Match Race 1972 ~ 'Duster 340 vs 'GTO 400'

I agree with that assessment. The Pontiac D-port heads just couldn't get it done in anything other then a torque biased build, without work. The small port big Chevy heads, (not the late peanuts), even with a little less valve, would run circles around them. I never flow tested either, but just the response to a fairly big street cam, told me all I needed to know.

I love the drivetrain spec sheet. The fact that a column shift 3spd was standard vs the floor shift really surprised me. I've never seen a column shift 72' A body before?

My late grandfather that died in 1988 @ 85yrs old, refused to drive a auto trans car. And he never did! Even though he had a few early/mid 60's Impala/Belair cars with 4spds, his last "big" car was a 1972 Belair 4dr with a 350-2 and a column 3spd. Had to be more rare then most Hemi cars...lol.
