OK, for those who don't know I've been a die-hard Mopar guy since I was a kid and I've attended EVERY Carlisle All-Chrysler Nats/Chryslers @ Carlisle since the first one in 1991. So even though this was my first year running the show I know all about what people think of the give away cars of the past several years - they've been pretty lame. But hey, Mopar prices have skyrocketed and our $5,000 budget doesn't buy much. Besides, it was a FREE car for someone just for being at the show. OK, on to 2008...
On Sunday, July 13 the lucky ticket holder is going to leave with a 505" Wedge Stroker from Muscle Motors with Edelbrock aluminum heads and pump gas friendly 10:1 Diamond pistons! Plus, everyone will get to follow the build of the actual engine in the pages of Mopar Muscle magazine! So the engine you win will be the very same one that will be featured in the mag in the next couple of months. Even if your car is a turd (like most of mine
) you could have a world famous engine! Also, this won't be some mass produced crate engine - it will be hand built by Mopar Muscle Tech Editor Dave Young so you know it'll be built right. Open any Mopar mag and look at the price of a 505" stroker and you'll know that this engine will be worth at least $10,000. For those who still want to win a car, we'll probably have one of those to give away, too
. I will post this other places but you read it here on c-c.com first.
I owe a huge thank you to Randy Bolig and the rest of the gang at Mopar Muscle magazine for making this happen along with those who are supplying the parts:
Muscle Motors - block and reciprocating assembly
Diamond Pistons - pistons
Edelbrock - heads and intake
Holley - 950 cfm carb and fuel pump
Comp Cams - cam and lifters
Milodon - oiling system
Clevite - bearings
Davis ignition - ignition system
