Alex's 1970 Duster Build Ep. 1: 383 Mopar Engine Rebuild

Alex has owned a very rad 1970 Plymouth Duster 3 on the tree slant 6 Lemon Twist carpet delete car but wanted to turn it into a big block monster! We take the 383 big block passed down from her dad to rebuild it at her Grandpa Roger's shop. We have assembled the dream Mopar team and will have this car ready in no time (or so we hope). Roger has been machining and building hotrods for 50 years and we are also learning so much from him along the way. There is a big surprise in store for Alex...one I didn't even foresee. Watch to see what happens!
This is a multi-part series and future episodes will be edited in our free time during the build, thanks for watching!!

I enjoyed the episode and subbed as I am anxious to see the build. Alex has a cool grandfather. That was certainly a nice surprise for her.

Can't say it any better than that if your going to have fun you might as well have a lot of fun....440 ..

[@FanelliRestorations]

Exactly!! Haha

[@brettfidler9864]

I think all 383s have forged steel cranks

[@FanelliRestorations]

I believe you are correct! I didn't know for sure at the time.

[@wasabicars]

First time viewer, and first time commenter. Digging the Mopar content. I really enjoyed this video.

[@timbrwolf1121]

I have a 383 bare block that I am going to stroke to 496 cubes with the 440source kit. Then its going in my 95 dakota.

[@tonywinton7949]

Did you get rid of your 383

[@FanelliRestorations]

Nope we’re keeping it for a rainy day!

[@voodoochild661]

It’s a Chrysler they’re try so the intakes don’t get stuck

[@ericrichter9068]

Technically its an air pump

[@shannongearhart1394]

Have a 440 out of a 69 charger for sale if interested

[@8790176]
