He's a picture of my 3rd race car a 1974 Duster and the very first tow vehicle that I could spend a night at the track and sleep in a bed. 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.
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27
