Duster Breaks FAST Small Block Record

My 73 340 4sp Dart Sport ran high 12 in FAST form and I drove it from Idaho to Brainard MN and back .
The key to success is in picking a platform that came from the factory with wide tires , good intake / carbs , light weight , decent exhaust manifolds etc .

Corvettes kick *** because of available engines , wide tires , independent suspension and low weight .

An AAR Cuda would be perfect because of the T/A heads , shorter wheelbase , staggered tires size ( G60-15 rears IIRC) , fresh air hoods and reasonable weight .

Some criteria in FAST is biased .
They won’t allow early Max Wedge cars to run 3” head pipes and uncap the dumps ….
We started with Dad's AAR. Got to 11.5's with almost zero weight reduction and had no interest in putting a bar in it so built the duster. At one point we did an a-b test at the track and threw the six pack on the duster and it picked up 3mph over the thermoquad.
