Hey everyone,
Just recently got my '76 Duster a few months ago and joined the forum recently as well. I need a little advice in regards to performance please. I plan to drive on the street and for the Duster to have some snot to spin the tires and get up and go. However, like to cruise to the beach (~50 miles) and run around town as I plan to use it as a sunny day daily driver. Here are my specs:
318 rebuilt w/ 302 heads 5k miles ago
new Mopar Performance Electronic Ignition,
Mopar Air Filter/ Valve Covers,
Edelbrock 4 barrel 500 cfm Performer Carb,
new Ignition coil, ballast resistor
new radiator, water pump, timing chain, oil pump, and bearings
Magnaflow exhaust.
8 1/4 rear and 904 trans
-as per previous owner's ad.
So I'm not sure of the gears in the differential but I feel that it could have a lot more power (or a gear change). What do you recommend for more power...headers?...cam?...a totally new engine!!? hahaa. I don't have a big budget and am looking for advice for a powerful, reliable engine. I really appreciate your help! Hope you have enough info/not too much to make some good recommendations. :)
Thanks,
Trevor
