The 7 1/4" rear absorbs less power parasitically than larger (8 1/4" or 8 3/4") offerings. To maximize power, the smallest axle housing that can handle the job is the best one for the job. I think you already know this, though.

Dang! Where'd I put my sun glasses?? That's bright.

I love the way you're working to preserve a stock look. I cringe at butchered cars with garish cages and such. I'm following!

Did you happen to buy your car from Gary in Halifax, PA? It would have had a 340 T/A 6-pack with a rusty no-paint block.

You may find the '67 grill grows on you. I always wanted to put one on a Duster.

My dream car is a 1968 Barracuda fastback -- like yours. I wouldn't care if it were a /6, 318, or Formula-S car. I have in my mind mods I would do to make it better, and what you're doing to yours aligns very well with my thoughts. All I can say is I love your car and what you're doing!

What's wrong with Comp Cams? I've used them for decades and they're always my 1st choice. I have a Jeep 4.0 to 4.6 stroker and chose Comp Cams for it. I haven't fired it yet, should I be scared? Educate me.

So I started reading through this thread thinking to myself, what a turd. As I watch you transform it into something incredible, I'm thinking to myself, "I have to make some meaningless post so I'm subscribed!" You do fabulous work!

I did a body colored dash once on a '70 /6 Duster. I retrofitted a Rallye dash from a '71 340, added Rallye wheels, color matching (though not factory) stripes, and sold it to my brother for about 1/2 what I had into it because he wrecked his DD and needed a new ride NOW. (This was 1987.) It...

Those type checks allow you to find glitches before they get buried. Great work.

For the steering box, the Jeep Cherokee version has successfully been adapted to older A/B Body applications. If you're not a stickler for originality, maybe look there.

My guess is mid- to late-production. How many '75 Dusters were made? Yours is your VIN number of total production. Just a rough guess.

As for production date, the last 6 digits of your VIN can give you a rough idea. Low numbers are early production, while high numbers are late production.

I'm self employed, I work out of the house, I have no boss standing over my shoulder. Another thing that helps motivate me is I keep a daily log of everything I do. This log is then shared with 3 other people; folks that I work with and answer to. It's like the gold star on the board in...

Preface; I'm 57. I can relate to diminishing zest & zeal to get things done -- to a point. We got rid of public/cable TV back in 1999. I don't have that distraction (but obviously I now have the internet). If there's a choice between watching a sitcom or sanding a fender, the choice becomes...

My favorite veggie is potatoes. Looks good to me, but it involves potatoes. Anything else is peripheral.

I bit my lip reading suggestions to add a cage, tubs, and other hacks. Of course, without anything to define "original", it's moot -- sort of. The VIN verifies it to be a BB, even without the fender tag/build sheet. From there, you could use only factory parts and create the Dream Car from...

...no, I'm not going to post (too late)!

Go to buy a chain saw, there are now more electric options than gas. Check out the latest lawn mower offerings -- again, electric outnumber the gas offerings. I happen to be an engineer in the electric motor arena, and am trying to make these things actually make financial and practical sense...

There is at least 1 DIY Solar Group on facebook, and a DIY Solar Forum (can't find the link off hand). There are really cheap solar panels out of Texas, bargain used charge controllers and inverters, and innovative ways to tap the battery's DC to directly drive loads (LED lights, BLDC motors to...

Curios, all '84s had the 4-lug. G-bodies, Shelby Chargers, and I thought the GLH-T got the 5-lug starting in '85. I know I parted an '86 GLH and scarfed the 5-lug stuff for my '84 Charger.

There was also a 1.6 liter Peugeot engine.

Don't know what you paid, but it may be a significant score; if for no other reason than to document & preserve history.

You forgot the 2.2/2.5 4-cylinders. I've had 2.2 carb, 2.2 T1-2-3, built NA 225, turbo 225, several SBs and 2 BBs.

I play in the battery and energy arena, and have professional friends that do as well; including EV's. My friends & I see many of the pitfalls pointed out in this thread, and believe we have at least some answers. Advocates of ICE platforms are building arguments around over a century and a...

Nova translates to "No Go", or 'It Doesn't Run!'.

Oof! You got it this far and just NOW decide to share pics?!? Hopefully you have more, and hopefully you'll post them. I'm always excited about a '71 Demon, and it looks like you are taking the time to do what you can as best you can. Happy Trails!

Pictures are worth a thousand words. I'm excited about what you did. Did you take any pictures, before/after? If so, please share.

Just last night I watched a movie, "Snake & Mongoose" that had a few scenes with "The Hawaiian" in. I told my wife how he had passed away just a day or 2 ago.

Watched it last night. It had me jumping & shouting, "It's the Hawaiian! Hey, The California Flash! Linda Vaughn!" And at the end I cried. I too had lost a son. One of the most intense and emotional movies I've watched in quite a long time. I appreciated the original footage laced...
