Actually I think it might of worked if they ran the 13.5:1 or higher compression and had longer intake runners on the Max-Wedge intake...running four 500 cfm carbs = 2000 cfm...running four 750 cfm carbs = 3000 cfm, and maybe bore & stroke it...If you think about it wouldn't be that much more different that a big cube Pro-Stock motor with two big dominators on top of a tunnel-ram.

Found another old shot from the K&K Insurance team...check out the motor mounts.

Does anyone know how many of these exotic manifolds were made?

I think the spark plug tube spacing makes it obvious. I don't know of another head that the plugs are paired like that. The newer Chrysler Hemi heads like the PS and PST heads have the center cylinders paired together and the ends spread apart.

Nope. It was a quess. Looked at the tube spacing & valve cover attatchment. Couldn't have been any production Hemi
