Turning back the clock
During The Nats, I became aware of an additional Hemi available with Butch's 1982 Plymouth Horizon Po Stocker that was being offered for sale as a package.
Butch knew of the Rod Shop Hemi and explained it would be a perfect (period correct) fit for The Flash. The race Hemi has all the good stuff in it from the mid 70s right down to the rare Kramer lightened block, big roller cam, Mullin dual plug aluminum heads, aluminum rods, modified magnesium tunnel ram and Donovan gear drive.
Once the deal was made by a friend of mine to buy the package, he sold me the race Hemi.
Although the Hemi appears fresh, in a few weeks Butch is flying to Detroit where he (with me getting to watch, cheaper than me helping) will dis-assemble, inspect, and re-assemble it for a fresh run it before I install it in The Flash.
I guess I will have to find a new home for the "car show" Hemi. Hmmmmmm?
