well after i let the car sit for 3 years..i finally got it done. just in time for the pittsburgh mopar race. i knew that the car would prolly go faster than 11.50s...so i had to slow it down due to no roll bar/cage. so i threw 110 lbs of weight in the car and disconnected the secondaries on the carb. first pass was 11.74. i was happy as heck! second pass was 11.64 and it stay right around there the rest of the day. well at the end of the day...my buddy got me a time pass...hooked up the secondaries...ditched the weight...launched at 3000 instead of 2000 and shifted at 6800 instead of 6000. the dang thing went 10.83 @ 122 mph! i couldnt believe it!

so heres a run down of the car.
70 duster-3300ish lbs.
360 small block cast crank
k1 rods with flat top srp pistons-11.5-1 comp.
ported eddy heads flowing 270 with harland sharps
racer brown 520 solid cam...forget the duration off hand
victor 340 intake-750 apd alky carb
904 trans and a 4500 stall 8 inch converter
4.30 pro gear with a 28 tall tire
3 inch exhaust into magnaflow straight thru mufflers dumping at the rear end

realistically the car is still a street car...just have to finish wiring the stock harness for lights and what not. now all i need to do is get a cage in the dang thing haha

Mike he has a 12 point laying in the garage that I bought him for Christmas but he changed his mind and wants chrome moly now.
He wants to keep the rear seat so we would have to make a couple of custom bars.

Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph

I had alot more fun when I use to run 10.0 ... none
of the chassis cert and all the added safety equipment...
if he doesnt want to run 9.99 or quicker he doesnt
need all that cage ....... JMO

Congrats on getting it up and running!! And I agree with Mike..No sense in having the hassle to go quicker than 10.0...

..............' the dang thing went 10.83 @ 122 mph! i couldnt believe it!"

Of course it did. It's got a Racer Brown cam! Be carefull w/ overrevving, the same thing that makes that cam run hard will help it to self destruct. (Agressive lobes) I believe max recomended rpm is around 6500. What rocker ratio(int & exh) you run w/that?


Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

I'd suggest selling the 8 point and using the fuds to do subframes and a custom fitted bar that will allow seating and pass for 10 point ohs.

haha chuck...that red eye was a -.004 thanks for the compliments...it was breaking up a little on that pass so i know theres more in it. its a stock cast crank motor..rocker ratio is 1.5 i believe on both ex and intake. i have a set of 1.6 ratios to try on the intakes tho. my plan is to sell the 10 point and go chromoly 12 point...leaving everything stock. i hate gutted out race cars lol so the back seat will be staying. why lose weight to go faster when all you have to do is build a good combination small block! future plans for the car is a 9 inch...leaving the caltracs tho cause it 60 footed a 1.46 on the 10 pass. tubular front end also...maybe a bondo bob piece! the car is on alcohol with an aeromotive a2000 pump and aeromotive regulator. hopefully i can get this thing in the winners cirlce being my only win came outta a chevy! lol any other questions..ill be more than happy to answer!

why lose weight to go faster when all you have to do is build a good combination small block!




Because a lighter car is easier on parts and you dont
have to spent big money on power

I think he planes to have it inspected soon Barry. He ran some 10.20's with that same engine on 93 octane last year in my Duster with a 727 trans but my car only weights 2500#. Hey Barry I took a ride past the old Nu Bee Dragstrip today. Hard to believe that 35 years ago I was racing my 72 Duster down those lanes.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
