I have a 360 you should use and sell me the Hemi. LOL
Actually the way hemijoejr did his is exactly the way I want to do mine. Old school looks with new age power. I also want to hook mine up to a TKO 5-speed just for fun! BTW hemijoejr did you have any clearance issues with the air cleaner? Looks to stick up thru thr hood.

Yup!! The air cleaner needs to move foreward to clear the wiper motor and the carbs are in a different place than the 426 was. I modified an aftermarket spun aluminum base and made offset studs to mount the air cleaner down through the stock holes. No it does not clear the hood. I'm lucky the hood scoop was there. I had a six pack on the small block I had in car originaly so I was going to go with an oval 71 style hemi air cleaner but I like the Chrome dome better. Fits the era.
