Turning back the clock

Turned out the Rod Shop Hemi is one of Butch's Hemi Pro Stock engines. Once we commenced the tear down, Butch pointed out several of his tell-tale modifications and markings. Makes sense, the Hemi was acquired packaged with Butch's 1982 P/S Rod Shop Plymouth Horizon, the last Hemi Pro Stock raced. The former Pro Stock Horizon, with what we believe to be a slightly milder Hemi and sporting Rat Roaster with a single 4-barrel, is now parked just over the left hand shoulder of its new owner, Steve Atwell ( right side of picture). Butch said at least a dozen times....."this is my Pro Stock engine!"
