Excellent car build! I build a similar 1971 Duster in the late 70's and had to sell it when my first son was born. I would love to build another one. Your sweet bad-a$$ car brought back some good memories...
Great job getting the process down. Big improvement on getting the tires heated in the box comparing the first burnout to even the third burnout. Nice job!
Thumbs up to the driver and crew if any. Car comes out, its missing a little, breakin up, breaks the rearend. Then with no hesitstion, next track you see the car is better, and the driver is knocking the cobwebs off of his game too, it pushes the brakes through the tree in the second or third run, and car keeps sounding better, and driver looks better. All around cool vid of the challenges of drag racing. Very nice.
Don Dagy glad you enjoyed ! It’s def a team effort ! And yeah people expect things not to break or you to debut a brand new car and it run flawless. RARELY HAPPENS THAT WAY.
8th mile racing is fun i liked quarter cause at 200mph you at least had time to enjoy the ride but 8th is great for anything running mid 5s that 7:10 is perfect you have a good car that is relatively low maintenance in low 7s high 6s love your videos takes me back a few years.glad you guys got the rearend fixed.
can you define underrated? they are one of the most loved,revered and built mopars there is so how and why do you think they are underrated?you know the snake and the mongoose? the snake was a cuda and the mongoose was a demon,ridiculously popular so no,they are not underrated.
when people talk mopar performance its almost always hemi hemi hemi the dusters were family cars darts were considered budget economy cars of the day sure the Lo23 hemi dart was insane but mopar never considered the darts a performance platform they always pointed at the challengers and cudas as the performance platforms. Had they actually gave people what they wanted the same hemi in the demon and demon red eye would have been offered in a dart ! imagine 790hp in the new dart ! that would have made a statement !
@@steve19745 Budget friendly Dart, growing up my dad had a 69' Dart GT or GTS came with a 440 factory that car was fast as hell, the local joke was "we pass everything but a gas station"
I love that car💯 had one just like it as a teenager , broke many drive shafts / U- joints . I always kept a off set Spicer U- joint/Clips / bolts in the car for that reason 💯👍😂😂😂
I’m building my 1970 duster I have a 440 engine in it, I just don’t know where to get a drive shaft that will fit the car any idea of the length of the drive shaft or where can I find one !?
measure and go to the junkyard and find one. or have your local driveshaft shop make one. they can also shorten driveshafts if you get a long one from the junkyard
My man......constructive criticism. First thing is don't be so happy to bum rush into the beams. Put your pre stage on THEN clean it out. Then find a happy medium as far as the converter goes so you are hitting the SAME place in the beams every time. Consistency is the foundation.
@@moparman619 good deal. I was very o.c.d about my routine and it served me very well. Once consistency comes, the win lights won't be too far behind. Best of luck to you
I built a lot of 440 A bodys NICE car BUT it sounds like its starving for fuel really hear it in second gear needs volume not so much pressure. I ran 7/16 fuel line from a sump welded at the bottom of the tank and two holly electric fuel pumps (The blue ones) picked up over half a second in the quarter.
James Mackinlay thanks for the feedback. We have addressed those issues since this vid. Ignition issues. Nothing better than a 440 in an a body until it’s time to change plugs right ? Lol
ive had 5 A body's what he did out there I did at least 7 times the rear ends in those cars were terrible!! u joint and ball joints all you replace I used to keep a Xtra drive shaft and rear end around.
@@moparman619 did the cal- tracs do much ? I was wondering if you run a lighter torsion bar up front also or a big block size ? Are your cars ever drivin on the street ?
yes we use the lighter slant 6 torsion bars. this car worked really well without the cal trace so its hard to say. plus we don't use the trans brake. if your car has a lot of wheel hop the cal tracks def help.@@Moparmaga-1
@@moparman619 thank you for the useful info, my car hasn't even been converted from the 6 to the 440 yet, long ways away. Right now I'm hunting for proven info. And you have quite a bit so far. I appreciate ya !
No drive shaft loop and really bad welding should have been seen by the tech guy right off. Nice looking car but 12 :35? really that slow? I was running 12:50 on street tires back in the 70's with a 340 Demon. Lose the goofy wing on the back you deff don't need that because you aren't going fast enough for it to do anything.
I like duster but the 1970 demon were a beautiful car man i know who bought won brand new i can reamber how fast that car was it was 340 wedge 4 speed i said i can remember the car i said what was fasted it would do he said he eas in Ontario Canada he said he was going 170 miles hour. I said you had the motor done up he said no that the way it came duster came with same edigne i said i know he said you can get alot of power out of any edigine if you know how to stick handle .i said what do you think of people putting 5 speeds not good for raiceing I asked him all i can figure why just takeing lesd power of the motor he said all it is he said who ever came up with that idea does not no nothing about cars in the 60es 70es i asked other people thar are into mopar very stupid idea i agree he saidit ok in trucks made from 90 up and 4 cylinder standard..he percent right100
Hey there seems to be some jealous assholes who are real bad ass behind their phone. Absolutely pathetic. Do your own shit, don't hate cause you can't moparman619 is kind enough to put awesome vids up for real people who want to see cool shit
@@moparman619 hell yeah. They're great and inspiring, helped me make up my mind to use a 440 rather then run a 451 stroker. Well my .060 over 440 is a 452 so... Is this duster b3 super blue or is it just extra nice b5 blue
SeerTrulth. Yup. so true wrong rear end a new Dana locker with 456s and new mounts ladder bars and a custom built shaft with Dana parts, car does not sound right?????

