Hell Yeah: Here are some pics of my 426 Indy Hemi 1 Legend

[BB1]

I've been a busy guy lately,... also I've been holding out on you guys. 

Went and pick up a Hemi for my 68 Charger, found it in the local ads here.
Guy had it in a black 68 Charger, he wanted a bigger Hemi in it.

Yes it is a 426 with Indy heads and Indy intake with a Killer Demon carb. 
Runs like a Bat out of Hell!

Tell you more later, I'm off to Arkansas City for my job.

Here is my Charger in the body shop.

Later

VERRRRRRY nice you lucky dog! When are you going to fire it up?

[BB1]

Maybe Spring. 

I'll need some help from you Hemi guys to set the car up for Drags.

Horse power is about 600, I know a shop in town that has a engine Dyno, so I might pay him a visit.

[Hemidoug]

Check out my thread in the chassis section...All I want for Xmas is some hook.....I'm going through some issues with 600 HP under foot myself.

Hey read this...

My Hemi was built by Indy, Holy crap!!

It's the 426 1-Legend, it is cut into the cylinder heads.

[RM23U2]

So you're the guy that owns the '90 Talon! I'd been wondering. It's not that I don't respect the later cars (any 13 sec or better car deserves respect ) but it's just not the same as the old Muscle Cars, ya' know? And I'd love to have access to a garage like that, you lucky dog! I've always admired the black and chrome look - nothing else like it. And with that engine I'm sure you'll take out a few people at KCIR.

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to seeing (and hearing ) that Hemi at an HPAC meet sometime next year! 
I think I've finally found a little more time and money to spend with My Baby so maybe it'll be running (though not finished) by next year ... 

[BB1]

Thanks brother, Welcome to Dodge Charger.

You can join the Kansas Mafia too, we do a lot of Charger stuff around Eastern and Middle Kansas. 

[RM23U2]

Sorry, I'm not a Charger owner (as you can see by my new sig) and would probably feel out of place. The '72 GTX has been my dream car since the minute I first saw one in 1973. Until then my dream car was a '68 Charger - always did like the round tail-lights and side markers.


But we still have a lot in common, B-bodies are B-bodies and they're all Mopar!
Since all the late B-bodies have the same mechanicals, I thought I'd browse around over here a little and maybe learn a thing or two ...

Good deal 

[Blakcharger440]

Hey I was wondering who ended up with that engine! I saw the ad and was too late. If I had been in KC instead of Wichita I would have beat you to it!  Betcha got a really good deal! 

[Charger_Fan]

Any update pics on this project BB1?

[BB1]

Well the body man, who is a good guy imo, hasn't started cutting on her yet.
The parts are there; I'm waiting for the the new fenders to come out. To get all the gaps and body panels aligned on such a long body I really need the fenders.

I'm on the top of the list to get them from Classic Body Designed. 

Unfortunately I am going to have to sell the Hemi. I'm selling my house here in Kansas to moving to Arizona.
I need to find a nice house with a 3 car garage or possibly a car barn on the property for my two cool Chargers.


I'm thinking of doing a stock rebuild on her now, 383 shift auto on the tree. Just a nice cruiser over the desert highways of the Southwest.

[Todd Wilson]

Stay in Kansas and keep the Hemi!
