Who's idea for the 68' Hemi Dart

The title of this thread was who's idea was it for the 68 Hemi Dart and that question has not been answered here. I spoke with Tom Hoover quite some time back on this and when they were in a meeting discussing the 68 S/S program they were going to go with a B-body, like all previous S/S efforts. Dick Maxwell wanted to use the A-Body. The A-Bodies engine compartment was enlarged in 67 and there was rumor of Ford building a 427 Mustang. Dick pushed for the A-Body program and got Mr Tarozzi to do the feasibility for the Hemi A-Body - I think that Mr Tarozzi will agree with this, as he worked for Dick. Unfortuneately, I was never able to speak with Dick as he died in a motorcycle accident shortly after I began researching these cars. So the answer is: Dick Maxwell had the original idea for these cars.
