Mine is a 1973 Plymouth Scamp that was a completed "restification" project. It had a 318 2bbl and air but I got tired of people making fun of me at cruises. This car was running somewhere in the 17's at that time. Anyhow, I started stripping it down and building the engine up and finally went all race and bought a 1970 340 out of a wrecked Duster. The engine is in pieces right now but as a 10.5:1 engine, it ran 11.504 at 114.876 at Hallsville, Texas. (H435)
Dave.... I might know this car!!.. by any chance was that wrecked Duster a 4-speed car, possibly green in color at one time??...
This sure sounds like a "wicked quick" little Duster that used to run around Kilgore Texas several years ago.
