Updating the HEMI In The Beast....

[Oldschool]

           Hey, whats the latest skinny     Been kinda quiet. The Beast built yet.   

The cam and pistons are in the manufacturing process, so I am just in waiting mode.  Patience GrassHopper.....   

   BIGS just layin' in the weeds waitn'.......

I've got my eye on you BIGS.....

These are the parts that came out of the 528 HEMI in the beast. They are for sale.....  I only took a pic of 2 pistons, but they are a set of 8.  The flexplate doesn't go with the crankshaft. I used the flexplate to help the crank stand up for the photo. The rotating assembly is already balanced.  Cam is a custom grind solid roller. I can get the cams specs if anyone is interested and the exact cylinder bore sizes that the pistons were in. 4-1/2" bore. I also have 2 Holley 750 HP carbs that came off the car.  I will take $1500.00 for all of it  -- plus shipping. I am just north of Atlanta Georgia....

I just spoke with Rick and Wyman..   The new cam is at Barnett's and the custom pistons are being shipped to Barnett's today...     All I need now is the crank, rods, and rings and bearings and put that bad boy together...      It's getting closer...

Heads are done.  Crankshaft, rods, bearings, and upgraded rod bolts are enroute to Barnett's as I type this.  When it arrives, it will be balanced and blueprinted to match what has already been done to the block. Not much longer and I can go and pick it up and put it together.,,,,

I was just at the Mopar Mile High Nationals and the vast majority run Hemi's even though they have Cheby or Ferd sponsors.

I don't think its all that big of a secret that the real reason Ken is going big with the Beast is so he and the orange bowtie can have an epic clash of the Titans throwdown

Release the Craken!

Ken...

Release the Craken!

The last time I released it, I almost never got it put back in the cage...       

Ok, the engine work is complete. I need to take him my windage tray for some fabrication to make it clear the bigger crank. After that, I will pick it up and start assembling the engine. It's getting closer y'all....

WOOHOO....so by the end of August it will be breathing?

Guess I need to go do some more shakedown runs to make sure the Camaro is good and hungry....LOL

Very cool.
