It’s currently in theaters check your local listings. My Duster gets a lot of screen time and looks tough. Hope some of you can make it out to see it!

I did, he was around for 5 days. He and I talked airplanes. He was really nice and spoke to everyone, and when the town got word that he was around they flocked to where we were and Travolta stayed for hours shaking their hands and signing stuff for them long after filming ended. Everyone was...

There was a name change but the movie goes to theatre August 4th now named Mob Land. You can see the Duster a few times in the trailer, some other good cars too. Here is the trailer on IMDB: Mob Land (2023) | Action, Crime, Thriller

These numbers! You said in post 102 you didn’t want a “race engine” and wanted use pump gas, while using 3000lbs to calculate the needed power. I thought you were wanting to build something to run down there @ 10.99! Knowing now that isn’t the goal here; Yes, you could take a 2500lb car that...

125mph give or take and the wildest gear that can accomplish that is a 4.56... this is a request to run sub-7.0 in the eighth. 5.38+ gears and transbrake needed for that but will fail to make in another 660 feet before finding the rev limiter. This will only be accomplished with large port heads...

In my '69 Dart, I dialed in 9.00 and ran 9.02-3 (1/8th) every pass on my way to redlighting in the finals with a stock piston 318, stock 915s with 1.88/1.60s, RPM intake, Headers, MP474 Purpleshaft, and factory converter w/ 3.91s. I can't prove it now but I pretty sure a set of stock 302...

I'd have to send that stock converter off to be "loosened up" some. I'm certain it would buy you 2 tenths in the 60 foot and you can still call it a Stock converter. Furthermore it would have no negative side effects to the goal of your build.

Watching it now! You really did well! Congrats

My cam from Hughes is the "New" specifications that you've shown. However I bought it in 2015. I dynoed it in a 318 where it made 293 hp to the tires. That was with J- heads but otherwise similar set up as yours.

Still On for this, however the Track location has changed to Baileyton Dragstrip in Baileyton, Alabama.

Has anyone seen Magnum heads at work on a 273? I've looked but not seen a running example anywhere.... I'm about to do it just because its free and I don't care if grenade it or not....

Well it floated the valves at 5200 and is where the power peak was, its not together anymore but those heads with better springs pull way past that on my 340 now. It used the Hughes .491/.500 roller cam, out of the box RPM intake. I was using this infront of a 727 w/ 3500 shelf converter on a...

My KB167, 318 with less compression and ported J heads made 292.3 HP to the tire and ran the 1/8 in 8.35. So I assume you could be in that neighborhood.

that’s not my video… just sharing the info from the World Wide Web bud….

Not sure I'd call them special but I have only seen 714 casting heads on 1991 model 318s. Some debate can be had on the differences between them an 302 casting heads However, in one flow test I've seen they offered a rather healthy benefit over the strikingly similar 302... (about 8 minutes into...
