My initial opinion was go with a small block, better for daily driver use, but a big block would be pretty awesome........... I have never driven a big block Duster so I don't really know if it makes a lot of difference as far as the handling of the car feels. I have always heard that small...

Pictures of how mine mounts.............. No bolts attach to the heads.

Rumblefish's thread on his conversion has a wealth of information on what it will take to make the conversion, and I agree that the poly 318 is not worth the time or money it would take. It cost me almost $6,000 to perform a conversion, of course mine was with mostly new parts. (See attached...

I bought my 1" bypass hose fitting from Year One for $16.00, Part FR113. The heater hose fitting (3/8" NPT) part FR111 was $9.30. You may be able to go cheaper elsewhere......... but Year One has what you are looking for.

I bought the Trans Dapt kit for my 74 Duster conversion from /6 to 318. The original mounts were spool mount type. Nothing lined up. The TD kit specifies to 1972, I don't know if this makes a difference. I sent it back and bought the Schumacher kit that was made for 1974 models. I had to...

I didn't like the idea of hitting the plug with a hammer either so I used a hole saw the size of the knockout. But...... the grommet woud not fit so I had to take a little off at a time with a dremel tool and a round file until the grommet would slide through. The whole process took me maybe...

Attached is a list I made during the conversion to a 318. I would recommend making a list like this, it helped me. And do your homework for items such as pulleys & brackets. Also V-belts, I waited till I had everything mocked up and then bought the belts. Since you are going with a 360 and...

I had to replace all the PS pump brackets when I converted from the /6. Here are a couple pictures of the installed pump. Look closely at the pictures, Note that there are THREE brackets attached to the engine/water pump plus an additional bracket on the back of the Saginaw pump as well...

I agree, if this is going to be mostly used as a STREET car as you stated I would recommend that you go to a small block. Still a big undertaking to make the swap but the overall driveability with a small block would be better if you intend to drive a lot on the streets. You will also need to...

Awesome set-up. I love a neat clean engine bay. Yours is perfect. Great Job.

I went with Blue, different, and because my exterior is blue I just figured it would look good together.

Transdapt also makes them, part number 4695, and state they are for 1967-1972 A-Body /6 to 340/360 engines. I purchased them from a local speed shop for $70. I returned them though because I was converting a 1974 Duster which had spool mounts and the Trans Dapts would not work in my...

I used a 3/8" drive ratchet and extension to remove my adapter. The inside of the adapter bolt is square.

What about the MP gaskets with the heat riser block off? (P/N 4286569) How do you install the block off plates that come in the set?

Sounds like great advice. Since I am installing this in a daily driver I think it should be okay. I just want a reliable V-8 and ditch the /6. HP numbers not really a concern. I willl ask about the pistons. I agree, the Mopar crates are very attractive but.......... I appreciate your...

Has anyone purchased a motor from Maund Motorworks (E-Bay Store)? If so how were they to work with and what quality are their engines. Looks like a fair deal on a crate motor, would just feel better if I hear from one of you. Thanks.
