There were 3 built? That I didn't read, I just knew of the one that was the one in the 67 Notchback 'cuda....I'd LOVE to find a 68 or so 'cuda or one of a close body style that I could customize into a a 68.....(Whole other story.....)

Was I right to read that there were 404 CID and 444 CID Ball-Stud Hemi's to be built back in what was it? 72 or something?I did read that they were to replace ALL Wedge and the 426 Hemi motor for there time due to the strict emissions to begin back then.

Tom Hovers "Mover" did that too have a Ball-Stud Hemi in it? What was powering that?
