I inherited a 73 plymouth duster with only 88,000 original miles. It has a snake skin top, black paint with no obvious rust, and nearly mint condition interior. It sat in a barn for 14 years and I pulled it out, put a fuel pump on it and it cranked. I replaced all the rubber on the motor and a few other things. I put about 4000 miles on it and my motor locked up. So now do i rebuild the slant 6 in it and keep numbers matching or would it be okay to swap to a v8 like a 360? Oh and I would like to keep the air conditioner in it.

Sure a 360 swaps right in with the proper mounting brackets.

Call shumacher or just change the K member for a v8 one.
