Your comment about paying the bills by hunting hemi 'cuda's may offend some Mopar guys, but back in the day, most of them ran like slugs unless you could get someone who could tune them properly, then it was a totally different animal.

You may have encountered some of them.

Here's my version.

That wasn't me. I was born around the time those cars were coming off the assembly line.

A 413 stroker with a crossram intake with two offset 4bbls, a 125# shot of nitrous for track use only.
A-833 four speed, sure grip rear with 3:91 gears.

I will eventually cram a crossram hemi in it, but I want to play for a while.

Thats a very reasonable around town business car, heck I should get one too. I could show like 6 houses in 15 minutes, hang on people here we go!

What kind of mileage does it get? .5MPG?

Time for some primal grunting and showing off of chest hair.

Something about a massive American V8 with a massive blower, and way way to much power.
