Duster 318, N/SA 2850, O/SA 2945, P/SA 3130 with driver. 318 at 185 hp. Tom

I've been racing a Duster for years, and I can't see how you could get one with a 318 in it under 3000 lbs. with driver in legal stocker trim. Duster 318 I would shoot for O, but if you don't remove everything possible and put light weight brakes etc, you'll be closer to P weight.
If the car has frame connectors,a roll bar and 8 3/4 rear it will most likely be between 3000- 3100 lbs without the driver.
Good luck,
George
