I got a six pack in mind, I do make mistakes

I found another thing wrong with the engine as I was reasembiling it, the rods were mounted on the pistons backwards. I cant say any thing good about the people who built this engine. So now I really can atleast say that everything that they bolted to the block was F-ed up. Do not use them...

which store did this happen at? I want to call them up

Your rocker arms have 2 oil gallies right? 1 pointing to the front ( Valve side) & one in the back that oils through the adj (pushrod side) If you change the adj screw to a ball style it need to have a simular type of oil galley/recess cut into the threads or it will burn up the pushrod/adj. no...

Just wondering if anyone has checked them out :downtown:on ebay. I'm hoping that some of you will get a great deal like I did on a good set of heads.

My wheels are 15x10 & have a 3 1/2 \BS The rear end is narrowed to 48"

It's been a while sence I've posted but I finally got the ladder bar coil over set up in the car & welded it up! It took me alot of second guessing/measuring to actuly get the rear welded in but it is installed. It looks like it sets a little to high for my liking because of the fenders being...

Hey Donnie, Sorry to hear that there is a problem w/ the title & you cant get ahold of Chris. It's been a few days sence I've been on the site and now I hear this, dam it I hope that you arent mad at me, it looks bad on my part. I wish that I would have found out sooner about this. Yeah Chris...

Welcome to the site, glad you joined up Jon. I hope you get another camera or you can get you photos posted somehow, we would like to see your Duster, it sounds like a sweet little ride. I remember when I was a Dad Gum Teen, I'm sure that people thought/said a lot worse of me than I was, but...

All I know is the Grinch SUCKS!! Christmas is about giving & caring for people. The last couple of days I have pulled 15 people out of being stuck in the snow & ice. I didnt know any of them but it made me feel good to give help to people (most of witch were families w/ little kids) on Christmas...

Joe Mc, Sounds like a great plan to me. Your Duster looks sweet. I love the color combo! You said you need a rear end for your car, do you mean the gears or the whole rear end assm? I just got rid of a 3.55 Sure Grip set up. Hopefully the taxi will have what you need. I know the feeling of...

Yeah rumble, all that I know is what ever I do to the engine or what ever the 68 runs (just as long as its faster than a 10.90) I will be jumpin off the ground!!! I'm doing a little day dreamin my self....:read2:

Hey joeDust451, 10.2 @ 130 sounds great. Are thinking this w/ the 4.30 gears? Any Ideas on the 4.10 gear as far as ET, MPH ? I got my hands on a Hughes 4800 converter now, so that should help the 60ft.

I will never eat cottage cheese again!

Hey moper I'm all ears & it's all good!! I need the opinions of others. I'm just on a very tight budget with the car so I kinda have to run what I have at the moment. I do have a bud that has a 71 Demon w/ a .30 440, 11.-1, .590 roller, as cast Edelbrock Perfromers, & a Victor Intake, turning...

Thanks for the heads up on the gear Men. I was wondering if the gear was a little to steep for the 499. I bought the rear when I was doing A W2 small block, so the gears would have been good in that application. If there a chance that the 499 would put this car in the mid 10 sec range w/a 4.10...

Crackedback, Thanks for the tutorial from Alston Chassis works. I will print it out and put it in the garage.

Man 68 HEMI GTS, You have a beautiful BaddAzz car! You say it's a street car? Pump gas? I love the rear wheel well openings!! I wish I had the talent to do that to mine when I built it. Are they grafted from Duster/Demon sheet metal?

Yes speaking of suspension I'm trying w/ some exsperienced help, to put a narrowed rear, ladder bar, coil over in the car. As for getting it right wish me luck.

I would raise the compression but race fuel cost mega dollars per gallon & I plan on adding up some street miles, So pump gas with a booster is what she will be drinking. He*l, if it wont do it on the motor I can always put it on drugs!!

A little porting will have to wait until I make alot of runs & it's time to freshen it up. I do plan on seeing a bunch of street miles. I was doing the W2 small block Mopar stroker thing, then the stars alined different for me one day & I got this big block. 684 hp/691tq!!! Thats a Freakin...

Yeah, I've heard that the as cast Performer Edelbrocks wont support life to a 500ci engine. I remember seeing a flow chart on as cast performer RPM's & they were rated all the way up to 318 cfm @.700 lift. I think it was Hughes Engine. I fugure w/ my cam they will flow around 300 cfm. I wish I...

The heads are as cast factory Performer RPM Edelbocks with Comp springs. I've been told by a few people that it would make 650 hp. The guys who built the thing the first go around (Barrett Racing Engines) were thinking that It would make around 700hp with ported & polished 452's milled .50 w/...

I learned from the last joke I read on another forum not to drink and read funny jokes. It sprays everywhere!! I'm glad I learned the first time it would have happened again!!!!

Hey 70whiteduster, Thanks for posting your beautiful car before & after. It's come along way since you got it. We need some photos of the green & white Dusters too.. Hey you got room for another car to build? Is that Jerry Hairris in the 12th photo? I'd like to have someone with his knowledge...

Wellcome aboard octangjunkie, looks like a nice clean/straight little prodject car you got. Yeah me and everyone else on this site have a love for our A-bodies. Oh you can dam sure make it a street machine worthy of 12's. This is the place to find out how!!!

It's kinda hard to see just how it looks or is going to look w/the narrowed rear installed at the moment. My garage is not very wide but its long enough for 2 cars. Maybe Santa will build me a shop someday. (PS. Santa, if your reading this I would like a 40x30) :rolleyes:
