Thank you autoxcuda!
This is great information for those who do not have the funds to purchase an AlterK. I also should have been more specific on what it was that I have so here's some more info:
'72 Duster that had a 318 from the factory so it has a v8 k frame. I will be using a 360 block too. I am also planning on using the tubular UCA and LCA from CAP automotive products: http://www.capautoproducts.com/Control_Arms.html A Wilwood disk brake conversion is also on the board.
Thanks again for your input.
So, are you swapping a V10 into your 72 Duster or a 360?
The V10 swap is going to present some issues with the oil pan and exhaust at the very very least. Also I think it will be too long. I think the V10 conversions in E and B-bodies needed the Radiator mounted on the other side of the radiator support to gain room.
The alterkion might allow you to keep the stock oil pan and exhaust. That might be $2,000 in custom header and custom oil pan work.
