Jim, the Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volare has the same CD as the Darts and Dusters; .48

We had one of those cars for most of my life. Ours was a 318-4 bbl initially and it seems like that's still a very favorable combination. Angelo Phillips' and Marcus Widuch's cars come to mind.

The 360, on the other hand, USED to be a favorable combo. Now it's rated fairly honest (aka "hard"). Before selling the car, we ran the '76 small cam combo rated @ 284 hp. Ran -.910 before it sold. There's a couple of them that run really good: Bo Fowler, Barry Pollard, and Jim Wahl foremost amongst them. When we first began running the 360, it was only rated @ 270 hp. George Widuch, Jerry Bennett, and Darrell Steiger were REALLY fast with those cars for a long time and worked the factor upwards.

PM me if you have any questions. Happy to help.

I'm surprised the Irvings haven't chimed in yet.
