You have quite a few options? A strong 360 would be an obvious choice for "best bang for the buck", dress it all up to impress the bettys...? A 440 would entail more work, you could toss in a fairly stout 440 and impress with the power. A Hemi is great if money isn't a big concern, but it ...

Well, that's MY KINDA TRUCK!!!!!

LOL!

Any more pics of the truck, engine compartment with the 440, or? Do you have a website?

Whats the car again?

LOL!
Half my car was held up at one time or another by wood!
The car is a 1940 Plymouth Businessman's Coupe, I *hope* to have running next summer!

Well, I went with 3 1/2" 16 gauge mandrels, I tossed an "X" pipe in, a couple 2 chamber Delta Force Flowmasters, and it should be able to exit right out the rear. I've seen all sorts of claims of "X" pipe power increases, but I know first-hand that they SOUND "different...

Pretty impressive!
Now, let's get them going back after the SS/AA too!
LOL!

Nice looking truck!!!!!!!

Any more info on the truck? Crate Hemi, or..?

Well, the headers are finished....




Now onto the exhaust!!!!!!!

We have two local 5.0 style Mustangs that are street legal and running in the 7's.

Thanks Centerline!

Does a LA 318/340/360 distributor bolt into a 354 Hemi?

My brother has a 354 and wants to run an electronic ignition, I was wondering what the best route to go would be?

>>>>>>>>>BTW Crazy Mopar, Those are some SICK Headers. <<<<<<<<<

Ummmmmmmm?
Meaning... what?

HUH!?!?! My headers are for a stroker 426 style Hemi in a 1940 Plymouth. What are you talking about?!?! The "designer of the Hemi exhaust manifold"? Who do you think that is? The Hemi has been around for decades and decades.... The stock exhaust manifold on a performance Hemi is one of the...

I'm surprised how fast these new Hemi trucks are. They seem to be on par with an R/T Dakota, or..? Pretty impressive!

Is the engine running so you can hear/test it, or apart so you can inspect it?
What would you put the engine in if you did do the trade? Do you have a shell, or?

Driver's side mocked up after final fit........

Here's a photoshopped version to remove the tape so you can tell what they should look like when done....

I went with Ray Barton. The quality of workmanship is why, I think he does a more thorough job of building a piece of precision machinery than one could imagine. The TIME he takes is another matter, I was told 6 weeks, but it ended up being 10 months+, which wasn't ALL his fault. The run around I wa...

Here is a buddy's Duster running at Mission Raceways.
His car is a STREET LEGAL, street driven Hemi Duster. He is presently building a car that should be about a second QUICKER than this beauty...

NOBODY! :lol: I designed the flanges and had them made out of 3/8" steel, I bought the "U" and "J" bends, and the collectors are available all over the place. The pipe is 16 gauge, which is heavier than the 18 gauge that Hooker sells. I still have to make my EFI's O2 sensor ...

What's your engine going into Tweety? Another local guy I know here has a Barton 572 Hemi, it's the engine on Rance Baxter's site. He has Accel DFI and 10.5 to 1 compression, he pulled 894 horsepower on Barton's dyno. Both our engines are going into street cars. His a 1968 GTX and mine a 1940 Plymou...

Anybody got THESE headers...? LOL! I'm gonna make my own, 2 1/8" primaries into 3 1/2" collectors. I've got 3/8" flanges and collector rings, 16 gauge mandrels, and not much space. http://www.crazymoparguy.homestead.com/files/headerspieces2.jpg http://www.crazymoparguy.homestead.com/f...

Well, I got my engine. My quoted price was $16,500 U.S. for the long block, no intake. It turned out to be $18,500 U.S. with shipping included.

I'll be hopefully getting it running this summer, and see what it's like.

LOL! Whaddya wanna know? It's a stroker- Barton built, it has a very mild hydraulic cam, Accel sequential DFI, it pulled just under 600 horsepower with only 32 degrees of timing and almost no tuning and it's going to get the living *you know what* beaten out of it once it's up and running! It's goin...

Well, I'm hoping the wait was worth it.

My neighbour heard of the rocker adjusting screw problems, and he phoned Cummins. They told him there was a defective batch, hardened improperly, and after he bitched they sent him a completely new set of screws and jam nuts. Free.

My neighbour directly across the street is selling his never fired 472 crate Hemi.
The 528 Hemis had siamese bore blocks, which have had some intermittent ring sealing problems, so I was told?
Barton gave me a "6 week" estimate as well, he has been 7 MONTHS!
