Think long and hard about selling. It’s expensive to buy back in if you decide to do so.

He sounds excited to get back to racing, Good Luck to you Guys.
My Son and I are working on his Duster now, we are going to bring everything to the machine this week coming, clean,hone valve job. He is considering cutting the intake valves from the 2.19 out to the 2.25, these are the 440-1 heads they have the cnc 325 ports now, I thought they were the 345 ports, but nope 325. so thats what we are up to.
This is my younger son (28) and he was never into racing. He bought a Duster in Denver where he lives and is starting on restoring it. He runs an Autobody shop do that will come in handy. He also found a 340 locally so if Speedmasters go on sale again we are going to have a set shipped here for me to port for him. Matt my oldest son (32) is out in our shop right now. Hopefully we can motivate each other. Ethan’s Duster and engine. Was a slant six a car car so he got a k member for a small block.
Yuck. We really lucked out in Pa last year. I live in the country and I never fired up my snowblower last winter. I did shovel a couple of times.

my winter plans are getting some bigger headers (1 7/8" hedmans), and a bigger cam ground to my own specs.....we´ll see next year if this is a good thing ;-)
Car runs 11.0xx at the moment, need that little bit to get into the ten sec zone ;-)

2021? I'm hoping to build the 440 and get it going, but who knows what 2021 holds....
Boy isn’t that the truth. Nobody could have guessed what this year brought. For awhile I didn’t think I would be doing any racing then boom the tracks opened.

Sounds like the plan John.
Lord willing and i am still breathing, will have the 418 in my Dart and hope to race a good bit more than the past couple of years.

I can't imagine anything else I can do to the Duster...
I'm going to try and focus on karting...

No, not kidding....got a link to that thread?
Look pinned up top in the small block Mopar tech area. Great post with all the links to Speedmaster heads that guys checked out last winter. That will keep you busy for a week. I hope we all can do something like that this winter.

FIRST thing I am doing is healing up from back sugrey..I dont get to go to work till December 3 then will be on light duty for two months. Any way after I get heald up. I am going to work on my dakota. I want to drop it 4 inches front to back. Then going to build my 904 to handle a trans brake. Then have to decide to either build a 426+ stroker small block or build a gen 3 hemi..also might just try building my 360 thsts in the dakota now. To 13.1 compression. Oops forgot to add want to switch from 93 pump gas to E85. I think thats enough for now. Lol

Thank you and me too. I feel off a porch 2 months and Ruptured the disc at my L2-L3 virtbrate.i had it repaired Friday. All I can say is thank God for pain meds. Lol best of luck to you and everybody else on here.
2020 was not a good racing year for me. I had no wins, no finals...best finish was a quarter final (which is not normal for me). Oh well...next year.
For 2021, I will probably just change the oil and go racing....but I would like to make my car lose a little weight. I have yet to knock all the undercoating off the car...that would probably be 50-80 lbs in just labor (no money spent). That other "maybe" thing I might do over the winter is put a quieter exhaust on the car. I'm getting old, and actually would like it a little quieter driving around town, lol.

My Son's Duster looks just like yours { new look } except his has Weld Wheels Drag Lite, I showed him your Duster and he says He going to change wheels , similar to the ones you have on your Duster, some time this year after the freshening up. He has been talking about it for a couple of years , just wasn't sure witch one's he wanted.
