Not suspension struts, just struts that keep the corners of Nova fenders from vibrating. Made them out of brake line tubing. I may be a cheater, but I'm not stoopit. I have a set of aluminum strut bars that have been powdercoated but yet to put them in. It will be part of my Jenny Craig exercise this winter.
HEMI-ITIS has no cure.
My condition is fully BLOWN!!

Coming up on seven years for this thread. What would it take to get it in the "best of" or tech archives just to make sure it stays visible?

We saw him and his car a few weeks ago in Brooklyn, he's good. Can't speak to why he left here but I hope he comes back at some point.

MAGNESIUM WATER PUMP HOUSING ! I got a quote from one of the largest mag casting operations in the states ...... IIRC .... minimum order 300 ... cost 125$ each .... There is NO WAY the market would support that ...very MINIMAL weight savings over the aluminum piece AND add to that the huge cost diff.... I’ve seen the aluminum piece on eBay for as low as 36 beans EACH

Since this thread is coming back up does anyone have any en-lightening new ideas?
I have been a minor player in this thread but as for me, I have not touched my Duster going on 2 1/2 years. Lots of life stuff happened since I last messed with it. It's in storage waiting until a few things fall into place which hopefully will be sooner than later. Currently its an iron headed 416" with a 904 but have been contemplating putting an aluminum headed low deck in it. Need to get it running first so maybe the big block swap will happen sometime down the road.
In the meantime I have been working on my '68 Coronet which is being built as a street cruiser. Nothing lightweight about it and probably adding more weight than removing. No plans to break any land speed records or set low ETs with it so is what it is.
Let's keep the thread alive, these lightening techniques and ideas can help anyone looking for more performance.