phuck ewe , I’m sure that thought was there😂😂
This is the prettiest Duster I've ever seen! Wow! Love that color scheme.
wow man thanks! glad you like it!
Great job getting the process down. Big improvement on getting the tires heated in the box comparing the first burnout to even the third burnout. Nice job!

NICE!! I think the Duster and the Demons are the most underated cars of the muscle car era.
onebigkahuna69 don't forget the dart sport. Same body

Beautiful car. I had a '73 Dart Sport that looked just like it.
I love Duster's and Chevelle's.
i always love them dusters with big motor
Love 440 mopars
Drove it home too. Nice 73
Got them other cars so worried ,they keep hitting the red light. 👍
Very consistent times. Awesome car!
Each pass got better and better
I had two 70-340 Dusters drive shaft and clutches were the main problem. But my big foot didn't help much either lol.one lime green and one blue
they're good cars !
My 70 340 car ran low 11s in a 1/4 twisted the frame once
Damn it hope you still have that beast
I had a '74 Duster with 318. Woulda given my left nut for a 440 though!
Hard to find a good welder when ya really need one. Been there
Man that Duster is sweeet!!!
My 1972 is this color it is a 340 my 1968 cuda notch is a 440 car should be a 10 sec. toy Victor heads a small roller 650 lift.
excellent filming and editing
it is an unlimited race weight hood. ALOT lighter but not sturdy at all lifts at the top end. need to pin it down good!
Love that color on that Duster .. hmmm...I wonder why?
I know Jim Signorelli, Mopar Club of SD and my AMSOil dealer. The red duster.
yessir. jim is a cool guy
I have to feel the pain of the team. The will get done.
sounded like a sputtering chicken...lol..

LSXtasy thank you. Why no videos of you ls swap val ?
moparman619 I still need to collect a bunch of parts for that. I just want to drive it and enjoy it for now.
who welded those spring perches on ? that's what happened.....but then ya got her worked out
?

It's breaking up real bad, check your ignition system and your timing.
Is that the Jegs/Summit 6pack hood? How much weight do you drop from stock with it?
unlimited. its super light and flimsy tbh
ive had 5 A body's what he did out there I did at least 7 times the rear ends in those cars were terrible!! u joint and ball joints all you replace I used to keep a Xtra drive shaft and rear end around.
maybe if you ran an 8 3/4 instead of the shitty 8 1/4, it wouldnt blow up.
8 3/4 with a 489 casing would not break for what he’s doing
TheDustyaman Even the 742 case would be fine. Just a smaller pinion.
So...if you took that to a shop, what's the cost (parts/labor) to fix that "retail" do you think?
800 bucks thats a new balanced drive shaft u joint and installed .
What kinda mounts are needed for a swap?
What size rear tire is that?
Hey moparman619 what kind of set up are you running with torsion bars & do you run cal- tracks
Korie Creson went to cal tracs after this video. These passes are in SS leaf springs !!! Stock front end with 90/10 shocks

little joe where are you!
How much hp it make and what' heads u using
teamlovell38 this engine had the 440-1 heads. Not the big ones. They we’re unposted. Never dyno’d but probably around 500-550 if we were lucky?
Need to learn how to heat up the tires and launch the car correctly!!
whats the 60ft?
Nice Duster. Im restoring one on my channel.. you should check it out
were is the ones he got smoked?
i post em all !!! they're on my channel
B3 blue ?
B5 true blue
...mopar or no car...

It looks and sounds like you don't work on the car very much.

Back tire is a little to big. Drop the tire size a little.its to tall

Wtf ????

@@theoriginalmungaman probably so. it was an old one grandpa had laying around. wasn't really spec'd for the car
