Check my post, I changed it. I think the poor guy was had.

 

The only danger I can get in currently is finding a (real) 35th, a transformers edition, or hot wheels edition. I don't have enough faith in GM to buy a new one. Although I have spent too much time looking around for the new GT350s, a customer has one and one drove by me a few days ago, they sound amazing.

I took her drag racing this weekend (even tho it's a lapping day car for road course, I couldn't resist) - pic with drag radials in the staging lanes

 

 

Pics with road/track wheels and NT01s..

 

She'll be coming apart for the winter this weekend...

Plan/To-do list includes...

• Removing rotofab intake
• Remove ported intake manifold and tb - replace with stock
• install ECS1500 supercharger
• tune
• rear seat delete
• driver's side harness

[RideZX6R]

it only ran a 12.1x @116 on a 1.98 60ft - It easily has an 11.8x in it but I hadn't raced the car at the drag strip before so I wasn't dialed in enough as a driver to get it there.

I live vicariously through my buddy, lol .... 

He's picking up his '11 Camaro tomorrow from Jannetty Racing. More stuff done to it. Was already 700HP at the rear wheels  ... who knows what it is now!

This guy here has the exact same setup as him, except my buddy has the 6-speed and runs pump gas: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=438754

Should be a pretty nutty ride!

I love the sound of it.

nice Duster Ed, the Plymouth Duster/Dodge Demon with the 340 (especially with the 6pak) were definitely the sleepers of the Mopar lineup in that day, might have even been quicker than a Charger with the 383.

Duster looks good. I cleaned mine the other day. And today I may have just traded it. I've been itching to get out of Muscle cars for a while and found a guy with a 1950 Ford Tudor that has been wanting a muscle cars. So we may be doing a straight swap. The 50's cruisers are more my style anyway.

Thanks for the compliment.  Mine definitely isn't a sleeper.  As you can see it's old school modified.   Centerline wheels with 28x10.5x15 BFG drag radials out back and Mickey Thompson skinnies up front. 

The engine is a somewhat modified 340 with J heads, Crower cam, Edelbrock intake, Holley 650 double pumper carb, Hooker headers with Flowmaster mufflers. 

The transmission is a four speed going to a 8 3/4 rear end with 4.10 gears.   

It's a pain in the ass to get in and out of these days with the 6 point roll bar.  I must be getting old.  Not too practical for me to drive anymore but I don't want to sell it...

[garagerog]

Roll cage, well that in of itself, along with the engine mods and gearing tells me that Duster is NHRA fast!  Hear you about not wanting to sell your car, I have a 71 Chevelle SS that I've owned since new (yeah, I'm that old) sitting covered in the garage, 2nd wife calls it a white elephant and wants me to sell it, I suspect she doesn't like the memories my first wife and I made in it.

Too cool for school.  

 

I used to to work at Mullen & Company, a small head porting shop in California that had the contract to port all the Direct Connection heads in the mid 70s.  I was the machinist and did a lot of Super Stock “cheating”  tricks to the 340 heads.

After high school I wanted to put a 440 in it.   But at that time it was too much work for me.   Having it parked and working on it in my parent's driveway was a bit challenging.   My mom used to yell at me for having old car parts lying around the yard and having dirty hands all the time.   

It's always strange looking back and thinking what the car could have been.   A friend of a friend had a built 440 for sale.  I didn't want to get involved with custom motor mounts and custom fenderwell headers.  The stance wouldn't have looked right either.  I remember with fenderwell headers I would have had to crank up the torsion bars to raise the front end to prevent the exhaust from hitting the ground....

I'm sure it would have been somewhat quicker though.  ?
