Today Jared finally brings the 1971 Plymouth Duster he set a world record with to take a look at all the damage he caused! Some of it by ignoring sound manufacture advice, and some by just not having enough time to get the car finished perfectly the first time around! Join him as he rebuilds the transmission, fixes the engine and corrects some major front end alignment issues!

And let's not forget a shoutout to Tremec for their aproach to the right to repair!
Duane, I know it's not your cup of tea, but that metal music time lapse really fit the mood.
Happy to move out of my comfort zone just for you :) - Duane the Editor
Thanks for mentioning Mental Health, Jared. Love ya even more now!
I love the solution for the clock on the dash, very creative!
My project car, a 1963-71 Triumph Vitesse 2-litre Straight 6 Convertible, was taken off the road in June 2012 for its 20 years since restoration service. However, life happened ! Then, minor maintenance became major maintenance, became minor upgrades, became major upgrades, several job changes later, I retired at the end of June 2023, and I've been working on it ever since! Now, after almost 50 weeks of work, she is almost completely done! The Target Show is in 2 days!
Good luck (and have fun)!!! :D
A friend of mine had a MkII Vitesse convertible back in the late 80s. It sounded epic with a Triumphtune exhaust. Enjoy it in good health!
Kudos my friend great projects and I’m sure you will enjoy it!
I have 4 projects currently. Well sort of.
1997 Dodge Viper GTS
1978 MG MGB (347 swap)
1991 Toyota Celica All-Trac
1985 Mustang (drivetrain for MGB)
Also, it was really cool meeting you and seeing this car at LS Fest.
With all those cables and you saying "hit the other side" I had The Doors "Get on through to the other side" in my ears.
Got my SC300 back! rebuilding the 1JZ
My project is a 1988 Mercury Cougar XR7. It sat for almost 6 years. I am now daily driving it 35 miles to work and back. Working out a few bugs along the way.
Good job Duane, that shaky camera during the trans teardown must have been a nightmare to try to stabilize.
Also, thanks for keeping the hard rock / metal flowing. 🤘😎🤘
Happy to help :). Thanks for watching! -Duane the Editor
Good old gearstick clutching power stuff 😎👍
My current project is watching you get through all those wires!
Working on my 72 El Camino
Tri-Hard sounds awesome with the MOPAR Hemi back under the hood. A nice postscript episode to round out the series. 👍
Not "Hemi", HEMI - all Capitals (Which is only a Mopar Trademark, as it's not a Real Hemi engine - the combustion chambers do not fully fit the definition)
@@gillesthibault429 I see. Thanks for the info on that.
Will we ever get to see you and Derek build that Ford Supervan?🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Keep rocking Duane!! 🤘🤘
Wow, That Coyote is such a WIDE engine
DOHC definitely adds some girth. I got a last gen V6 camry, and that is a honker of a motor. I swear each head is almost as big as the block.
That’s why I scored it low as a swap engine. It’s fantastic, just hard to fit into most holes!
@@TheQuestionableGarage That's what she said! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That hodgepodge of wiring was every car guys nightmare. Haha great content I’m glad to see Tri-hard again! Keep up the awesome work Jared!
Thanks! Will do!
I built two '68 Barracudas with 340 4 barrels, tremec 5 speeds with gear vendors over drive, and watts link suspension. I built them both for my unlimited license. They're 1500 HP. Next will be a 65 Corsa Corvair with Evening Orchid and a '68 Sport Satellite.
a steel door for table top with a hole for the door knob works real good
You have almost finished a worthy road car. Now you just need the finishing touches like wipers, horn, an am/fm radio, backup lights, turn signal and marker lights etc. It is not a drag car because you have put a superior chassis for making turns in it. It is a canyon carver, road course car, Long Haul driver and coast to coast event car. I like the vibe. Keep the finish as is. The interior is fine. Personally I'd drive the wheels off it this summer and take it to multiple events. It is the best calling card that you have for your channel. Thanks for the fine series so far on this car.
Hey Jared ! I have three different projects ! Working on a 66 Chevelle with 454 & turbo 400 trans.
Also working on a 70 Monte Carlo with a 350(202) heads with a power glide trans.
Also a 90 300 zed x twin turbo & I'm trying hard to keep my sanity 😅
1978 chevy 2 door Malibu, 496 5 speed 9 inch. And a easy diy alignment tip if you place 2 plastic grocery bags under each tire they are way easier to turn to set toe etc
When I get stuck/fighting me I go to bed at night. I wake up the next morning, just to all work out in the morning. Never fails.
If you don't talk to or sing to your car parts, are you really working?
My thoughts exactly 🤔
Doesn't everyone?
