did a few other things. Still overheated. The insurance company told them to replace it. I purchased this for $300CDN.
Yeah my little pickup has brought home two hemi's!
So this motor is an MDS motor. The plan is to remove the MDS lifters and replace them with the truck lifters.
The plan now is to sell off the truck 5.7 parts as well as the extra car parts I have. I have a spare LX timing cover and intake and pretty much a whole truck motor.
