WIW All Original 74 Duster 360 4 Speed Car?

My car weighs 3550 with full tank and my big *** (215lbs) in it.
To be honest I read the article before I finished the car and the 14.60 time is what I was shooting for. I had tons of people telling me I was wasting my time ,they were slow, 360's are junk etc. When I ran 14.50 with a worn out motor I realized there were some seriously misinformed people out there.
