"The seller had this real 426 built with expensive internals for racing although he says he never got around to racing it. It has been dyno'd at 471 horsepower. He believes it would run 9's in stock trim."

"Seller" is living on another planet... If that Hemi only made 471 HP he needs a better engine builder. And if he thinks it will run in the 9's with only 471 HP then that Dart only weighs about 2000 pounds... unlikely, ya think?

"The actual Hemi engine featured a pair of Holley carbs on a magnesium cross-ram intake. Iron heads (instead of aluminum) were used to keep the cost down."

Chrysler had aluminum Hemi heads in 1968?

Cool car but the article is full of crap.
