THE MECHANICALS

The engine is a good running, non-leaking 1973 318, 4 barrel that I removed from a 1970 Duster project car I purchased. I don't know when or if it has been rebuilt but it seems very clean. The 4 speed transmission and Mr Gasket shifter were also removed from the same 70 Duster. I also have a decent set of used headers with new gaskets. The clutch disk, pressure plate, and throwout bearing are new.

The rear end is an 8¾ non-sure grip. Gearing is unknown but I assume it's a stock 3.23. The four speed hump was removed from a 72 Duster and needs to be welded in. The rest of the parts to convert this car to a manual transmission have been gathered from here and there, and much of it has been media blasted and painted or was purchased new.

The steering column is a replacement for the original automatic transmission column shift one. The car is equipped with power steering. The power steering pump is included. There are drum brakes on all 4 wheels. They work well but their condition is unknown other than that.
