I thought I knew about mopars and now I'm starting to realize I need to give the small blocks alot more attention. That's badass, If he did modify the block and lifter bores to put them at a better angle... well that's my kinda heroI wonder if that’s a Glidden block? Everything I have always read said he cut out the 59 degree lifter bores and welded them back in at 48 degrees.
I think I heard it was to much to get Chrysler to cooperateI seem to remember that when he stopped running Mopars, He said because it was too much work to get them to run.

Its about the money.

The exhaust ports are about the only way you would recognize these as W2s.