One must make prayers and offerings to the Machine Spirit, after all.
So I’m not crazy 😅
Me and my son had fun watching and talking to you at all 3 events.
I love it when Jared cant contain his smile when he puts his foot through the firewall with that Hemi! Have a great time whippin it!
I'm putting the motor back together for my seventy one ford pinto! High compression, pop up pistons, and a fresh cam after I blew the old one out...
Plymouth Duster are fun to drive
Thanks so much for mentioning taking care of your mental health! It’s so important and not mentioned nearly often enough. This is just another reason I love watching TQG!
And I definitely talk to my projects (parts, etc). Sometimes when they’re especially uncooperative I swear at them, but that’s normal….
Currently working on a lifted 3rd gen Camaro and struggling to wire a 4.3L in it and you’re over here making this wiring job look easy. Keep up the great work!
why on earth are you lifting a Camaro of any gen and then wasting your time on a V6 when you can easily dump a small block in it?
@@nickwarner8158 The Camaro was just a worthless roller so no point in restoring it and I pulled the drivetrain out my c10. Instead of scraping both I’m building this abomination.
The positivity at the end is very appreciated. Always. Also, I think this is the first time I actually understood the concept of Toe Values.
Carlisle Nationals is July 12-14, in Pennsylvania. Be cool to see you there!
The question do you talk to your parts? No, I swear at them and threaten them until I get them to do what I need. So I dont talk to them, I yell at them.
Also what projects am I working on?
A 1965 f100 with a 300 inline 6
A 1976 Fiat Spider 124
And a couple of motorcycles.
Well... Maybe, just maybe, IRL, not every single word of the way he "talked" to his parts is "RUclips-friendly". Some NSFW expletives MAY have been used...😂. BUT Huge Kudos to his patience and fabrication skills!
If a part is fighting me, I just tell it you are going in there no matter what so make it easy or hard does not matter but part you are going in. After that it usually goes right in.
My current project is scouring around for a reasonably priced old car to repair and enjoy. Prices are slowly coming down, seeing the same listings for $100 less every week.
Dang Allen sockets that make zero sense. And I’m working on a 1993 Full size Blazer and putting the whole power train from a 1999 K2500 suburban putting a 454/4L80E and 3/4 ton axles!
Gathering billet components & upgrade bits for a 6l80 rebuild.
Hey Jared! What is my project? One I mentioned in comments long ago. A very rare color optioned 5spd 2001 GTI GLX (VR6). Have had since 04. Been parked for years. Messed something up when rebuilt after rod bearing failure. Burn a lot of smoke. That plus my bought new 2015 triumph motorcycle engine issues had me give up on cars.
Took me a couple years to go and do valve seals. Didnt help, but kept motivated. Engine coming out soon once parts come in to re-ring it.
Then I fix the cylinder head for the Triumph.
I legit was hating cars and regretting ever getting into it. I didnt even go into my garage for over a year. But your channel and particularly trihard and answering some questions about Holley EFI systems has gotten the joy back.
When the GTI is back on the road, I will get you some pics to your media email listed. awithout your channel reminding me why I got into cars, I doubt I would have ever wrenched again.
Then this winter comes the 24v v6 chevette build!
I got up at 5am so I could watch this entire episode without interruptions! Absolutely amazing as always Gerard
Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Well, if that was me doing that transmission job, the whole audio of that part of the video would be one long beeeeeeep! Also, cool wheels.
We appreciate that you share it with us!
Now it’s time for a 408 stroker with aluminum heads and any manual transmission with at least four forward gears. 👍🏻👍🏻💯
Speaking of projects, weren't you suppose to have a rematch against PFI and the Freedom Civic? I started watching PFI Speed as a result of the video of the first race. You and Brent are physical opposites, but your characters, endless optimism and contagious smiles are extremely similar. What sold me on subscribing to this channel was your appreciative and emotional response to Tavarish's kindness towards you.
I need to get an engine back together so freedom civic and I can show down again! Really it’s just an excuse to hang out with brent
Love you Mr Pink, that was savage of you
My project is I'm looking for a 6.4 hemi and 8 speed to swap into my daily driver 1972 charger. Currently it's a 360 out of a 1970 with a 727
Reminds me of the GTR GR6 days !!
I agree everyone needs a Duster with a 7 litre hemi. I'd just like mine less rusty , with an interior 😂
I'm currently working on my 66 Studebaker Cruiser with a 71 350 in it and 66 Mercury Montclair with the stick 390 FE.... and I agree, all the torque to burn the tires! 😅
Seems those FEs just keep showing up at our shop. I think I can rebuild one in my sleep. I'm starting to like them. I also just made parts for a beautiful '49 Stude Comando.
