Fat chicks are like mopeds, they are both fun to ride until your friends find out!

Come on Yuri, I know you're out there somewhere...

I like mine topless...

It is an 89 with 75K miles, custom interior, some motor mods, headers etc.

I'm building a motor for a car I do not yet own, and have no idea what it will be going in to but oh is it going to be fast.

I took the motor out of a school bus I bought at auction for 150 bucks, pulled the motor and sold the shell for 150 bucks. Nice deal huh?

I have had the machine work done and it now has a stroker crank, rods and pistons for a new displacement of 408 CI vs the 351 it started with. I have new aluminum heads and will be installing a blower from a Lightning pick up as soon as I can get the cash.

I am aiming for 550 HP and 525 lb/ft using a remapped ECU.

Whatever it goes in to is going to scream.....

Cheers,

That's great Orfy! It looks like most are left hand drive. Are any of them right hand?
I bet left hand drive is a PITA over there.

 

[Orfy]

They'll all be lhd, that's one of the reasons they (used to) go for reasonable amounts. Part's are a pain. These all look fairly original.

OOOOOhhhhhhh. Sorry, I've got to go change my shorts now.

I think the Duster would be a cool project. You don't see many around anymore and I would think they're extremely rare in the UK.
