NoObbie here

Hello everyone, Ive been reading up on this board for a while but just now registered. Lots of good info here and im glad to be a part of the board. I have been working on a big block '71 duster for about 5 years now, and I think it will be on the road some time around christmas.
heres my setup:
-440 bored .40 over, 500" stroker, 4.15 Sony Briant billit crank, oliver rods, diamond pistons(11-1 compression).
-Edelbrock heads and M1 single plane currently being ported in trade for my old neon
-Pro parts headers just came in the mail today
-Will be using a demon 850 carb...I think
-cam is undecided as of now
-727 with fresh rebuild(kevlar clutches) soon to be recieving a manual valve body. Converter not chosen yet and rear end is a rebuilt 8 3/4 3.91.

Im hoping this setup will put me in the mid elevens...or quicker. Been saving up and slowly collecting parts so im excited to get the car going. Also painting the car soon, panther pink .

Welcome aboard.

Id recomend a solid cam in the 260 @.050" with around .600" lift for that 500cubes.

The 850 demond should work good but it may like a Domanator better. If it hooks say hello to a 10 sec time slip.

Welcome :cheers: Sounds like you're putting together one mean Duster :shock: With a 500" engine 11's might just be a warm up run :thumrigh:

 

[AdamR]

No, No, Thats 11 seconds in the 1/2 mile not the 1/4 mile

Welcome aboard.
Any pix of your Duster?

 

[Geoff]

Thanks for the welcome. I figure I will have enough power to go 10's...but Im not ready to hack up the wheel wells so I don't know if I will have the traction for 10's(have some slicks already though; 10.5x28 hoosiers I got free). Paint job is paid for already, and I figure I have about $1500-2000 worth of parts to get but it's almost there. My digital camera is currently on a trip to oregon with my brother so I will post some pics in a week or two, even though the duster doesn't look too great right now.
thanks again,
Geoff

A little tuning on the suspension and you'll have those slicks hooking up just fine. I don't think 10's will be too much of a problem for you :thumrigh:

Welcome! Sounds like a fast car you got there. :thumrigh:

 

[Geoff]

Yea it will be quick, I figure it will thuroughly scare the crap out of me, but that sounds fun .
