I can answer your question a few ways.

I have a Neon, I do not have a Duster ( so I would have to buy one, and they are not cheap or plentiful)

To run the Duster I would also need:

Caltrac Bars, 8 3/4 Axle, a sure-grip unit, gears and a new driveshaft, Two headers insitead of one for the neon, 4 pistons instead of 8 in the crate motor, and an expensive converter and tranny in the Duster. Running low 15's will not require the same level of expensive parts as a 11 second crate motor car.

The Neon just needs to run the index, not set the record. So a good rebuild, headers and side gears will get it done and of course a set of slicks..

I'm not looking to build a $6000+ dollar race car here. I just want a legal car that can run the National Event at Grand Bend and so I can check off one on my bucket list.

Winning Indy in 1997 brings back a lot of memories and I want to do that again.
