Dumpster diver 70 Duster build

Wait what? Did I hear that right?

Which part? That you can drive it?

 

[junkyardhero]

Not everything needs a turbo my friend. Once it’s all together I’ll let you roll it around and enjoy the view.

after the test drive, i'll come over and help you put the cragars back on it for when he inevitably buys it.

No that everything DOESNT need a turbo. That’s blasphemous.

Cragars are good. I don’t understand his distaste for them.

Hard to have those sweet gold velocity stacks with a carb hat. Don’t you dare recommend a draw thru setup either

unless it's a 6:71 supercharger drawing thru the carbs of course

That would be more than acceptable. My bank account said no though. Tunnel ram it is.

yep, i've had a few tunnel ram setups over the years for just that reason
neil.

“Just put it together and drive it” is the lie I kept telling myself.

So, scored some 660 holleys, a killer TR1Y tunnel ram, then scored some well priced buckets out of a 74 duster that got wrecked, bought some 15x8 slots, was gifted the 15x3.5 fentons….and now in the next week the 4 speed pedal setup should be here and I’ll start gathering everything to put an a833 in it. Gotta play with the throttle linkage to clear the billet baseplates, then hopefully over winter (slow season for work) I can jam all this nonsense into one rough around the corners “day two” street car. If I’ve learned anything it’s that I can’t leave anything alone and good enough is never good enough with the cars.

Sweet old 3 wheeler, 185?

125m. Estate sale find for a crisp 100 dollar bill. Carb, tires, and recovered the seat. Cheapest fun I’ve had in a long time.

Heck ya, I rode the crap of a Yamaha 125 2 stroke when I was a kid.

It’s not quite ready for these to be on it for good but I just had to see. Also, 15x8 with 4.5 backspace is about perfect on a 68-70 B body rear.

ya gotta love a set of slot mags
