Build thread- 73 duster, forged 5.7 w/ PS and AC, 5 spd, big brakes and floater rear

Thanks!

I'm hoping to tune it up to 420 rwtq & 420 rwhp. We'll see if I ever get there! Too bad my car is 3,800 pounds fully wet with driver and spare tire...

Looking to find 40HP? Hmmm. I remember back in the 80s Hot Rod dragstrip tuned a 383 Chevelle at LACR. They picked up a full 1/2 second in the quarter mile, by careful tuning. For me personally I bought my dad's old sand-rail and was able to go from losing to him in the drags to beating him in a drag race up a sand dune simply by re-jetting the 48 IDA webers and upgrading the ignition system. So I know that a lot of HP can be found by careful tuning.

I think you have a good shot at getting there.
