Thanks for the replies! Hemi71x I sent you a PM

I have been working on the brakes on my 72 duster (car has been sitting for years.) Put a new master cylinder on the car (15/16 from dr diff) now I'm working on pads/rotors and replacing lines. I discovered I had some pistons stuck in the bores and a couple of the pistons had some wear. I am...

Thank you!

Yeah i was wondering if that might be to skinny. Thanks for the reply.

So i finally convinced my dad to sell me his duster. Our family has owned the car since it came off the show room floor in 1972. My dad has owned it since 1982. Original 340 4 speed that retains the original motor and trans. I am super pumped to be the current owner and can't wait to start...

Thanks I'm looking forward to it! Hoping for a follow on to Germany.

I have received orders to Turkey, so I am selling my 1973 Dart. Located in Northeast Mississippi. I have owned this car for three years. I rebuilt the motor (1969 340) in July 2013. Brand new pro form 750 double pumper, edelbrock tarantula (also comes with strip dominator) x heads, surfaced...

I had the same problem. I milled the intake a little at a time until it lined up. I ditched the cork gaskets and used RTV. Worked out fine for me.

Bump. I know some of you guys are in Mississippi. I only have two Mopars registered so far.

Columbus AFB, MS is putting on an air show the weekend of April 5/6. I have been allotted space on the airfield for a car show in conjunction with the event. 200 cars is my limit. The car show portion will be Sunday, April 6th only. Show is free with prizes awarded for best of show, pre 75, and...

I talked to my cousin and this is the car he owns. If your still interested I will see if he would mind me giving out his contact info (im sure he wouldn't.) Just let me know.

When was this car sold? My cousin who lives in Texas has had one that looks just like this (minus the stickers) for about 9 years. He is located close to Dallas. Did the car have a cage when you owned it?

Will do, thanks

Ya I read that is some other threads. I will check it over very well. I really wanna order the Doug's, just want to make sure there are no major issues with a 73.

I'm looking at the kevco pans and Doug's headers. Doug's says the headers won't fit with the 73 and up centrelinks, but I have read where others have used them. Does anyone have any experience with this combo?

Thanks for all the great info. The kit was ordered today. As soon as it comes in im taking the block to the shop to have it decked.

And the next question is if I had my heads milled and the block decked would that throw off the valve train geometry? I have stock push rods and stock 1.5 adjustable rockers.

http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=671&sb=2 Ok how about stepping up to this cam. With the pistons from the Hughes assembly and if my heads cc out to 74 I will be in the 9 to 9.5:1 compression range. I am also assuming that I will need to get the block milled to .000...

For budget reasons I am going to stick with the X heads and plan on swapping to something else at a later date. The cam I was looking at was comps XS274S. http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/cam-specs/Details.aspx?csid=670&sb=2

Thanks for all the replies and the good info. After a lot of research I decided on the KB243s. Then my dad called this morning (he is helping me put this build together) and offered to buy a stroker kit as a birthday present. What are your thoughts on the below kit with my X heads (which will...

PM sent

Ok I am looking for some more advice. The 340 checked out fine at 30 over. I have decided to make this build a little more street friendly and I want a compression range of 9.5-10.0-1 . Problem is I cant seem to find any pistons that will get me there. The X heads checked out at 74cc. I have...

Ya the cam stuff is a bit premature. I'm having the machine shop take a look at the block this week and getting the heads cc'd to get a better idea of where I am at. Thanks for the advice.

Sounds good thanks for the info!

I have been looking at comps 20-227-4. 225/525 and lunati voodoo 273-360 276/284. .513/.533. That is about all I have found that is in the power band I was hoping for

That's what I'm looking for as far as duration and lift but was hoping to get a little more low end, say a range of 1800-6000 or 2000 to 6200. I don't plan on winding the motor up past six grand very often. Is that a realistic expectation or will a cam with that range be to small for this amount...

Thanks for the reply. I am planning on staying with the current set up as far as heads/pistons. MSD 6al. I'm going flat tappet and would be ok with solid or hyd. I am going to be getting Tti headers but not sure of the size yet. I currently have a Holley strip dominator and an old edelbrock...

I'm starting my first engine build and wanted to get some advice. Car is a 73 swinger mini tubed 8 3/4 4.10 gears, 727 2800-3200 stall. I just got the motor tore all the way down and am going to recam it. It's a 30 over 69 340. TRW 12.5 to 1 pistons and it had an Isky 296/555. X heads. I'm...

That was going to be my next stop! Thanks for the info.

I am located in North Mississippi (Starkville) and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good machine shop. I don't mind traveling a little ways for good work (Memphis, Birmingham, Jackson.)
