Hemi Yes or No

Just an update will be putting motor together with the stock cast heads for now, should be fine, got a little suprise when I tore into the rear this weekend someone had mig welded the sleve behind the bearing and heated the axel, so much for those axels. I also needed to get a new fuel tank because it was leaking, and of course all the appropriate other parts sending unit gaskets and such. In the end my quick cheap update to my rearend will cost around 4k instead of $1500.00 but thats updating the ladder bars, adding coil overs, back bracing Dana, new axels, new 31x12.5 Hooser Pro Street tires, so at least I will know what I have back there.

I have been contimplating Stage V Heads but I will wait on them for a while since I still have plenty of spending to do on the other bits to put this project together.

Motor will be .045 over 9.5 to 1 compression, eagle rods, Diamond pistons, cast Heads (stock), custom cam, inline MP intake with Edelbrock carbs, new ARP bolts. Should be a nice little street Hemi. Shooting for around 475 - 500hp with @ 550tq, cam will be setup with out much overlap so as to keep this thing from cooking the headers and my feet.

Progress is being made, just slowly but I think my engine guy will be getting it done soon so he dosen't have me changing my mind any more. OOps I don't know why I have been so wishy washey on this motor, I guess I keep seeing all these big nasty motors running around here and it gets my brain spinning. Its all good just need to get back to basics and finish this thing.
