Default 1974 Blown 340 Plymouth Duster

This one is my baby/toy, known as Lucille

For about the last 7 years she's had a 340 of some form or another under the hood, never any less than 500hp (infact it goes up every winter when I'm bored and have money to throw at the car).

The current engine is an R3 340 block, 4.14" Bore / 3.31" Stroke with a tiny little Roots 6-71 Blower on top Did I mention it's strictly a Street Car? Backed by a 18-Spline "Hemi" A833 4-Speed and a Dana 60 Rear. Sadly I haven't been able to drive the '74 this year, I'm still modifying it/beefing up anything the 340 can destroy when I hit the throttle.

Last year she had an N/A R3 340 in her, with a 727 Torqueflite (Manual Shift) and a 8-3/4 with 3.23's and a Spool in a 489 Chunk with 28x10x14 tires.

Various pictures of the little terror on wheels, (yes, it has factory A/C & Power Steering. Yes they will both still function after the blower is on. It also has Cruise Control) I'm currently converting the car into a '71 Clone while doing the rest of the work & modifications.
