Mopar 400 block 8 sleeves

In 1971 a friend of my dads was building a hemi for a roadster he hand fabbed in his shop. It was a beautiful car. He decided the shop had too much going on, so he bought bunk beds and put his two boys in one bedroom and built the engine in the other bedroom.

It all went well until they tried to roll it out the door! Had he figured out how to get it out that door, there was two more he had to get through to get out of the house.

So he cut the widow out and put a sliding glass door in there, added a deck and called it good.

His wife was a very unhappy person.

I made sure it gets thru the door before I started putting it together... The only problem was getting it down 2 stairs. We had to make it with me and buddy of mine with engine stand attached to it. It took us 6 hours with driving and multiple crane reassembly. It was good fun, not planning to do it again any time soon ;-)

My wife accepted all this mess quite easily, I'm still surprised about that.
