| I am looking at buying a 74 plymouth duster. It is run down kind of bad so i am looking at restoring it. i have to replace the back window and 95% of the interior. I am looking at putting a good engine in it. Was is the biggest engine i can put in it. Some one told me a V8 small block is that true or can i get a bigger one?

The Duster was the Plymouth equivalent of the Dodge Dart/Demon. I
believe it could be had from the factory with either the 318 or 340 V8,
in addition to the slant 6. I am sure that big blocks were put in them
too, with special modification.
If it currently has a six, you will probably need a different "K"
member to accomodate a small V-8.
