It would be so cool to restore those engines and put them on some kind of a trailer and fire them up every now and then.

Sitting in a rack getting dusty, give it a tub and shoe horn it into a rod is the way to go.:thumbup::D

Probably would do that, the Hemi's are a bit small in the cube dept compared to the other Hemi's l have, being Dodge not Chrysler. But it would be fun freshening them up, every now and then kick them in the guts and listen to them run would be a good way to start the day.:D

Growing up in So.Cal we had a Ford wizard in our town named Bob Burchard. He had a SOHC 427 in a 65 Galaxie, awesome street machine for that era.:thumbup:

I'll find out more and let you know. Apparently he has another one in one of the back rooms under a tarp that came directly out of a race car with headers and all.:thumbup:

Imagine this under the Xmas tree come 25th December.:thumbup::D

A dream !
That'd be better than the sting ray schwinn @8 years old.
I'd love to give you my shipping address if somebody feels benevolent :D
I'll swap this out :)
