1974 Duster
Member
Hi All,
I have been out of here for a few years. But finally back to it. I have been building my 74 duster after I retired from the Army. I still have little ones to raise and busy but almost ready to fire it up. Last year I bought a dodge truck with a good 440 and 727 and worked all winter to prep to drop it in. It turned out to be a low mileage cast crank warranty engine and rebuilt 727. Score, it had some type of small cam so I replaced timing chain and oil pump. Rebuilt the heads with hemi springs and good valve job and had my machinist do a 75 degree throat cut in the bowls. Stock 71 intake and HP avs. Stock distributor for now and TTI shorty headers. Battling elec gremlins and leaky exhaust studs but coming along slow and steady. This sight has helped me so much over the years, thanks guys.
