We sold it to someone in Staten Island in 1982 He put a 440 6 pack in the car later.
The hardtop car was a partnership effort With Fred (Dick) Smith It ran A/SA most of the time. We did try a 383 but were unhappy with the results. It wound up with a 440 6 pack in it and is still being raced in Division 1.
We did the motors for a couple of other hemi stockers Mike Masgistro, and Mark Wollf.
Everyone of our cars has won at least one NHRA National event.

Artie,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
"We sold it to someone in Staten Island in 1982 He put a 440 6 pack in the car later"
That's the guy, Dom Burris (Burreis?).
Yes, I remember Magistro's car. I didn't know it had a C & L Hemi in it.

I don't recall seeing that car run. The only pic I saw of it was in an early-1980s issue of Super Stock & Drag Illustrated featuring an article on you guys. And that reminds me, I believe it was in that same issue, SS & DI was supposed to feature an upcoming article about a turbocharger installation on your Dodge(?) station wagon tow car's engine. However, it was never published. How'd that work out, i.e. turbo?
