I actually came here looking for some info on the Buick 3800 supercharged stuff but since I have to introduce myself I'll introduce my car.
I got my 1970 Plymouth Duster from my uncle in 2007, my senior year of highschool. It was a numbers matching 340 center console rallye dash car. But the motor was in the trunk and you could see through the car. My dad and I rebuilt the engine, replaced both full rear quarters, fixed the rockers, doors, fenders, trunk lid and pulled the vinyl top off the car. Then we painted it ourselves and put it back together. Shortly after I pulled the 727 and swapped a T5 into the car. I drove it like that for around 6 years or so until 2 winters ago I pulled it back apart to four link, mini tub, k member swap (rack and pinion steering and coilovers), LS swap, T56 and turbo swap the car. Basically made it a modern handling and driving old car. At the end of the season last year I blew the 8.75 up and am now building a dana 60 for the rear. I also just swapped out my 80lb injectors and duel 255 walbros for 120lbs injectors and duel 350 walbros to get over 800whp. It made 780 last fall on 93 pump. I'm in the central Vermont area.

So, for the last few years I've really wanted to buy one of the new SRT8 Challengers because I think they're absolutely beautiful. But, I knew if I bought a Challenger the poor Duster would never get driven because as it is, the 340 needs a rebuild and the T5 is starting to make noise after the...
