Original hemi dart information

I don't get to this site as much as I would like (I am not supposed to use my work computer, even on my own time or at lunch) but I saw Paul's post with the blow-up proof Ramchargers engine that Rick Kent put in his dart. Tim and Bob had a Ramchargers engine in their Wild Fire Dart when I first went to work at Town and Country Dodge in 1969. shortly before they sold the car (1970?) they broke an exhaust valve destroying the cylinder head and the piston in that hole. They re-installed the original Hemi, and that was the engine in the car when they sold it. They let me keep the intake valve from the cylinder that went bad; it had a hole punched through the valve head between the stem and the rim. I wish I had kept track of it, I think it was tossed out when my parents moved. They later repaired the Ramchargers engine and built an early Dart (1964?) gasser. But that is another story.
