Thanx's flmopars, dude. I might be selling my 68 street hemi. It's a factory replacement block with no serial #'s that came out of a 68 dart then went into a 71 demon then into my Cuda on sat nights only. Next best thing if you got a 68 hemi car and can somehow document a early warranty job (like intake side head bolts getting sucked in and down the ports within the first 6 months of ownership)

Hea, but its going real slow. For years I've been slowly redoing the machining on the Hemi. The original 440-6pac motor after my last bash in 89 on the sat nite street racing spot that I had won a run up against a 454 for I think 200.00. The motor developed a about 1/4 inch forward throw on the harmonic balancer winging it off idle. Thrust bearings gone. So I parked it and started putting all my time and money into the Hemi plans. The hemi block was bored with in .008-.010  of its final bore of .030 over with deck plates and the main caps installed with the block heated to 210 degrees and a lot of other **** done to it also. I developed a draw through mainifold plate with plumming, that was only 2" thick for a under the hood twin turbo 16psi system with 7.5 to 1 forged pistons running off of some old Hookers that were 2 1/8" running a 850 holly but years ago sold that set-up (just the plate and plumming and hookers) to someone for a lot of dough that ended up smashing his ride and it was a total loss, (a 71 challenger-lime green). That thing was Scary at 12-14psi pulling in 2nd or 3rd and the first runs on that one put the Pinion snubber through the floor and pulled and twisted the stock floor boards soo much we couldn't open the doors. Then like i said he totaled it. Things change, A witch Ball and Chain and 2 boys a house and time have all prevented me to get this thing back on the road. And now with these worth soooo much, mines an original 440-6pack stick car that was originally black. I think only 900 or so came through the factory in 70 with a 440-6 and a stick and most of them were blue or red. Even thought I'm still going to have the ability to run a pretty much stock and cammed out 440-6 on the weekdays and then drop in the 426 with the twin turbos though a Clutchflite on my sat nite runs when we go for money and never pop are hoods and agree that no one hits or runs on the bottle. Our street runs get real nasty out here and we all run just like we did in the 80's. Real crazy and for money.

Yo Pete. Sweet, Sweet Cuda. Looks real nice. What-cha got there, are those 16x8's or 10's? and what size tires are those.

Ya-know back in the day. The days when I had mine on the road. I started a little weekend SCCA RACING and I ordered 16x10 SS Cragars. In 1988 and according to Cragar at the time, I was the first to order them for a 4 on 4 3/4" bolt pattern and I had to wait for at least 3 more orders for them to ship them. (I ended up waiting about 6 months) they told me at the time the 3 other complete sets went to cal and my came to me in Illinois. I was running in 1988, what came stock on the 1988 vettes 255/50/VR16's. They slipped in nice in the wheel-wells and with my 1-1/4 and 1 rear sway bars and the big brake conversion worked out well for back then.
