Maybe this coffin can finally get nailed shut soon…
It won't. I posted it earlier and somebody was already talking about how it's not the same since they have ported heads/intake and it's a Magnum not an LA.
Every excuse in the book will be thrown at them.Oh wait no it definitely works on a 318 with 3, 4 barrel carbs. Or a hemi with 18:1 compression, it works real good then. This test can’t be true or accurate because the air wasn’t 73 degrees and the dyno operator didn’t have spaghetti for dinner.
Yup. I can’t wait to hear em all. Or maybe we’ll just hear silence. That’d be nice.Every excuse in the book will be thrown at them.

...who here would tear down their stock LA...you must have a lot of time on your hands if you'd tear down a running and driving engine...
yeah I am a fan of Dick Landy, I met him once at Carlisle, he was standing next to a hemi dart and I said, "man I bet that car hauls ***..." he said " yea I had alot of fun in it..." I am a fan of basically any of those pro stock 4 speed guys even Grumpy and he was a Chevy guy. But yes more info on Landy would be good for posterity.Not for this reason, but there's a neat article from 1966 where Dick Landy took delivery of a '66 Dart GT 273 four barrel auto and the editor of Hot Rod took delivery of an identical car. First thing Landy did was tear the 273 down to blueprint. Turns out this (allegedly) Friday afternoon engine had 7 105 pistons and ONE 8.8...
After mods and tuning the two met to see which car was faster. If I remember correctly, Landy beat the editor by around a second in the 1/4 mile. I'll have to dig the mag out and scan it one of these days.
You'll turn blue!Don't hold your breath.
