Engine bay has paint! I think it looks pretty good for a $20 paint job. I dropped the engine and trans in yesterday. Running or not, it is now officially a 440 duster. Here's the k member in place. And the few suspension and steering pieces I have back from powder coating installed

I dont remember what the tint is. It was the darkest they'd let me go. I;m sure it's illegal. Any chance your running a 4 speed? what kind of power are you getting from your stealth heads. People seem to have mixed feelings about them.

From the research I've done a big block with all aluminum bolt ons and battery in the trunk will weigh less than an iron small block with ac and power steering. The k members are different. but you can buy motor mounts to fit a small block on a slant 6 k.

Thats all for now. Ill be painting the engine bay this weekend if weather permits. I'll post some more when its done.

I'll be redoing my brake lines as well. I couldn't find a prop valve anywhere and since mine was working fine I just had it sand blasted to clean it up a bit. Turned out really nice. Good as new

here's the k member after all the cutting is complete and getting powdercoated. It turned out great.

I had to cut up the k member a little bit to get the schumacker motor mounts to work.

original slant six torsion bars next to the new ones. I forget the diameter but they were slightly bigger than the stock big block ones.

I'll go ahead and redo the suspension while I'm at it.

I decided to contibute something to this site instead of always coming with questions to be answered. This is going to be my 318 to 440 swap thread. Here's the duster in all her beauty. Here's the 318. The car was originally a slant 6 but I rebuilt this motor in my high school auto class...
