Paul, but they were available in a few '68 base Dodge models that snuck out of the factory...

Why would you do that much work and then put the "HEMI" emblem in the wrong place?

Moose,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yes,,,,,,,,,,,,,I'm sure a few 'Factory-Back-Door-Sneaker-Outers' found their way to some 'special racers'.......

Maybe some 'police interceptors',,,,,,,,,,Belvedere and Coronets with a
440/375 HP 'Super Commando',,,,,,

Fleet Order Only cars,,,,,,,,,,

On the 426 HEMI, never saw a 1968 Belvedere or Satellite with the 'Street Hemi', I'm pretty sure that engine
was 'only' reserved for the Road Runner and/or GTX.
