One thing to remember: Valiants are on a 108" WB, Darts are 111", so a 2nd gen Valiant (or Barracuda) is always lighter than a Dart. I'm not sure where Dusters fit into this.
Wow. My 273 Commando, nominally 10.5:1 compression (probably less at .030 over), at factory timing is right at the edge of pinging on 91. It's iron, of course. I'd say it's a maybe -- you'll just have to try it.
