It’s currently in theaters check your local listings. My Duster gets a lot of screen time and looks tough. Hope some of you can make it out to see it!

I did, he was around for 5 days. He and I talked airplanes. He was really nice and spoke to everyone, and when the town got word that he was around they flocked to where we were and Travolta stayed for hours shaking their hands and signing stuff for them long after filming ended. Everyone was...

There was a name change but the movie goes to theatre August 4th now named Mob Land. You can see the Duster a few times in the trailer, some other good cars too. Here is the trailer on IMDB: Mob Land (2023) | Action, Crime, Thriller

These numbers! You said in post 102 you didn’t want a “race engine” and wanted use pump gas, while using 3000lbs to calculate the needed power. I thought you were wanting to build something to run down there @ 10.99! Knowing now that isn’t the goal here; Yes, you could take a 2500lb car that...

125mph give or take and the wildest gear that can accomplish that is a 4.56... this is a request to run sub-7.0 in the eighth. 5.38+ gears and transbrake needed for that but will fail to make in another 660 feet before finding the rev limiter. This will only be accomplished with large port heads...

In my '69 Dart, I dialed in 9.00 and ran 9.02-3 (1/8th) every pass on my way to redlighting in the finals with a stock piston 318, stock 915s with 1.88/1.60s, RPM intake, Headers, MP474 Purpleshaft, and factory converter w/ 3.91s. I can't prove it now but I pretty sure a set of stock 302...

I'd have to send that stock converter off to be "loosened up" some. I'm certain it would buy you 2 tenths in the 60 foot and you can still call it a Stock converter. Furthermore it would have no negative side effects to the goal of your build.

Watching it now! You really did well! Congrats

My cam from Hughes is the "New" specifications that you've shown. However I bought it in 2015. I dynoed it in a 318 where it made 293 hp to the tires. That was with J- heads but otherwise similar set up as yours.

Still On for this, however the Track location has changed to Baileyton Dragstrip in Baileyton, Alabama.

Has anyone seen Magnum heads at work on a 273? I've looked but not seen a running example anywhere.... I'm about to do it just because its free and I don't care if grenade it or not....

Well it floated the valves at 5200 and is where the power peak was, its not together anymore but those heads with better springs pull way past that on my 340 now. It used the Hughes .491/.500 roller cam, out of the box RPM intake. I was using this infront of a 727 w/ 3500 shelf converter on a...

My KB167, 318 with less compression and ported J heads made 292.3 HP to the tire and ran the 1/8 in 8.35. So I assume you could be in that neighborhood.

that’s not my video… just sharing the info from the World Wide Web bud….

Not sure I'd call them special but I have only seen 714 casting heads on 1991 model 318s. Some debate can be had on the differences between them an 302 casting heads However, in one flow test I've seen they offered a rather healthy benefit over the strikingly similar 302... (about 8 minutes into...

I certainly wish R/T heads came on R/T Dakotas and Durangos I'd have 3 sets instead of 1! They should have.... but never did! There are 2 versions of them, which is really just valve size. Also, the previous head before going Magnum was the 714... similar but alittle better than the 302.

Yep, we have the other classes going on and the 318 cars can obviously join in on those. We just have an additional challenge for the 318s where we keep track of their combos, time slips, as well as Dyno numbers if they get on the mobile Dyno. just the one rule! Just ranking the best on...

The only rule of the class is that the block says 318 on the side… we allow 273s and 3.9s to play as well tho!

That’s me! Got a race coming up October 22nd it’s 1/8mile heads up in Alabama it’s called the #MoparVsBrandXstreetcarShowdown. That hashtag will get you to info on any social media and you can find it at my pages @RattyMuscleCars IG/FB/TicTock/YouTube. But in addition to the 3 classes of racing...

The ticket would have been to use two shortside axles from another junker in the yard, cut the long tube down, and center up the pumpkin in doing so. It would gain pretty much an inch of clearance on each side when installed. In Duster/Dart Sport the way you did it would be more than sufficient...

Magnum intake drilling plate project

I've ran LA Edelbrock heads on a Magnum block. I drilled into the back of the heads existing accessory hole and down the last rocker shaft hold down till they met in the middle, then made a "banjo" bolt and oiled the rockers like that with oil T'd from the sending unit port. There is more than...

Mine was the only Duster, it was used for all the shots. Shooting was wrapped up early this month in Alabama. There is a scene where a Chevy truck was used in a chase and after it crashed a Ford was burned in its place! I put Z71 on the side of it before they lit the fire with tape...

Here is the first official anything about the movie you will see my Duster in. 'American Metal': John Travolta-Led Movie Acquired By Saban Films

It not 100% but once it post to IMDB.com I’ll post it here.

I have hardly slept and worked every waking moment over the past week and a half to get my Duster to the film set of a new movie coming out! My 318 cracked over the winter (my fault) but it gave life to my trusty 340 and is in the car and made it to the set today! The other main car is my High...

I made this video last month and sat on it till today to post on YouTube, its my Duster going together for #318Fest last year. Hope you all can enjoy it and appreciate the production work! Enjoy! Also... please consider subscribing! @RattyMuscleCars

Thats a good runner! I speak 1/8mile mostly so do you have the speeds for that? You certainly need some converter speed, that 2.42 will keep you up at night! My 318 Duster that I told you on YouTube made 293hp to the tire cut a 1.74 using a 3500 stall. Ofcourse thats with a 4.56 but, ya know...

The Ratty Muscle Cars #MoparVsBrandXstreetcarShowdown is a race for 1999 and older cars/trucks. There is a mandatory 50 mile cruise for 2 of the 3 classes, classes are (Gladiator Street, Street Sweeper, and Bandit Street) I will answer any questions you have or you can simply type in that...

We might bring something, just see how everything falls.
