Is There Value in Making a 'Clone'.

I have a 408 Duster clone with manual reverse valve body and a Dana with disc brakes. Or is it a tribute, or...

Either way, it is much faster than the original 340, stops much faster, and handles much better - 17" wheels, performance radials, 1.0" torsion bars, and SS springs. Oh, and it sounds awesome with the 3" exhaust.

That being said, you know what the #1 question I get is? "Is it an original 340 car?" followed by "does it still have the 340 in it?"

I intentionally set the 340 aside in case I blew the stroker, but now I wish I would have just kept in in there!

I did pay a little more for mine since it was a #'s matching car, and I like knowing it is. It does not make it a better or more valuable car (arguably LESS valuable) than a 340 clone, but it sells for more.

this is predicated on Value = Benefit/Price
