Good news that 'engine number 3' looks like it's a go for rebuilding! 1600 bucks in a short block isn't really that much and you're right...it'll be worth it!

Hello Were 392 Hemi's used in marine applications? Thank you. ----------------------- Nope, not from Chrysler, anyway. The Chrysler Marine division in the 1950's only ever offered marine hemis in 3 sizes - a comparitively rare 270 Chrysler Marine hemi based on the low-deck 270 Dodge block and 331 a...

A gorgeous, all-steel '41 Willys....with an
injected 426 Hemi!

I just spotted this over on the the H.A.M.B.
Gorgeous car with an even more gorgeous
engine!

Hmmm?? Speaking of criminal ' illegal immigrants ' being released on bail and being free to walk the streets of America, - how about Conrad Black - the multi-millionaire convicted swindler, fraud artist and thief who stole millions of dollars from shareholders and investors in the various U.S. media...

----------------------
Nope. Wrong on 392's The 392 first came
out in the 1957 model year Chryslers and
Imperials. '58 was the last model year the
392 was made.

I'm shocked and surprised that I actually like it.....but I do!! I give it a definite "thumbs-up"! :) mart ------------------ PS. I wonder if Chrysler actually decided to produce some Challengers like this, if NASCAR would still try to legislate them out of existence this time around???? =...

".....but i wounder whate the old racers used for intakes to bolt the old truck 8v71 blowers?" --------------------- " What did the old racers use for intakes for the 8v71 blowers" ? ? The simple answer is 'nothing', because the "old racers" *didn't* use 8V71 blowers. ...

Gorgeous car, but if it were mine (Hey, I can dream, can't I?? :D ), I'd do away with that chintzy looking aftermarket steering wheel in a hurry. Back in the '70's and early-80's, in Hamilton Ont., there was a virtual twin to that car except it was black with red interior and wore a pair of M&H ...

Just wait until these -and all other gas-electric 'hybrids; for that matter - get to be 5 or 6 years old and need a '5000 dollar-plus' battery pack replacement. The problem is that people who buy 'hybrids' vehicles new - because they can afford to buy them, usually trade them in after 3 or 4 years -...

You mean this ad??? :D (see attachment below!) About the 'Torque-Thrust' wheels - they were - and are still - made by "American Racing". They weren't a 'factory' or even ' 'Mopar dealer-installed' option on the GTX or on any other car. They're strictly an aftermarket wheel. In the mid-and ...

Hmmm?? I don't know.. Maybe by making 50 percent of the cars with the fuel filler on the right and the other 50 percent with the fillers on the left, some crazed engineer thought that overall and on average at least the cars would be more evenly balanced!!!! <GRIN> :D :D mart =======================...

Not that I know of. Any and all of the stock and near-stock 426 Street Hemis that I've ever seen all had an natural aluminum finish on their AFB carbs .. One possibility though - for a while back in the '70's, Carter sold an 'aftermarket performance' version of the AFB that had a black finish. Perha...

" ....do you think I should put the smaller guides & valves in or just leave it the way it is ? " ------------------------------------------------- Yeah. I'd definitely put smaller guides in and go to 'standard-stem-size' valves. The the 'semi-humongous'-sized stems on the sodium-cool...

I'm still working with #3. I took the heads apart to find sodium filled exhaust valves.Is this just atruck thing or do the car 315 engines have this too ? any help on this matter would be great. ------------------------------------ Nope....the-sodium-cooled valves are a " truck, imdustrial &am...

.....and speaking of other exotic, 'non-Chrysler' Hemis....check out these cutaway drawings and photos of the experimental hemi V8 used in the Buick 'XP300' and 'Le Sabre' Motorama show cars for 1951. Not only was it a hemi, all aluminum and supercharged, but it used a unique twin-2-bbl carb "d...

You should probably contact Car Craft directly. Maybe they'd even do a feature on your car! We'd need a TheHEMI.com windshield sticker before the photo shoot :D -------------------------------------------------------- Absolutely! I'll get right on it and start working on one right away!!!! <BIG GRI...
