This x1000! While any Mopar I do personally must be Chrysler powered, the 8.8 is the way to go. An 8.75 rear for an A body is stupid expensive and you are stuck with small bolt pattern axles. Pricing everything out, an 8.75 spec'd like I want it would be at least $1500. The 8.8 would set...

While I'm usually not the biggest fan of a v6, this is totally unique and out of the box. It should be a peppy machine that gets fairly decent mpg which is needed this day in time. I can't agree with the 1st post though. I haven't seen enough gen iii hemi swaps for them to be even remotely...

How about 1,700hp??? 1100hp R3 sb 1,100HP Street-Legal 1972 Plymouth Duster Purple Terror: How to Get 1,000 HP Out of a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Point being there are several out there. There was also a tube chassis Sebring with a 390 stroker making around 1150. I lost that info quite a while...

Ignore the haters. It is a fabrication masterpiece IMO. At least it doesn't have a stupid "LS1 engine that everybody swaps into everything because its the greatest thing ever!":-? This build is killer. I'm down with any custom ride as long as its mopar powered. :cheers:

I am building a gasser myself...so I find this really cool. I wonder if the axle came from one of those flat nose late 60s vans...

Geico sucks a**. I have been dealing with them since Feb and still haven't made a settlement. The offers are retarded and they will lowball you to no end. If anybody says they have GEICO, GET A LAWYER ASAP. To the OP: Glad you got a Demon. A great replacement for sure!!

I dig all the 66 and up Chargers..so I will be watching this thread. Purists are going to be upset over my build....:cheers: But in all fairness, it had been rotting for the last 25 years. I have a soft spot for rough cars that nobody wants to build. Rock on :happy1:

Great project!! Hang in there!!! I have a '70 that is way worse condition wise.

Hey man...what brand of paint did you use? Looks like you got it right!! It is a cool color because of how it changes when the light hits it.

340plot=good guy!! Tell the naysayers to douche off!! Keep doing what you do!! This is a cool car that needs to be reborn!!

That is sweet!

Love some '70 Duster action! I am bit biased though. Cool project!

Man..that looks great!

I love the fender tag idea. I want to make another one for my '72 340 Demon because it has a few rust holes. The rusted tag would look terrible on a car that is fixed up ... I can't afford the $250.00 either... Any advice on this?? Yours looks really good!! Good resto progress as well.

Looks like a good start. I'd like to see more...

That looks good. I always pay attention to these '74 to '76 builds. I consider these the underdog a bodies.

Yes...!! same bezels! :)

+++1 to StrokerScamp for the above comment. I have seen far worse fixed than what you have there. I say fix it and there is another one saved.

'71's are a one year only deal. Seems like a person could get a different year filler tube and get the cap with that?? Just a thought??

I'd keep the ragtop. I could see it looking all Formula S with some Barracuda grille's up front!

You are lucky to have those rides! :blob: Any pics of the Duster?? You can still bet that there isn't 414 left!

It's still not a common a body. The only other one that I know of is in Canada. There were more than nine FM3 Dusters made in '70, but probably not with the 340. I don't know the exact number for 100% but how many are left is the real question??

This is such a great thread. I can't believe a scrapper was gonna haul it off...completely stupid. I'd put it back to original- with a 340 or 360 that looks like a '70 340. I think that only nine 340 Dusters were made in 1970 with the FM3 code. Very rare indeed. You won't see another one.

I have a /6 car in that same color. It is bare bones as can be. 225/3 speed column shift, rubber floor mat, no drip rail moldings and hubcaps (redlines).. Cool project.

Cool project! Is it B2 Glacial Blue Metallic?

It's beautiful..

Very very nice!!!

My '72 340 Demon is FAR worser than the OP's car. I agree!! You can start with something much worse. To the OP: Cool build and I'll be watching it!!

You seem to have a decent starting point. I'd like to keep up with this thread as I am gonna start on a '72 340 Demon soon..

This is pretty wicked. Which Holley 600 is that? is the double pumper? I have heard so much speculation on carb sizes with modified /6's... I ran a Holley 500 2bbl on mine for a while and that was way stronger than the Edelbrock 4bbl that was previously on it.
