How many CURRENT owners of real '74 360 Duster 4 speed cars on here?
So I researched power numbers, and I would say the 360 Duster in 1974 was the most powerful Duster ever! I compared gross and net horsepower numbers on various engines. Example: I found the change on a 318 from 1971 to 1973 was 80 hp (230 to 150.) The engines had identical compression and 2 bbl carbs. So if we add 80hp to the 360 Dusters net rating of 245 hp, we get 325 hp- making it even more powerful than the famous 340 (275 hp gross.) And everyone knows the 360 has more torque.
