Somebody (Messr.'s Bennett and Widuch) did their homework!!!  LOL!
I think this may be the motor -type that was in a notorious MoPar station wagon back in the '70s or '80s, called "THE BEHEMOTH." Could be wrong about that...
I also seem to remember that it was never an assembly-line option; just an NHRA-legal "dealer-installed-option" from years and years, ago...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this could have been the original "paper car" engine.

It was originally a POLICE CAR engine option in 62.
