What dealership do you work at? I used to work at Penn Brothers Chrysler Plymouth Saab back in 75 before I moved down here. Probably not even there anymore I would imagine. We used to live not far from Doug Griffith CP when it was on Harford Rd. right by the beltway. It's been a tremendously...

And all I can say is WOW! Remember I have a mid ten second race car and this thing was still a rush. Ma Mopar ain't made a car that ran like that in 30 years, and never made a car that handled and stopped as well also. I'm impressed.

I might add that I don't think 450 horsepower will get you in the 10's unless you are considering a 200 shot of nitrous.

To be totally honest I have no idea. I know I've bought several intake manifolds, cylinder heads, camshafts, torque converters and gear sets because I didn't have anyone to ask questions of. I do know I've spent over $30K on the car. Although I believe you could probably duplicate it for around...

You'll also have to have metal valve stems, the rubber ones will not pass below 11.99. The belts can't be more than 2 years old either. You can use a tranny blanket as fitting a shield under the stock tunnel is a PITA. I did it but had to space the shield down with aluminum blocks 1 inch. You...

It's getting impossible to find a job in my field that doesn't require working Saturdays. Fortunetly I was able to find one in a slightly different (heavy truck repair instead of auto repair) industry that I ain't giving up any time soon. I have to work 4pm to midnight though, but I consider...

I'm telling you guys this thing was sick. Twin turbo's on a Indy headed BB. Electronic fuel injection (smelled like alcohol) with two injectors for each cylinder. Full tube car that should run in the 7's. I wish I had my camera, you just don't see stuff like this enough in the Mopar world. Wish...

2 weeks? You could have another cable Tuesday if you order it from Summit and ship it overnight. I suspect though that where you're located 2 days would be normal shipping.

Sorry to hear of your troubles Mike and I wish your mom the best. Working on my car has been my solace when times are tough. When my mother died I spent about 6 months straight in the garage working on the car. I had a lot of unresolved issues with her and the time spent there alone helped me...

Well yes but I'm pretty sure my son (scamp73) wants them for his car. If not I'll let you know. I would be selling the whole package though as I have the monoleaf springs, hangers and adjustable shocks to go with the bars.

I ain't apologizing just that I know how opinionated some of the resto crowd can be. Yeah it's my car and I can do what I want, and I will. I've got an 11.5 / 29.5 tire in there now with CalTracs. I can't see putting a 14 inch anything in there though. Keep in mind that I run at a track that...

Some of you may hate me for this but I've made up my mind. My car is an original 72 340 4 speed low option car. It was in really rough shape when I got it with no numbers matching anything and a body that had been hit hard several times. I didn't feel too bad about mini tubbing it, moving the...

Good job. I prefer to go rat hunting with a small block LA.

One of the funniest things I've seen was when I had my Duster at a cruise in type car show on the street In New Smyrna Beach. I drove my car on the street then, it was plain white and ran 11.70's just like I drove it. I was parked next to a black 67,68,69 Camaro and there was it's nearly...

i would just go carbed, just get the best engine and swap a carb. intake, i wouldn't use that fuel injection, only later magnum style. steve

You can also use ARP assembly lube on the cam lobes and lifter face. It's a moly based lubricant that can handle extreme pressure. I'd use this instead of the EOS stuff if I had a choice.

I can tell you what I did to mine though before it ever ran. I bolted one of my heads on it with my cam and determined the amount of non existent piston to valve clearance. I pulled all the pistons, obtained a spare and cut it up to see how deep I could cut valve reliefs. Ended up with about...

Well my 904 has withstood my W5 head 360. Supposedly (and I aint saying it's even remotely accurate) the engine calculator programs put my engines horsepower number around 560.

Man, talk about leaving us hanging. We demand closure! :D:

Is this have or had? 1 A body, my Duster 1 3500 Club Cab dually 1 Dakota Club Cab V8 There's another A body here though that my son owns. A 73 Scamp.

Very nice job. Good work, it looks fantastic.

I agree, looks great but I don't think it's going to make my car any quicker or more consistant. Now if it was a belt drive at that price I'd be all over it like white on rice.

Cool, can I make a suggestion though? You shouldn 't rev the crap out of the engine when it's cold, build up some heat first or you're liable to be replacing a head gasket. Sounds good though.

First race of the season last night. I went out 5th round which was the quarter finals. Man there was a lot of cars there. Car was extremely consistent all evening from 10.88 to 10.83. I fell asleep at the light 5th round and some kid in a 16 second Pontiac front wheel driver ran dead on his...

My boss brought his Hemi 2500 4WD to the strip the other day when I went. 16.43 to my Dusters 10.90. :D

I'd be surprised if Summit would actually do anything. After all they are only a retailer, they don't make them. Now Hoosier on the other hand should be willing to cut some off the price of a new pair for you. I had an odd problem with a set of M/T ET slicks once, ran them all season but they...

Well, without being able to inspect the whole engine it's going to be hard to determine what the cause was, and more importantly how to not do it again. However, my guess would be that the cam and lifters weren't properly broken in. This caused a lot of cast iron particles to go through the...

Well the kid came home with a 69 Datsun 1600 Roadster yesterday. It's been restored but then was in a fender bender. It's been sitting for a couple years and it blew the head gasket on the way home. So I guess I'll be helping with that while trying to get my own car ready to start racing again...
