Another thought: I just spent alot of time, and money, converting my 74 Duster to a V-8. My brother commented "when you get a real car you can show me something" implying that a 1974 is not a real muscle car. A lot of people think muscle cars have to be older than 1971/1972 at the latest. All I know is when I turned the key and fired up my new motor it was a great feeling and I am very happy.
