Anyone have the 1972 Hot Rod Articles showing Mopar 305 build?

On Page 55 of the April 2012 issue of HOT ROD, you’ll find a photo of John Dianna’s ’73 Duster with the hood popped to show off his destroked 305 Chrysler LA Series engine as part of our 20 Best V8s story. The shot is cropped in the article in the current issue, but we sort of like the full size version, so here it is.

The February 1972 issue of HOT ROD we’ve been thumbing through recently has the second part of build on that very same high-RPM small block that was designed to drag race and shift at 8,600RPM. We don’t remember how long the engine lived under those brutal conditions, so maybe we’ll visit the 1972 issues in the archives and dig that up next.
