Thank you but it was disappointing, drive down to the track with the trailer on and the track is closed, so same time same plan this Friday (they closed because Saturday and Sunday were going to be wet). At least I was not the only one, I saw a mustang on a trailer heading the other way when I...

Heading to the track tonight, I hope the old girl runs the number. Just have to check the tire pressure and make sure the tank is topped off with E85.

That's cool that we have the same combo. I'm not sure I would change the gears, even with the 3.23's I spin just after the launch and I have not launched on the transbrake yet, so that may help some. Driving it on the street (I've put over 200 miles this summer on it) is perfect with the...

Sorry, I do not get on here much. That is so cool, I think that was when they were still running the crate engine before Gary had Dick build it into the solid roller engine. I bought the Duster in September of 2013 just after it came out of hibernation after it had about a third of a retainer...

Fair enough, but I had said that I was going to post some about the magazine history of the car. I did put the new PTC 9-1/2" 3700 stall converter in. Ready for the racing season to begin!

December 2013 Mopar Action

October 2004 Hot Rod article.

Sorry guys, with all the crap happening I haven't had much time to update this. The April 1990 Article with Paul Rossi driving the Duster.

There’s one before that with Paul Rossi tuning the Duster with a 318 engine in it that was built as the first crate engine. Then later in Hot Rod 2005 when they rebuilt the 360 with a solid roller cam and 13.25:1 compressionand again in 2013 in Mopar Action.

There’s just not much room. I’ll get you a picture of it on Sunday.

But I’m not going to do any cutting on this one. Others have cut it up enough. Please remember that this was a magazine car, and I wouldn’t have cut it up like it is. If I could get underneath the frame rails I wouldn’t be opposed to cut some on the lower core support as it is badly butchered...

Old Megasquirt 1 controlling fuel only.

I’ll be there too. Do you have a vendor space?

I may be able too, but then get the cold to it and back to the throttle body is tough. Thanks, 3-1/2 years of work, finally seeing some progress. I'm in Adams county up by Fort Wayne. You going to Indy tomorrow?

69mm compressor, 83mm turbine I believe, $200 China turbo.

I do have to make a correction, right now I have the PTC converter in, during these passes there was what I think is a 4500 stall j converter. I sort of blow thru it in the video, hopefully it won’t be as bad and I make a 10 second pass with the Craigslist engine. Eventually I will build a...

11.48 pass on 15 psi.

73 Duster , former drag car, converted back to a street car, front seats only. 3240 pounds with me and a full tank of E85. Stock bottom end 318 Magnum, 150k not rebuilt, $150 Craigslist shortblock. GT45 turbo, 2-1/8” OD crossover. Stock cracked heads (they didn’t leak with alcohol in the...

Almost full Cal-Trac system (spring relocation front brackets, split mono-leafs), stock rear shackles and old MP gas charged drag shocks. I plan on putting double adjustable Vikings on this year but the new PTC torque converter was $500 more than I thought it was going to be, so I have to wait...

Thanks, I've seen both a2a and a2w, the a2a would require some cutting that I will not do and on the a2w I think they look horrible in the engine compartment. Some meth injection would help the high IAT's. I need most of the space in front of the radiator for the AC coil. I may cut up my...

My 11.48 pass at 121.63.

I'm not running any type of intercooler (I'm just not willing to cut up the car). My inlet air temperatures (inside the manifold) are close to 300°F at the end of a quarter mile run. I may look into meth injection, but I'm getting tight on room under the hood. I probably will not even try to...

And more. The crossover evolved over time to better fit the lower radiator hose and electric fan. Then I had to move it all forward some when I changed to the QA1 K member.

Here's some more.

Sure.

Thank you, it's been a lot of work, I have thousands of pictures of the build of this, started almost 4 years ago. I pulled one piston and checked it and it was at .027" top ring and .028" second ring, I called that good enough. Getting to this point has not been easy, I've trashed two other...

Duster Weighs in at 3260 with me in it with a full tank of E85.

On 20 psi, with a bunch more wheel spin!

On 15 psi. Some wheel spin.
