This website won't allow me to upload pics of my cyl heads and block. I did order my gasket kit tonight. Also got my valve spring shims ordered. I'll keep trying to post pics up.

Well, very slow progress. Bought a house and got engaged. Got my heads done. Just a slight milling and valve job with some pocket porting. Also had to enlarge the spring seats for the new springs. I'll post specs later. Bought a comp cams kit. I think its .517 lift and 272 duration if I remember...

thats the plan, along with a cam swap and some head work. i use to work at a machine shop and could do my own machining for free. but my old boss turned his machine room into a body prep room. so now i have to pay someone to machine my junk. originally i wanted to bore it if needed and add...

havent made much progress lately, been buying and flipping other cars and working on my 87 w150. but i got the engine and trans out of the car and starting to get ready to smooth and clean up the firewall. also been trying to decide on what direction i want to go with the bottom end. ive...

thanks! this is an idea of what direction im going with this car.

The passenger side

The headers have to be sandblasted anyways for I have a few spots to tig weld yet. The plan is white fenderwells, hemi orange motor with gold moroso valve covers. I scored the covers at the Indy mopar swap meet a few weeks ago for 15 bucks.

So I've been wanting to ceramic coat my fenderwells white for the nostalgic look. I know there's a possibility of the flanges eventually turning brownish but I'm willing to live with that. So to get an idea if I'll like it I bought 97cent can of flat white to see what it'll look like. What do...

thanks! its been an ongoing project for the last 8 years. I`ll do something to it, then drive it, then break it, then change something else. im not real good on keeping up with posting everything i do to the car, but currently its time for the 440. central IL? myself and some friends will be...

Hopefully by the next week I will have the engine and trans back out and begin welding up the holes in the firewall

Ok, so I'm using my ol' lady's iPhone to upload these pics. And after uploading the first pic I realized her contact name for me is across the top of the pic. Oh well, I have no idea to fix it. Lol

After finally getting my other vehicles as well as everyone else's fixed, I was able to continue on my duster. Last night I was able to beat/bang my swap wet fenderwell headers to fit. And I have to say they fit pretty good! Excuse the mess in the pics. After I yank the 440 out for the final...

No problem, I'll have the rear done hopefully around springtime

I think we added a reply at the same time. Demon deal fell through

I did a big bolt pattrler swap on mine the cheap way, used 78 f body spindles, and 73 upper control armsand calipers/rotors. Works great and did it all under 300 bucks. The rear in my car is a 8.25, the gears I got are 3.55s used for 50 bucks. They are in great shape but now I got 4.10 new from...

Replica racer, nope, demon deal fell through. Turned out the old man had dementia and had lost his mind. He backed out and later I met a genrlam who offered the same old man 10000 for the demon and the guy chased him off. The car is still in the same spot

O3jeepjeep, heck yeah man. I graduated 2 yrs ago and I'm up in bedford now working in Bloomington. I have a few buddies still at Vincennes and stop by there every semester. Pm me with your name. And yes I'm still friends with Tim. In fact I was at his sons first bday party last sunday

Well, the key to getting parts cheap is to keep your eyes open and never pass an opritunity to meet people and lend them a hand. Most of the stuff I've gotten have been after striking up conversations with random car guys I meet, and if they need help finding parts or help pulling a motor, lend...

Got my taxes filed early, hopefully in the next 2 weeks I'll have new fenderwell headers for the duster and progress can continue! But in the meantime I'm gathering everything to build the trans. Got the big bell housing 727 from the Winnebago and a freebie parts 727 small nellhousing to rob the...
