VS

71 Duster has 410 with wiseco pistons...12 to 1 compression Scat rods...Hughes 260/264 cam with 1.6 intake 1.5 exhaust, Howard's EDM lifters... heads are Eddy ported by IMM with 2.055/1.60 valves..same valve springs shimmed to 1.80....port matched Victor 340.., 950 QFT carb on E85....MP Race Distributor with MSD 6....TTi 1 7/8 headers.`..Tf 904 with TA 4200 series converter 4.30 Strange Dana 60....ladder bars with DA shocks in rear....Has Gerst coil over spring kit on QA1 k member with Viking DA shocks....Race weight 2975

Both engines are fresh with no runs on them....new pistons ..rings and bearing...Heads are new.....rest of parts are being reused.........Both cars have gone 10.30s in vegas with strokers....Wont be about to run them until November what it looks like.

I think the Duster will be right there with the dart.....just my hunch....lol...if it a tenth behind...that ok...given it is carry 100 lbs more....

I do have a Victor 340 available for the Dart that was worked on a Imm if the SV does not work out....
i hope to start installing the engine in the Duster this weekend...

The eddy heads will be down on power to the TF’s. Depending on the port work, 20-30 HP down. Do they both have the exact same cam?
 
I would like to see the lowly sm's vs. tf's...
The real bang for buck story...
 
Since the combos are very similar and the Dart is lighter I'm going to go with the Dart, but not by much.
 
Heads up racing event. Both Dart and Duster drivers are 300 lb fat guys. Duster driver gets bariatric surgery now. Loses 100 lbs before race night. Gets the hole shot on the dart guy, wins by a 10th of a second.

Moral of the story. Dont count out driver weight too.
 
I would gladly pay Thursday for a cheese burger today ! Oh it is Thursday, Dart by 2/10th's

Tony, where O where do you find the time and energy to do all of this???? Green with envy I am...
 
I am only a teenager.......I have an easy job......so i have plenty of energy after work....only problem now is the afternoon heat is here...

And I just pulled a Giant Boner.....was filling up radiator to start the engine....and all the water is going on the garage floor.....

I forget the ******* 2 freeze plugs in the back of the motor......out it comes.....tomorrow....i am done for the day....
 
The Strip canceled has canceled the August 8 race. Nothing on schedule until November...unless they add something.
 
1/8 does not excite me ...sorry....probably head to Bakersfield
 
Barona is a fun time Tony.... should put it on your bucket/race list :)
