I like the part where they would run the engine on a dyno and go to lunch and if it was still running when they got back it was a good one. :-laf



nothing better than watching old mopar iron in action.

OH MAN, what Nostalgia - old familiar faces...



What a pity that so many of those seen in that video aren't even recognized by 90% of the members on this board! They were regulars on the monthly Hot Rod magazine pages of my mis-spent youth - my first love has ALWAYS been rods and customs...



THANKS for sharing a piece of automotive racing history! Oo.

Gary,



Are you old enough to remember when the NASCAR Chrysler HEMI cars Finished



1) First

2) Second

3) Third



In almost all the big races?



The other teams squawked, so they banned the HEMI from the high banks. :-laf

I guess that means you remember back in 1943 when the v-16 hemi was a plane engine and the 6 cylinder hemi was a tank engine

Brutal '68 Charger

I hate the hood scoop and the lettering, but the car is nice. Sounds like he's getting plug wire cross-fire at times.
