Mobile Dyno on hand… here are a few combos we are gonna put to the test Oct 19th
Muletown Mobile dyno has pledged their support for the #MoparVsBrandXstreetcarShowdown in Danville, AL. I’m going to strap my 383 in my Super Bee to it and hope for the best! Ill share some other combos I know are taking the rollers with the best info I remember about them, feel free to guess and debate the following. All are welcome and there will be plenty of time to put your car on the dyno and run down the 1/8th mile. If you want to make it out, arrive at Jakes Dragstrip 10am!

Bicycle commercial used my Duster (lots of tire thrashing)
I love seeing the Liberty Mutual commercials with the yellow Duster, but a less known ad that was only used on social media platforms was for Specialized Bikes using my ’72 Duster. I’ll admit I was puzzled by the final cut… as that was my part of the deal, I just supplied the car and thrashed on it. However, it was a blast teaching Peter Segan (World Champion Bicyclist) to do donuts in a very crude 340 powered A-body which my buddies and I jammed together and painted in 9 days after work…

What has your street 340 and 360 combos ran in the 1/8 & 1/4 mile?

That being said, What are your STOCK STROKE, 340/360s running with midrange converters and 2.94-4.30 gears?
340 for my Duster (then in my 70 Cuda) ran
