We're throwing the old slow 360 back in the Duster to have some fun until a plan comes together. Prob is the engine is in SoDak, and the car is in AZ. Going to take some creativity to get the two together. Planning on being back in action in 2013. Want to hit the March Meet again!!

Hope to make it to the track in April this coming year but not sure. Ron Last edited by 383man; 10/23/12 03:38 AM.

Now I have a pair of MW ported Victors sitting on a shelf. I need a new intake,springs, and rockers plus all of the little stuff that goes with it!! Do the math,it will be pretty expensive!! Unless I can win the lottery or find a real job,things ain't looking too good for next year. But I would never sell my car...It means too much to me!! Need your rear end checked out?

We just got our first cold front of the fall, it's 85 today! I plan to race till May. As for changes I installed new Wilwood rear drag brakes on the Dart and took the 14year old brakes off. Quite remarkably I never touched the rear pads in the 12 years I've owned the car!! 7431990-Picture013.jpg (21 downloads)

I am tearing the car down completely, re-powder coating it as the original from 4 1/2 years ago from Yancer is rusting underneath. It's a big job and pi$$e$ me off no end that I have to do it, but it's getting bad. I'm glad I have good friends to help. Also going to a new combo next year, either 540 B1/MC, or the upgraded 604 Predator. We can make the car right and I'll be back to MATS at the latest. I hope to tickle the 6's next year.

Have the engine out now to check bearings, swap the 620 cam for a 590, repaint engine and detail engine compartment. I also want to do something to improve the look of the headers. 7432774-100_2465.JPG (21 downloads) '74 Duster 440 '04 Hemi Quad Cab Ram '06 Pacifica '78 MGB

Ran my D150 at a 14.00 and slower /street tire race last Saturday and Won the class. Maybe a Gamblers race or two with the Dart and going to a pickup truck race at Atco Nov.24th, most tracks close the weekend before Turkey Day here.

Unless I can manage to pull off the Division Super Street title at the last divisonal next weekend. Slim chance, but I am 31 points out of first now and hoping for the best.
