'70 duster
im looking at a 1970 duster, it runs still, has 101k on the motor the up side that its in good condition and is going for 900 the downside is the motor is a v6, i know very little about plymouth so i was wondering the tolerances for the transmission, if i got the car besides minor tune up work i would want to drop in a v8, will the origional tranny handle the torque and hp? thanks for the help, also how hard is it to do a swap on these cars? thanks for the help

Re: '70 duster
You've got a /6 (slant 6) in there. Whether the trans will survive depends on which V-8 you swap to and how much hp the V-8 has. Your rear axle will probably go first anyway. Also, /6's are just getting started at 100k miles. Very strong and very dependable motors. For the swap you'll need either a V-8 k-frame or Schumacher Creative Services makes engine conversion kits to swap any Mopar engine into any Mopar.
