1973 Plymouth Duster
This is a photo of a car that I owned for 4 years and then sold to my
brother, David. It is a 1973 Plymouth Duster. Under the hood was a .040
over 318 block with 9:1 flat top pistons, a purple shaft cam, double
roller timing chain, and .10 under crossdrilled campered crank. The
engine also had 340 2.02 heads with a three angle valve job, bronze
guides and 340 adjustable rockers.
Above all that sat a 340 torquer intake with a reworked 650 Holley
double pumper. Electronic ignition transferred the spark through Accel
wires. The exhaust waste exited through Black Jack headers. The wheels
were 15" x 8" and 15" x 6" Cragar SS with 50 and 70 series BFG tires.
The transmission was a 727 with a 3200 stall converter and the rear and
was a 8 ¾ with 3.23 gears.
The car was painted factory Butterscotch with all the chrome blacked
out except the bumpers which were painted body color. I added a Direct
Connection front spoiler and twin snorkle scoop which was totally
functional. A B&M star shifter was adapted to the factory console.
Autometer gauges were also used. This was a strong car and received a
lot of attention. The car still resides in Regina, but has another
owner.
