Pic with the SS springs. They lifted the rear about 3 inches. Everyone says they will settle after being on the car a while so they sould be perfect if they do. If not, I can always flip the front hangers to lower it about an inch or so.

Pic with the Edelbrock Air Gap. It's taller than the Torker 340 I replaced, which causes clearance issues with the Mopar air cleaner.

I bought one of the last hi comp 71 340 dusters built in May 1971. Yours is a nice recreation of a great hot rod. FYI, thru the factory caast iron exhaust manifolds, mufflers, and on L78/14 Caddilac sized tires, my car 13.60's all day with nothing more than tweaking the TQ and a set of 4:88s in a 742 housing. Stock cam, suspension, full interior, 3350 on the Atco scales. When it stopped being my daily beater, and after some "adjustments" it went as low as 12.80s. With modern tires, headers, etc, I think you could see some 12.50/60s. Good luck.

Really nice work on restoring that Duster! If you havent run across my page yet, I have posted a couple of original 1971 Chrysler - Plymouth sales brochures. Check out what your car looked like in the original sales brochure, and some of the styles and options that were available in 1971. Its kinda cool! Thanks.
