Here are some pics of my '71 Plymouth Duster. I finished building it in 2003, and was to be a mostly street driven car with some occasional drag racing....
By the end of 2003, after being bitten by the drag racing bug, my wife and I decided it would be more fun to drag race the duster than to pay for multiple speeding tickets!
Building the car from the ground up, I decided to use quality components, so I went with a Dana 60 with 4.56 gears. We use a Dennys drive shaft, Pat Lane built 904 trans with Pro Trans internals including trans brake.
The engine is a small block mopar 360, stock internally balanced crank, stock factory connecting rods, KB hyperutectic pistons for 12.2:1 compression.
Mopar W2 heads sit on top with 2.02x1.60 valves, victor intake and a 1000HP Holley carb.
The cam is a custom Comp Cams solid FT cam. Nothing exotic in the engine!!
We use an A1 8" converter, TTI 1 7/8 headers, and out back we run M/T 28"x11.5" slicks.
With me in the car ready to race it weigh's 3346lbs. and has run a best of: 10.52 1/4@ 127mph and best 60'ft. of 1.377!
