Original hemi dart information

Daryl (Part VIII),
In the Dart photo from 1980 or so). The Dart has 12' slicks fitted neatly within the rear fenderwells with Centerline wheels. The front has
Ansen mags.
As for the Hemi engine. I do remember helping my father disassemble
the block. Not sure if it was bored out or not. But it came with a
Milodon oil pan unit and 12.5-1 Chrysler pistons. One thing that stuck in my mind was the heavy-slugs. My father still believes it was an early 68'
factory Hemi block (period correct for the 68' Hemi A-bombs)). The 426 Hemi engine (long block, minus the cross-ram) ended up in the hands of his friend Jerry. My father kept the 440.
Both my father and Jerry were close friends with Lou Vignogna.

Jerry was closer.