Great job Jared! Also appreciate some of the shade tree techniques you mentioned when you tore down the trans. Enjoyed the technical stuff you covered as well.
When you were catastrophically tangled , i was like what am i watching, i couldn’t recognize your voice. 😂
Great sounding 71 Duster, good job putting the 7.0 motor back in her. trans seems to work great..
Currently I’m finishing a complete rewire on a friends 67 Chevelle, but my project is doing a motor swap into 68 f100. I’m taking my built and stroked Windsor out of my 94 bronco. And putting a stock 5.8 back in it cuz you know Ca. Problems 😢 and special smogs 😉 are hard to come by now and are $$$$.
I *love* the audio track Dwayne used around the 34:00 mark.
Working on preparing an 01 Mazda miata for trackdays, a fork seal leak on my 14 gsxr750 race bike, getting an 05 car 600 f4i running again after sitting for 2 years, and joining the work needed pile is my 20 triumph tiger rally pronthat burned up a clutch during my ride in the forest last weekend.
This is my favorite project. Also the world seems right with it being back mopar powered. I'd like to see it in person If I get the chance.
Looking at the exterior you would figure this to be a 225 slant six car or a V8 running on only 6 cylinders. But when you pop that hood MAN what a big surprise! I love any Duster or Demon but the sleepers really speak to me 😁😁👍🏻
I'm putting a power takeoff kit in my Chevy Bolt. It's not all that exciting, but it'll let me run my fridge and some lights for about three days in a power outage.
Jared's philosophy for disassembly: "When in doubt... Pound it out!"
My project is a 59 Ford 300, which I've not really touched since I bought it 5 or 6 years ago now. I've been depressed and directionless in a world that keeps changing the goal posts. I'm honestly considering just selling it, but I had some really cool ideas, maybe even making it electric one day depending on how the winds blow on that one, not looking so well if I'm being honest. It's Pepto Bismol pink and white, it was April green from the factory with a 282 V8, someone swapped it for a 429 Thunderbird engine, it has bucket seats with some weird telescoping height adjustment handle I still haven't figure out it's from, it has air bags in the rear, 54 ford hub caps, and just last year I found the missing rear window trim I needed since it was missing when I bought it. The real kicker though is that the throttle peddle is being held up by a screen door spring that's in hooked into the bottom of the dash. It is some of the most jury/jerry rigged shit I've ever seen
I had my car run but i tried to change cluster for one with rpm gauge but my current Starlet have different wiring them my old did and that didn't work out so now i have to take it back to old setup but currently i'm using my wife getting back from work travel as putting it away. 😅
Hi Jarred, you asked what we broke in a gearbox. My effort was the front input shaft missing 60% of it's teeth and the front gear of the lay shaft missing about the same amount. That was in an 1975 Holden Panelvan.(the same as a sedan delivery). I rebuilt it on the equivalent of the tail gate of your charger ute, and back in the car in 2 hours laying on my back outside a gas station repair shop. To check if it worked, we fired it up and backed it of the 6 house bricks we had under each front wishbone. It's maiden voyage after that was to tow a 22 foot trailer home from Sydney to Melbourne Australia about 650 miles. Oh to be young again!!
Currently working on a 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia that my father bought about 25 years ago. It was running back then but needed a lot of work, but unfortunately he never was able to get to it and fix it all up and it's been parked for 20 years. Now he's been diagnosed with ALS and I'm trying to get it back on the road while he can still see it happen. Gutted the interior which was rotten, just finished the suspension and brakes on all 4 corners and ran new brake and fuel lines. Still have a long way to go though! Very jealous of you lift right now.
The mental health note at the end was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks Jared, loved the series (finally understanding the American muscle scene now). Moment I'm out of work I'll get in my Mini and smile.
That duster is one of my favorite cars in your fleet! Good to see it running again I hope to get my car running again soon, but right now it’s not looking good. But like you said everyday has a sun rise
When you weld parts together that's when it's tough to take apart.
It's not technically a car project, but I'm slowly refreshing an old Toro Wheelhorse. It sat for a decade without running, and with just a small amount of tinkering, I got it to fire up very smoothly. Needs a lot still; belts, pulleys, tires, paint, bushings and so on, but it's lovely to drive this old thing around. Fun fact for you, if your manual transmission tractor won't turn over, check to see if there's a neutral switch. Engine won't start if that's disconnected.
Good on you for taking responsibility for the transmission. It shows good character. It would be easy to use your position to just get free parts and let them think it was a faulty transmission
ECU swap on a miata, hole in a transmission on an A3, rabbit is good just need it sold.
