Did the 1979 Lil Red Express come with an air pump?

pretty wild.

i can understand the prototype getting all the **** hot parts what with dodge skunk works being, well, dodge skunk works and hoover's involvement.

that's the third mention of the 650 TQ, which really has me scratching my head. i've pulled, handled and rebuilt my fair share of 70's~80's TQ's and never seen such a beast to my knowledge.

ETA: my google-fu isn't usually super strong in the am, but i unearthed this gem from dick landy via mopar muscle column in 94

so maybe it's just a matter of flow rating, method of flow rating or an installed limiter.

the secondary air-door limited, which also decreased the CFM."

That's interesting. I would have argued that the 650 number was maybe someone misreading it (6 does look like 8). I've always heard of them as rated at 800 and 850 cfm.

Looking at the list of TQ numbers, it does appear that the later E58 motors did get the smaller (1 3/8" primary) TQ, so that would match up.
