On Call Today

[Joseph James]

I bust it out at work all week. I had to work the weekend. So, today, I took it easy and watched Mopar videos on YouTube.

My favorite by far


What's up with the hood?


4 speed 68 Sport Fury

That 68 in the second video looks to be a great car.

That Cuda running 9.5a is awfully quick for naturally aspirated no nitrous. I wonder what he has the weight down to.

 

[Joseph James]

That Cuda kicked butt. The owner seemed like a good guy, too. Pretty humble about his car.

1969 Imperial promo film. What a beautiful car.

As I recall, that E-body has a special engine under the hood. Makes more power than anybody would ever suspect. It can run faster than it does, plus the guy knows how to drive it for best results. Seems like he ran two brackets with it and won both?

He decided he didn't like the hood scoops,,,,

What does a aluminum hemi block cost? 10 to 1 on pump gas no less.

He said 700HP range. 570ish CID (can't recall exactly) and all aluminum. He said the hemi piston made the difference. I'm guessing that all aluminum engine cut the weight quite a bit?

I think he did win both brackets. He was joking about running in 11 if he started in third gear.

Lol looked like a junkyard special but the hood looked professionally made.

In the video the guy said it’s an all aluminum 528 hemi, somewhere in the 700hp range, but even that doesn’t seem hot enough to push an e-body into the mid 9s

 

[Turboomni]

He said a 528 ci all aluminum Hemi.

 

[Turboomni]

Well that settles it. I am not rebuilding my cast iron heads on my 440 and go aluminum 10 to 1 on my stroker 440.

$22,000 for a 528 crate motor

 

[Turboomni]

With an aluminum block 528 hemi it also must be a stroker too ?

 

[Turboomni]

So long block then. Actually cheaper than I thought.

 

[Joseph James]

The guy in the Dodge said he couldn't snatch his soul, it already belongs to Mopar.

 

[Turboomni]

Yes he has respect and knows history. Good guy.

 

[Turboomni]

Thanks for posting Mr James
