318 power?

I agree... but keep in mind if say restoring a 71 340 Duster to stock specs it wont be fast by todays standards. it wont beat a late model vette or challenger same with a stock fox body, but yes they will be alot of fun on the street. Definitely the cool factor new challengers are everywhere, nice 340 dusters I don't see every day any more. However it doesn't matter unless you are racing, alot of guys are race minded but not alot actually race. I am a resto guy really, I like a nice street car that I can take to the strip, I don't want to take the back seat out of it and install a roll bar necessarily. I also like ripping it at top speed in my Fox body on the highway and out running soccer mom in minivans,thats where the 2 73 rear comes in handy. :)
