So here is a pix of the Duster my neighbor bought yesterday, no drive train, 1/4s rusted out, no floors, interior gutted, zero drive train and no title. Still a score at 100 bucks. Guy had a running 360 on a makeshift stand looks to be early 90s, think roller cam? Offered 300 for it, a spare intake, brand new gas tank for Duster. A new cam of unknown origin, I edelbrock carb and some other “speed” parts. All in 300 bucks. Now the funny part, he has to hide it all in my race trailer so his bride does not get wind of the whole operation. I told him he could easily get his money back by selling tickets to watch him try and explain new Duster in drive to his wife. She is going to muuuuurder him. She already makes him hide one Mopar right behind house under tarp. Won’t let him work on stuff in drive, fertilizes lawn religiously you get the idea. She likes things neat and tidy with no beaters in drive let’s say. I went from sipping a toddy in my chair to an unwitting accomplice in what will, I am sure be called a felony when she beats him! Started as,.....you want to go look at a Duster with me, to hey how bout I just leave it in your race trailer for a bit. LMAO!

It depends on what year that 360 is...

91 was the last year of the "LA" 360... It will have roller lifters and you will be able to bolt on any LA 360 parts.... IE, LD340, early 340 exhaust manifolds, etc...

If it's 92 and later, then you have to go with Magnum parts... Intake etc...

My original would stick. Wore out/dirt in motor. A tap on it would get it started but sounded pretty crappy. Found a better one and replaced it. Maybe I will try to get the controls back together later today or tomorrow morning. Gonna be hot as hell in car right now

Motor runs real smooth. Great...2 speed. Old tech is something.... they used a resistor in the air stream for the two speeds...

Ugh got a message I’ve gotten far too many times. Yet another member of my old unit has passed away, post deployment. That makes at least 5 in the last year and one more who was murdered a few years back.

Sorry to hear... :(

Yep. Learned about those resistors when I had to do an emergency tear down. Heater box started smoking! :eek::wtf: Found it was packed full of leaves etc.

So true! Surprisingly that’s one thing on all my performance reviews in my entire life that I get heavy praise on. “Willingness to accept constructive criticism and work to correct mistakes” is always on my eval in some fashion.

I can believe that.... We criticize the **** out of you here and you take it well.... :D

Wow, you had us worried for sure. Good to hear you are heading in the right direction Karl. Praying for a smooth recovery.

I wasn't sure how serious it was when I posted Fri morning at 1:30 AM, but had the feeling that I needed to go to the hospital... Luckily I did, it saved my life...

My oldest son who lives with me gave me a huge hug after getting me home last night... He really missed me and was concerned about me...

The one that posted that I was going home yesterday (ValiantK360) is my youngest son who lives with his mom in NC... We talk every day or every other day normally... I'm waiting for him to come up here and visit us for the summer...

They are both great kids... I love them very much and glad that I didn't leave them yet...

And just like that we got Karl back! Woo Hoo! Man he has got some back reading. Hah! Welcome back guy, I think a Portellos would solve your recovery issues.

I've never had that Chocolate Cake Shake that Gabriel Iglesias talks about... I should try it sometime...

Need to run to town and get some fuel for the tractor and some gas for the mower and trimmer.
Then start on some other honey do's. Wife says the a/c in the Dakota is not cooling.

Don't fix the A/C in the Dakota.... Then she will be hot when she gets home and it will be easier to get her out of her clothes... :D

Well we just did something crazy. My brother and I went in together, bought us a saw mill. We gonna cut our own lumber. Bad news is, 42 week delivery time. Good news is it gives us a chance to get the logs cut down and drying.

Here's an interesting question/thought...

Now that I have had three blood transfusions... I have blood from three other people in me...

If I commit a crime and bleed on the scene, who will they go after???? One of the other three, me, or all 4 of us????

Do I have a window of opportunity here where I can kill somebody, bleed at the scene, and get away with it????

(I'm asking for a friend....) :D

Karl, while I can't comment on your question directly.
I've had some people tell me. If I found out you are a blood relative, then I want a transfusion.
