Original hemi dart information

OK, so my engine is finally done and here (still to be installed), and the new A&A transmission and converter are on their way, also. Wheelie bars are being figured out..not much room on a narrowed Dana, but should be able to get things figured out exactly, when the drivetrain is all installed and the suspension is loaded more.

Here are a few photos, including a copy of the Dyno. Keep in mind, this is with just the MP cross ram, no sheet-metal intake (I wanted more of an original look for this original LO car). Also, I told him I just may want to take this out on the street occasionally, so Tim Banning went with more of what he considers his "Pro Street" cam; not the usual valvetrain-killing SuperStock cam setup that wouldn't be nearly as well-suited for street use. Tim thought the engine would be near the 1050 hp range as is with JUST a change to his sheet metal intake.

I am so bummed that I waited all summer, and now (here in South Dakota) I won't get a chance to try this out until next May/June... but I bet it will be worth the wait. Unfortunately, that's also probably about when my new Demon will arrive, so I will have two cars to get figured out.
