Show your slant 6 a body!

Just got this old girl home today. The interior is actually pretty decent... The donor slant six and front suspension from a 74 Duster should be installed this week....

Here's ours a 64 dart gt 6 cyl/push button.I really cant decide which way to go with her.Im think for now I will rebuild the suspension and restore the int. I already ordered factory style interior kit from legendary.I gotta say we get people that love this car whenever we take her out.I allready stripped the seats out and restored the floor pans (light rust) and installed new carpet.So far its been fun to drive and work on.Pics make her look a bit better then she really is.

Here's my work in progress. I have new KYB shocks and a new vinyl top waiting for me when I get out of the desert in 9 days.

Here's mine with 42k miles on it. While it might be a little shiney, it does get driven. Most recently a 410 mile trip in the rain. Not my first choice of conditions, but hell... it's a car. I get more joy from driving this one than my 340 car.

Now that's a sharp looking Duster!
 
My old Valiant. It's gone 12.0@110 in street trim on a 150 shot of hose. I tried to get an 11 second time card, but closest I got was 12:001.

So, the stock exhaust manifold WILL work with the Clifford intake? Thought so, but they claim otherwise...

Yes and no. I didn't use the water provision that came with the Clifford and I welded the top of the exhaust manifold shut a while back because I kept blowing the gasket that seals it to the Offy intake I had. For a standard application they will not mate (Clifford and Ex manifold).

Got'cha. I figured it wouldn't seal properly without modification. I had just considered using the Clifford intake because it has F.I. bungs built-in, and thought about the stock exhaust manifold with a turbo like you did. Nice to know it's possible. Thanks!

"waggin" I am jealous! Your wagon looks great! I have a 66 Valiant wagon I have been collecting parts for to do the same thing. Hopefully it will turn out as nice. Great job
 
Dont laugh, its paid for!! My 72 valli parts car. Originally bought it for the floor pans & front fender wells, but its damn near mint. Almost every part that will interchange with my duster will be used. Frame rails are super solid. Dash is almost NOS quality, ect. ect.

I hate to rip it apart, but its organs are needed to save the duster!! 225/6 904 auto. Runs (ran) like a top!!

Here's a 70 I picked up last fall. It's the straightest old Mopar I've ever owned. It was actually owned by a little old lady. I can't find a ding on it.

I bought mine from a Dodge Dealer in FL about 1990 or so. They had a stack of about 20 of them on the table at the show! Asking price was $10.00 each. In my infinate wisdom I only bought 1 for myself....UGH! I then bought the Accessory Set (Includes - 12 chrome plated Screw Washer sets, Chrome Oil Filler Cap, & both Valve Cover Grommets... $5.00!) I figured they would always be available - my bad.

Now, IF you are interested here is the info on them from my 1994 Mopar Performance Catalog:
Chrome Valve Cover - 1960 to 1980 engines P3690742,
1981 to 1987 engines - P4529063,
Valve Cover Accessory Set - P4120272.
As for the 1960's ribbed Valve Covers - I have seen them but they are not listed in the 1994 Catalog - Sorry!
HAPPY HUNTING!

Here is mine on my 1970 Dart GT when I installed it in 1996:

Hope this helps!
