Thanks heaps! Nearly there with the old girl. Just need to get engine tuned and should be right.. Got a few little things I need to do first like change alternator brackets, add temp switch, change tranny pan gasket and ECU module and then ready for tune... I'm bloody hanging to drive it...

Hey Pana!
When are you going to bring that beast over?
I promise I will tie all the Mustangs together in the corner of my shop while I am tuning it....:rol:

Don't laugh mate as there was a really late model of the Plymouth Duster called a 'Feather Duster' and 'Gold Duster'.. Too much Cheech and Chong in the 70's I reckon...

In 73 they had a fold down rear seat model called a Space Duster.

Hey Mate, quick question as well. I've got Sure Grip Centre I want to get put into the car. My diff is an 8.25 10 Bolt Chrysler and I've had new 3.55:1 gears put in and all new bearings etc.. Just need to get the Sure Grip put in. Can you recommend anyone to install and set backlash??

I use Sydney Competition Warehouse, ph: 9891 5088. Talk to James, he has done a few Mopar diffs for us, his work is excellent and cheap.
It should be an 8.75 not an 8.25. If it is then you can just pull the axles out and pop the whole center out like a Ford 9 inch.
I am happy to do it for you if you do not want to get dirty. :rub:

Cheers, Chris.

Hey Chris, nah, it's an 8 1/4.. Some of the small block Duster's and Dart's had 7 1/4 and 8 1/4 differentials. The 8.25 as my Duster has is a pretty decent diff and can take a bit of punishment...
