Cool Goody!!!  That'll be neat to be in the 11's with that 360!!  I was at a car show today and talked with a guy who runs a '73 Duster 340 (sounded nice!) who's pushing around 11.35 in the quarter.  I can't wait to assemble my 340 as he's running pretty much the same setup that I plan on doing, so hopefully my Chally will be in the mid 11's as I expect it to be. :grinyes:  Keep us up-to-date with your engine upgrade! :2thumbs:

   curious about the gear /trans / tire combo of that 11.35 duster. mines got a 380hp crate360, 4 speed, and i have a set of 4.56s if i so choose..and 275-60 15 bfgs. i know it hauls pretty well on the street and was origionaly buildt for racing.

Turbo the Duster, WITH the slanty.  Slant 6s take to turbos like fish take to water.  Plus, there's plenty of room in the engine bay for a turbo setup.
