318 build #2 "cost minded" for the '74 Duster

the op has posted his time slips and videos just because you have the slowest v8 mopar at 3100 lbs on the planet doesnt mean much
not really you should know 18 seconds is so slow for 3100 lbs you shoudnt even mention it unless 4 plug wires are crossed
@3300 lbs 18 flat is 129hp or 110 rwhp
74 360 duster 15.2 stock
68 318 2 barrel 16.eom
you're talking about a basically bone stock 360 with a gasket kit, headers that i found in a barn, an old 4 barrel intake, an old but good edelbrock carb and heads that i spent about 3 minutes cleaning up casting flaws on with a wide ratio 4 speed and 3.23 gears. Why in the hell do you think we swiss cheese and cut as much weight as possible. It was the equivalent of David Freiburgers Cheap Thrills Dart. You are really really really reallyyyyyyyyy arguing that 2.94 gears on a budget 318 will put it in the high 13s lol
