Wonder what kinda times it runs??

Horsepower & Performance: Since the Hemi was never dyno'd, Larry doesn't have any at-the-flywheel horsepower numbers, nor does he have any timeslips from the local track . . . well, not yet.
Engine: A faulty roller lifter spat chunks that gnarled up the oil pump shaft,which in turn drained the Hemi of all oil pressure. Larry and friend, Galen Frick, pulled the plant and sent it to Duane Saum of Saum Enterprises in Wichita, Kansas, where the factory '68 block was bored and fitted with a 4.150-inch stroke crank. With everything but the block and heads replaced, the 485ci elephant is powered by a new Bullet hydraulic camshaft, Crane hydraulic lifters, and Manley valves. Topped with a M1 dual-plane aluminum Mopar intake and a Holley 1050 Dominator, the plant makes enough punch to take on those Super Stockers that inspired Larry 40 years ago. A Joe Hunt distributor with an MSD 6AL box spits fire, and the spent fumes tunnel through tti headers and 3-inch Flowmasters.
Transmission: The TorqueFlite was dropped off to Tim Parks at Neal Chance Racing Transmissions. There it was treated to a Griner reverse manual valvebody with a trans brake, a 3,500-stall torque converter from ATI, and capped off with a reverse-pattern B&M Pro Ratchet shifter.
