Wanna double your money ?

[Rolling_Thunder]

I dont know about doubling your money - but you can definately turn a profit with that...       my boss found a race hemi for $5000...    complete minus carbs and accessories- - -   It was a 14.5:1 compression engine with a solid roller 320/320 cam that peaked at around .810 lift    totally unstreetable...     pistons, belt drive, oil system, and other odds and ends were sold and he offset the cost of new parts.  coolest part of the engine ?  A ported and heavily worked magnesium cross-ram intake....

My bro paid $10, 500 for his pristine, standard bore, sonic tested 68 block w/ a pair of 68 heads, 69 carbs.  I've got a  71 Direct Connection block (no VIN stampings), newly done w/ 10.25 JE, stock eliminator rods, Mopar forged crank, solid cam, all balenced, line honed, bored .030 & all balanced & ready to go.  I'll probably put it on ebay or advertise it for around $15-20?   havent decided yet.   The point is, if your hemi checks out standard bore & original, complete w/ cheads, arbs, etc it should be worth IMO, $15K +
