No, it's a coffin with wheels and a hemi.

could be bad news talked to my uncle today he said theres a chance that he cant get me a Hemi but if he cant he'll hook me up with a 340+6 or a 440   

[Khyron]

bah, 440 will make more power cheaper anyways

[greenpigs]

Try for a 68 or 69 440. Dont they have a lighter recipicating assemble?

Don't stop with the Hemi, make it a 77 Daytona Charger and put a wing on it!! It would be the only 77 Daytona Charger hemi in the world!

there are several of them in Kansas City, there is a thread around here somewhere

I wanna see a picture of these 77 Daytona Chargers that you speak of

i tried to search for them but couldn't find them, maybe it was over on the 1st gen site, someone here must of seen them, its been in the past year at the latest i'm sure, someone said that a guy in Kansas city (i think) had done several of them, i think one was on ebay at the time of the thread

The only 440's that I know of that have heavy recipricating weights would be the HP engines with those heavy SIX PACK rods...As for the "LY" Pass. car rod engines, they are all pretty much the same As far as I know..

Not to piddle on the campfire but how long has this engine been sitting around collecting rust/dust? It's cool that you got a real Hemi but speaking from experience you might want to carefully consider your options before trying to drop it in and roll so to speak. First off, someone might actually pay you a large sum of money to own this thing since it falls within a desirable date code range. Second, if it's been sitting for years, unless you rebuild it or at least carefully inspect it you run the risk of damaging it badly enough to junk it if you just try starting it up. I'm just sayin' this isn't some run-o-the-mill V8; it's pretty much the be-all legendary American powerhouse and if it were me I'd be treating it like, well, something very special. The whole thing to me kind of seems like a kid using gold nuggets to shoot at birds with a sling shot (if that makes any sense).

Reminds me of DRACHE.

the whole car/motor/everything are being completely rebuilt down to the last bolt so that is not an issue I have no intentions of starting the motor until it has been thoroughly gone through
