Big Block Conversion, do it again?
Hell yes I would do it again but you haven't lived until you put a hemi in a a-body I did mine 67 convertible 15 years ago before you could get the nice k-frames and headers and yes it was a pain it the a** sometimes. There is lots of trial and error with things like headers, engine mounts, steering linkage, steering column, heater box you can't think of everything you need to change, but nothing beats displacement or eye candy when you open the hood and they can't believe it. I have won more races by just starting it. My engine has aluminum heads, water pump housing and the 70 lbs battery is in the trunk so the hp to weight ratio is very good. I ran 11:30 at 129 mph and totaled a set of used drag radials in 2 passes but it was fun. (the tech guy told me i was done for the day / on a rented track with some friends) I also had a factory 383 Formula S that was a great car, fun to drive, it was a special order car so it had 383 automatic, 3:55 rear, P/S, light package a clock but no tach, AM/FM radio I added the wheels it came with the wire hub caps that said Plymouth in the center. And before anyone says anything about the hood the first owner had the dealership install the Cuda hood scoops on the stock hood when it was new and they put them on in the wrong place so the strip doesn't line up with the Plymouth letters on the header panel. Again I would do it in a heart beat and you wouldn't go wrong with a mild 440. Good Luck what ever you decide
