Project Demon Spawn: the rebirth of my 70' Duster-efi, 408ci, t56, dana 60

[ALLstrokedOUT]

Michael, i dont think that theres enough material; i havnt seen anyone do that on the retrofits that ive seen. Im welding bungs in mine.

Well it doesnt look like much, but heres what i got done today: I cut the transmission crossmember out and welded in the new, i accidentally made it about 1" wider on each side at the base than the dusters, but that wont hurt anything. I cut the hydroboost mount up to start fitting it to the firewall, i really want to run it upside down to hide the lines, and get a lot more valve cover clearance. To do this id have to cut up the firewall a bit more, but it'd be worth it in the long run; I still have to see how the pedal to hydroboost linkage looks too.






EDIT: Bit of work on the transmission tunnel. I wanted to re-use the back portion of the tunnel from the duster, but i realized that the accident twisted and bent/buckled the tunnel in 3 different places. I also looked at the hydroboost a bit on the demons pedal assembly, It slightly interferes with the 1/2" angle iron bracing of the assembly. I currently see no reason to make a spacer (if i did itd be under 3/8") it should just bolt in, and use the Astro vans linkage even.
