The Great Pumpkin - '71 Duster

clinteg said

I can testify that a 416 W2 motor will flat out run. Took mine out for the first time to the track earlier this month and ran high 10's without even tuning it. It runs better than my buddies' 512 eddy headed challenger. Not bragging or boasting but just telling you that combo in an A Body will move!

I replied to your post and yes, that things hauls ***! Very impressive for a first outing.

Have you driven it on the street? Driving my car on the street was fine and around town, the 4.30 gears that I had before were fun. Putting the 4.10 gear in made it somewhat reasonable on the highway.

What is your support team like - gears, converter etc. As I stated previously, I'll probably be getting a new converter. It will be a no-brainer since the block will be coming out. I know you have a 4 link type chassis, I have stock suspension with Caltracs.
