383Duster
Well-Known Member
My job takes me all over (catastrophe insurance adjuster). I am currently working at our home office in Mobile, AL. On my days off I like to find a drag strip or car show to entertain myself. Went to Atmore Dragway which is a 1/8th mile track (about 50 miles north of Mobile) last night for a "grudge" event. Some fast cars, slowest class was 7.0, then 5.5, 4.7 and 4.3. One Mopar, about the baddest Duster I have seen. Super nice guy who works at a chassis shop in Mobile. The car has been a race car almost 20 years, he has constantly refined it. A real 340 car still running a naturally aspirated small block. Some specs;
Stroked 340, 412 CI
Fiberglass hood, fenders, deck lid and bumpers
race gas 112 octane
cam has over .850 lift
dry sump, holds 8 quarts
he built the 2" primary headers with 4" collectors
Jessel rockers
weighs 2550 with him in it
Powerglide trans
Ford 9"
W9 cylinder heads
crosses the line at around 8600 RPM
On his first pass on a hot greasy track it ran 5.25 with a 1.20 60 foot
He said the best pass on it is a 5.08....
