Maybe the guy selling it to you made a mistake and reversed the L and H? I would ask him to send you a picture of it, or at least check it again.

this saturday i will testdrive it,and buy it if it's fast enough

it got a modified 318.

rebuilt 340 heads,edelbrock 750,edelbrock cam( 284/296)  and other goodies.....i do not have any specs about the rest now...

yep,u where right chris

i checked it myself and he reversed it

i drove the dodge for 10 miles or so,runs good.

i made him an offer,the dart needs some welding,painting etc.

i let u guys know iff i'm the new owner one of these days.

Glad you got that figured out Alfred.  Good luck with whatever you do. That's a pretty wild scoop on that hood.
