Looking for a high rise tunnel ram for my nostalgica 340 Duster build.
PM please

Hi everybody,
Got myself a 71 Duster a couple of years ago, seller had no clue of engine internals or nothing else but I got a good deal and bought it. Haven’t had time for it until now.
340″, Eddie heads, Torker intake, expensive red dp carb, newer crap MP distributor, Hooker Comp headers… that’s what you can see.

I like being cheap but I want things to be properly done so I can rely on my engines when they are finished.
I have other projects I need to finish before this one so I’m just setting up the plan and gathering parts right now. Car is at my body guy’s place and I…

383 cam advice?

Will a 26" rear tire fit on my 71 Duster or will I have to modify the front opening of the quarter panels?
What drag radials do you run on your Dusters/Demons?
