Ha!  That's pretty ingenious!  Cool!  :thumbsup:

Awesome, saved yourself about $2k in the process.

How can I turn my 340 into a Hemi for $21?  :clueless:

I read an article years ago about a guy who mocked up Hemi valve covers on his big block.  Ran the plug wires through them and on to the proper locations.  I remember the pics looking OK at the angle they were taken, but I can't imagine you'd fool anyone who was up close.

If anyone has a pair of Hemi valve covers they'd like to donate, I'll be happy to recreate it on my car and do a write up.  :bigsmile:

Anyone?    Anyone?  I'll pay $21!
Yes I own a 1972 Dodge Challenger Convertible T/A S/E with a 440 Six Pak. Can it get any more wrong?

Not quite $21, but a little less and you get the block!  In MA.

If you don't put the intake on it'll double as a bird feeder/bath!  :roflsmiley:

Sad part is, for only $300.00 more each, I actually turned two 8 3/4's into REAL Dana 60's....
