Yeah, I didn't start out that way, but I ordered a new Hellcat engine two years ago, and that kinda set the direction for the build. By the time it became apparent that there was no guarantee of a delivery date for the Hellcat motor and I got my money back, I was too far along to go back to something more conventional. No regrets though--my dyno numbers were 641 hp, 595 ft-lb, which should improve after a little tweaking by Hilborn and MoTec, and I will be a couple of hundred pounds lighter on the front end than I would have been with the Hellcat. I don't think I will catch too much grief for cutting up this car--hey, it was a 273 two-barrel car with an automatic. Besides, I drove it for almost 40 years with the 340, so I think I should be entitled to do whatever I want with it now.
