Maybe not but when you take this turd and go 9.55@142/@3775 with a cast crank small block in street trim, it does make you think.

I'm gonna try and persuade Hemitis to come with me to Detroit this Winter and maybe we can corner him and make him flip the coin. The only draw back is that he lives in my backyard and I'll have to hear it up to here from him. LOL.

Serious though, it does look like he's got himself a happy engine and it will bring some dividends to the table.
But as you argue, look at what your Son's small block heavyweight is doing with one hairdryer.
One can just imagine that elephant with a single Texas turbo or gemini screws feeding its appetite. Hold on.

Both he and I want to come by your place and talk shop while gazing at that work of art 64'

I should have said " cooler lookin"
Your car goes beyond cool, straight to awesome.

I am driving the car I imagined while standing on the starting line at the Summer Natioals @ NY National Speedway at the ripe age of 14/15.There were HEMI Altereds,HEMI AWBS,HEMI funny cars with flip up bodies,HEMI front engine diggers.Very exciting time in drag racing.
So that is why I prefer the roots.It's been 9.3 @ 147 with a mere 6 lbs of boost.It's legal to 8.50 and that's as fast as my wallet wants to go.

Actually i'm a closet Roots guy from the past, still own it. This is the 1st car Dizuster ever rode in.

Ahha, and the beans spill out of the basket. LOL.

Can you imagine what that old beast would do with an aluminum head G3 Hemi and your turbo setup?

So Doug comes outta the closet................

Although I'm an n/a guy, there's no denying your cars ability and un assuming appearance and total cool factor...........I bet you leave many scratching their heads...........

Wish I could post picks but someone kicked my photobucket lol

Fellas and gals, I see a scale at the end of the tunnel where I will break rank and head to my favorite garage grotto hangout and perform the weigh in.

Somewhere within the next week or so should be right.

Stay tuned.

You know how it is, busy calls and you have to answer or the bell gets dull.LOL.

Man you can tell when all the guys are in the garage during winter shaving weight, I had to go like 8 pages to find this thread

I thought it got canned. LOL.
I'm sure some cats on here will resurrect themselves with all the latest weight loss tricks they have been festering.
I'm trying to get over to the garage this week when it thaws a little for a day or two to slip the scales underneath the wheels.

Carbs are getting prepped for transport.I will see if he has a CNC lightning program for these toilets

Toilets...like the kind you flush money down?

Isn't that what we all do????????Some guys make money on their classic,then there is US

How heavy can those be?
Never heard of someone lightening their carbs via CNC cutting unless it was usage of existing lighter bowls, lighter aluminum main bodies, metering blocks and performing choke tower removals.

Toilets are different and perhaps meatier extra terrestrials.

Though very minimal being part of my ounce count drive last year, I've got T-6 aluminum carb mounting studs with aluminum nuts and lock washers on all four corners of the carb and a center air cleaner stud. That's about the extent that I have been able to go with.

I plan to start this year’s Duster lightening program by lightening the doors. I had the driver’s door off last year to rebuild the hing and MAN those things are heavy! Currently they are all stock. My goal is to keep the stock look as much as possible. I’ll weigh them before getting started and report back progress. As always I welcome any suggestions you guys have.

Happy Holidays everyone!
