Thanks for the kind words,Nick! Yeah...with ALL those window stickers,"OLD SCHOOL" definately comes to mind! My 35yr. old step-son hates them! You never know..but if someone comes up with a car that catches my eye,and they're wanting a good running GTX...something just might transpire! Thanks again!

Just throw a stroker crank in the block, a hyd roller cam, and you can make the GTX into a mid 10 second street car fairly easy. Would still run on pump gas, and be low maintence. B bodies running mid 10's is cooler then a A body running 10's IMO.

Jeff...excellent point! I have a LOT of thinking to do over this idea! No one with a Duster..or Demon,has made an offer yet! Jeff,would you have a "ball park" figure,as to what my GTX might be worth? I haven't had it appraised yet..but would do so before ever trading,or selling it! And at least 2 opinions from "PROFESSIONALS"! BTW...LOVE the pic of your wheels-up X lined up against a Nash Metropolitan! My sister-in-law LOVES those cars! I remember being in Frankenmuth,Mi. a few yrs. ago,and seeing a black and white one...with a BLOWN 426 HEMI!!! ...CRAZY! Thanks for your opinion,Jeff!

Dan..pretty much hit the nail on the head! Back-halved..narrowed Dana 60..ladder bars,or 4-link suspension...and has to have a STRONG Big Block,capable of mid-to- low-10's! Is that asking too much? Something real similar to this Dart Sport would do the trick! LOL!!!

All Dusters are not created equally. I like that Dart Sport though, is that a local car to you?

Mark...are you referring to the black,orange,and white one I posted a pic of? Whoever owns it now,I'm sure would NEVER trade it for my car...not in a million years! It's Dick Landy's ole' Hemi Pro Stock car! I ALWAYS LOVED that car! Very unique paint scheme! BTW...Your Duster's not on the trading block,is it? .....VERRRRY NIIICE!

Yeah that's the one. I guess I somehow missed the giant "Dick Landy" lettering on the door the first time I looked at the pic.

Someday in the future I might sell my Duster, but hopefully not anytime soon......

I'm not trying to be "that guy"....but there's always the A body wanted, and the race cars sections in the ads.

....just saying: there's a whole bunch of membership (and non-membership) that surfs the ad section and never looks at the message board areas.

Seriously, might wanna give that a shot if you really want to do that.

I wouldn't let that GTX go, though

I've stayed out of this Randy BUT if you just want a
10 second pass you need some minor work.... I cant see
you dumping the X... time for some head work

Yep, have to agree with this plan

Port the heads and dump a 4.15 stroker crank in the block and you'll be there.

Im with Raff....You dont need a stroker to go 10's. With some head work maybe a dominator your there. A cam swap wouldnt be bad either.
