73 duster upgrade
Ok i just now am getting money coming in so i thought i would start to rebuild my duster. so i was wondering how hard it would be to convert the slant 6 to a 502 chevy with a blower on it to hopefully to get 100hp. or if its to much work to do that. if it would take a long time it doesn't bother me but i would like to know if its possible and if someone knows a forum that someone that has done it and posted it

that would b e a seriously difficult swap due to the location of the steering linkage, the width of the chevy and the hedders and the shape of the chevy oil pan. I'd find a 400 mopar and stroke it. It would fit much easier and its been done many times over.
Someone on THIS forum may be able to help you with a MOPAR swap.

For the money you would spend on a 502 conversion, you could very easily build a 512" 400 stroker. Since 400 engines are easy to find ( I bought three in the last year for less than $750 ) you can spend a few thousand and have over 500 CID, aluminum heads, and probably well over 750 lbs of Torque. I'm not sure how much I'll end up spending on my stroker motor, but in the end, it will be well worth it.
