Duster rebuild

I am new to the forums. I have a few questions. I have a 74 Gold Duster that was stripped of alot of parts prior to my possession. The questions I have are about parts interchange. I have located a 72 4 door Dart. The Dart is v8 where as the Duster is a slant 6. Will the k frames and the instrument clusters interchange?

The K frame will if your going to swap the /6 into it as well. If you need a K frame for the car and you want to keep the 318 you need the V8 K frame. Gage cluster shouldn't be a problem.
The only problem you might run into on the K frame is motor mounts there were two different types.

Thanks for the info. The donor car is the v8. The duster(one I'm building ) is a slant 6 car. Sounds like the complete running 4 door donor is what I need to build the duster. I want to build the duster into v8 car.

Looks like I got it backwards...I'm glad it's going to work for you.
