So, waiting to get some pushrods as of now, then I will install those, along with the valve covers, and paint the engine. Once dried (of course) I will install the intake manifold and seal it up till the transmission is done and the car is ready...hopefully won't be too long

Comp, Cam, Head flow, Etc.. THANKS!!! 
Compression ratio is 10.49:1. Heads were cc'ed at 64cc's, and the head gasket I am using is a Fel-Pro Z1008 (.039" compressed thickness). My pistons weighed in at 579.5g, rods were 428.5g (big end) and 165.5g (small end). Hoping to run pump gas but I might not even take my chances. 
Cam is a Comp Cams piece, FL 7131 lobe both intake and exhaust. Duration@.050 is 242 and @.200 it is 157. Lobe lift is .360 and with the 1.5 rockers I have the valve lift is .540 at zero lash. LSA is 104 installed.
Heads are 587s. Milodon stainless 3/8" valves with 987 Comp springs (121lb on the seat, 343lb open). They flow about 275cfm maybe a tad more. Vic will be able to tell you more about them, I know that when the ports were roughed in they were sitting at 274cfm.
Intake is an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap and the carburetor is a Holley 825cfm with a Proform main body & baseplate that I got from Keith Dunnuck.
The fuel pump has been blocked off and I will be running a Mallory Comp Series 140 pump I bought off of Myron.
Transmission is an A833 4 speed with an Hurst Indy short throw I bought off of Jeff Patterson. I am wanting to faceplate a couple of gears on it. I already have the flywheel and pressure plate, but need to get the clutch still.
Rear is an 8 3/4 with 742 case. Rebuilt the clutch-type posi unit myself, put 3.91 gears in it (highway gears to Vic  ), and bought some high strength alloy axles with green bearings and 3" studs from Dr. Diff.
I scored me some heavy gauge welding wire (#2 maybe? I would have to check) and I am moving the battery to the trunk. Thinking about minitubbing the Duster but I may not want to deal with that. I have an aluminum radiator that I bought and fabbed a couple mounting ears on it just like factory, and I have an electric fan. So the only thing that will be draggin the engine down is the alternator (I have manual steering forgot to mention).
I think that about covers it all. If you want to know something else PLEASE POST!! I really appreciate the interest guys, though I know this isn't really that new and exotic as most guys out there. I am flattered some are still interested. Any thoughts about anything too feel free!

You're welcome! Glad to post! I will eventually have more as I progress with the project. I will bump it when I get it going for maybe a sound/video clip and some time slips, maybe a dyno run we will see. Hopefully not too far down the road.