Back to working on my 2014 Chrysler 300S... Spark plugs threw a code after work... Glad no loss of power or running rich. Just random misfire p0300 code 😅.... I need to find better spark plugs... 🎉 😅
Like the wheels and hemi. Steering wheel needs upgrading, and fix that rear view mirror.
Current projects .....
2 73 Datsun 620s (restos)
an 88 Dakota (daily driver)
An 89 323 (fun little go cart)
91 Ranger (needs motor)
91 explorer (fuel pump)
91 cabriolet (2.0l/5spd swap)
92 accord (needs everything)
93 325i (high pressure oil leak)
96 ram v10 (thermostat housing)
99 jetta (tdi swap)
02 jetta (motor swap)
And yes i like the new wheels. They look so much better than those mulit spoke things.
I'm currently working on a 1964 Aston Martin DB5...
In 1/8th scale. 🤣
A partwork kit from Agora models.
That coyote should go in the marquis, from what I've read it uses the same mounts. 5 speed coyote panther sounds like fun to me.
The Coyote and LS were on loan from J&J...
The wheels look good no problem. I hope you fix the rest of that rust on that car though properly.
My projects are still dreams right now, but soon I'm looking to get something truck shaped for my sons.
Working on my L67 swapped 99 9c3 Lumina this week.
Hemi sounds rowdy! Well done!
thanks Jared!
Funny how small the interior is of that Duster. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
My project is a 72 Buick Riviera. Freshening up the engine and engine bay with new parts. Currently having to extract broken exhaust manifold studs from the block
Yeah, feeling pretty bad for my 2GR swap 5th gen Celica project RN, as it has been on hold for a few weeks. Between finances drying up, and my rent renewal coming up, (and the fact that I'm not supposed to be working on a car, let alone welding and cutting one to get the body fixed), I had to rush to throw as many body panels on her so she looks together, then hide her under a car cover so I don't lose yet ANOTHER place to rent due to this car😅 but, just as SOON as property management sends me the renewal forms it back to work! They have made me sweat a bit cause it's been a week and a half though.
"Has this ever happened to you?" - Yup.
Currently swapping an 07k 2.5 5-cylinder turbo into my 944.
Your Hemi needs a Whipple supercharger, stat.
thanks man, because of the closing words i am going out to install the pinion angle wedges my car has been needing so i can drive it
My project is currently my spine. Unfortunately it's not the duster down the road. 3 months off after fusion and 1 month back. I'm in more pain thar the last 65% of the time I was off. Wish me luck😅 and I hope you get ac this summer bud. Did the Mini Split people ever get with you?
Currently working on putting tremec t5 out of a 01 mustang for my 97 crown victoria.
thank you for making a video so I can show my friends the majority parts of a constant mesh manual gearbox!! not sure what kind of gearbox you would need to get good 8000rpm shifting, maybe triple cones at each gear. the basit Tremex 3550/tko/tkx gear thickness & weight has been around and is too heavy to want to shift/move at that rpm.
I am working restoring a 1986 John Deere 160 garden tractor with my son and also building a trailer to tow it around in
Nah mate, nothing a little out of shape here. Just totally munted, guess you won’t be doing that again in a hurry. Great job Jarred keep it up mate.
Working on a Boxster motor swap !!
My "project" is a 66 Falcon, but today I was working on the front suspension in a 67 Mustang. Next will be an engine swap in a 66 Impala. Then, maybe a 68 Fargo or a 65 Merc truck. BTW, the trany failure wasn't user error. It was quite intentional. Sorry if I offend you (it's your car not mine) but I think those rims suck...on any car, and especially on something that old.
It's OK if it isn't as fast with the Hemi, more torque down low is always a good thing and I've always thought that the Ford modular engine series was too big and complicated for me to really get enthusiastic over. Besides, brand specific power trains are just cooler.
Id love to build another vehicle not sure what but money is tite right now for a small town handyman. I'd also want try to rebuild a transmission someday just to see how its done.
Hi Jared you should put the duster on the pikes beak run
Will you add a rudimentary interior at some point? Nothing crazy but maybe a gauge cluster or something might be nice.
Gauge cluster and something to seal the trunk off. I might add carpet to knock down the noise a little bit.
ahh, All Is Right in the World now that TriHard has her Permanent stroker HEMI back where it belongs! and I love that the Long Term Plan is to have her as a dedicated AutoCross and Mountain Carver!
Current project is a 2007 wrangler with a bad cam and tipm. Yaaaaay.....
Current project is trying to graft an aftermarket backup cam into my kids ford fiesta and forscan it to appear factory. The video quality is crappy, so I’m chasing gremlins. Next is a revival of my 30 year old truck that has sat for 10 years, for the other kid.
