Don't know . But i can tell you this my 71 Duster 340 would set you back in the seat . Off the line she was faser then a 427 tri power Vet, she was faster then a Hemi Cuda , Road Runner or Charger for the first half of a quarter . 0 to 70 in 4 seconds and a 107 in 13.23-25 in the quarter just stuff it in drive and stand on it . If you had the stones and held it on the floor she would peg the speedometer at 150 +. That is how she came from the factory when i bought it . My factory parts and service rep talked me into this car at the time i was the parts manager of a large Chrysler Plymouth dealership and if you wanted performance parts for your Mo par this was the place to come because if the part was in the Hussel Stuff part catalogue it was on the shelf's , say you puked your 426 Street hemi Friday evening at the local drag strip , Not a problem just be in the door before noon Saturday morning with your check book and you can be out and on your way with a new full dressed drop in add oil and fuel and be back on the strip Saturday evening with a new hemi as i stocked 340's -383's 440's and hemi's . OR any part there of . Ya need a new lets go fast car just pick the color and do you want a four speed or a automatic. And do you want just a nice cruiser or do you want it full out strip ready with the big rad. and 3.91 gear or the 4.10 and if ya wanted deeper then hey it was a 45 min job to change it out to 4.30 or 4.56 with the speedo gear change . anyway Bob talked me into going up to the test center to drive this 71 340 , i ran it on the quarter then the big track full out . I bought that car , it came pre broke in with 837 miles on the clock and four almost bald E70x14 Goodyear Custom power Cushion Poly glass tires . God awful color Sassy grass green , blacked out hood with a huge 340 Wedge decal black body stripes running down the upper sides with 340 at the back and a black vinyl roof . It had buckets when i test drove it but the looked stupid with the column shifter and they swapped them out for a split back bench seat at the factory , the bench seat was more comfortable . With my dealer discount i gave out the door with tax 2400 and change for that car . Sticker was a little north of 3500 . She was sorta like a burger king whopper as it took two hands to handle it . She was fun to drive and was a great street racer , yea i did do some light to light . On the plus side she got fantastic gas mileage even hauling the mail while on trips she would pull down over 19 MPG and set some land speed records doing so . In my youth all my cars were fast . The Duster was the last car i personally owned and have not liked anything since as 1971 was the last year of the performance days . With the 72 model year good cars were turned into DOGS that sucked gas and did nothing .
