    Oil pan replacement

    I was able to put the one in my duster without taking off motor mounts but i did have to unbolt the headers(did not have to take them out, just needed wiggle room) and take off the steering cross link. One piece gasket helps.

    Schumacher adapter mounts?

    I used the schumacher adapter motor mounts on my 76 duster, /6 to 360 conversion. I did receive one wrong mount the first time but called them and the quickly shipped the correct one. The mounts worked great and were easy to install, only have to drill one hole and they come with good...

    16yrs old, first car advise?!

    I would not bother with trying to swap in a big block, if your looking for more power you can always build another small block 360 or something for a reasonable price. You can get a ton of power out of a small block without the hassle that you would go through to put in a big block. Just my...

    La 360 Oil Pan Gasket....

    I had the same issue with my 360 Duster, leaked out the back of the oil pan so i tried a one piece gasket... still leaked. Finally i ended up buying a new Milodon oil pan from Mancini. It was pretty expensive for an oil pan but solved my issue, also used a one piece gasket with rtv in the back...

    Shock length and opinions

    Ok. So as long as the length center to center of mounting bolts is in between the expanded and collapsed lengths the shock will work.

    Duster Shakes on take off

    Im not sure what that is sorry. but the clutch is a "science friction street slayer stage 2 ceramix clutch". From what i was told when i purchased it(awhile ago...) it is an aggressive clutch thats why im thinking it might by clutch chatter. Maybe its a clutch that doesnt like to slip, possible...

    360 Duster Headers Problems

    Ya they are brand new motor mounts. I ended up just heating the tube up and hitting it with a hammer but it is still really close. Does anyone know if all that heat right next to the steering box will hurt the steering box at all?

    67 barracuda 360 swap update

    I am currently having the same problem on my 360 duster so i did the same thing as someone above, heat it up and hit it with a hammer. But do you guys think this will effect the motor specifically that piston at all by changing the shape and volume of that header tube. Just curious.
