Its my old 1976 dodge van that came with a 318 which I replaced with a 360 I built wild a 474 lift purple shaft cam lD4B intake, a set of 2.02 heads I massaged, headers, and a 650 carb. Back when an open trailer replaced a tow bar and life was simpler. The Duster ran a best of 9.82 with a .030 over 440 (NA), 750 roller cam, 906 heads, weiand tunnel ram with two 750 carbs, trw pistons, and super stock springs. Sweet car and combo...........Love the van as well! I would be proud to have either one of them today Thanks for sharing Curator at Adams County Speed Shop

There isn't to much in my life I would change and even now as I'm getting older (58) I still love racing and testing. I've never been the best driver on race day but I love testing and getting the most out of any given combo. My Son Matt is a way better driver but I tried to get him interested in porting heads and intakes but he has zero interest. But at 23 he did measure, mic, an assemble his own 360 (I did the heads) and he went out and ran some nice 10.50's so he can handle that part well. I hate paying someone for something i can learn to do myself. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

STRIPPED Man that's a bummer to hear about your van and guns getting stolen. At least you didn't let it ruin your hunting trip. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time
