I order two engines from Craig at Ray Barton. They are slow, took 6 months to get the motors. But the work is awesome and the attention to detail is great! Ray Barton built two 472ci Hemi, one for me and one for a friend. Both motor had 14 pulls on the dyno and both motors are now one year old with no problems!

Pricey but 1st class people

Maybe my next car? I'm going to build a 1970,71,72, or 73 Trans Am just like the YearOne Bandit! but some other color not black. I see you have a 75 or 76 Trans Am

Yeah, I have a 75.  I would love to see a 70-73 T/A on TV.  Those are the best years.  Hurry up and get-r-done

Thanks for the feedback! I'm looking at the 472 and the 528. Is your 472 very streetable? Very tastefully done I might add.

Streetable! thats a good question! If you are looking to drive across country you don't need 472 ci and 700hp.
but if you are just driving to the track and/or a car show or just out every now and then, I would say, Yes its streetable. In traffic at a stop light it runs 185 on a hot day. I will put under 1500 miles this year on my Charger and so far I've put only 400 miles on it.
