You're the one who mentioned the "swap" word first, in your opening post.
The duke will be fine for your son. I enjoyed driving my '84 (with a transplanted 5-spd). Heck I even autocrossed it for a couple of years. What several of us are warning you about is throwing money at a duke and perhaps expecting too much of a
performance return on your investment. Remember, a bone stock 2.8 is 140 HP... and it's very doubtful you'll get a re-worked duke to run
reliably at anywhere near that output.
