[70dusterpink]

Well I'm new to mopars... And only 21.. I bought a 70 duster with no engine or tranny... I located a running 340 for $900 (yes only $900 running carb to pan it's a 69 out of a challenger) I then found a working 904 for $50... With convertor... Then dropped her in last weekend... Hope to get her up and running within 2 weeks.... Once my manifolds get her and starter...

O I bought this car about a year ago in NJ it's pink... Bright pink... Has a nos sharktooth grilled and go-go wing... I'll try and post some pics... Just wanted to drop in and show you guys what I been working on...

Cool. Sounds like a nice setup once it's all working.

Pictures are always good here in the land of picture junkies. Also, the 340 isn't out of a 69 challenger as they did not start building these until 1970! Good luck and welcome to the world of more power!

Sounds nice. Some good finds for sure and at a nice price. Cant wait to see them pics!

Ya I guess the 340 is a early 70. Ya I thought I got great finds he also had a 11 second 340 he was willing to sell me for $1200 but it was high compression (12.5) so no pump gas. and had no intake.....

I'll post pics tonight for sure...

So, how about those pics?

Ah to be 21 again

Do a cranking compression test and report back, if over 175 psi, yeah you may well have problems on pump gasoline.
