what it actually was and what it said on paper are two different things. even the 10.5 to 1 motors weren't actually 10.5 to 1 because of the sloppy *** machine work that was don't on the motors. go knows where legit hp was. hell we did a 383 a few years ago and one side of the deck was 15 thousands higher then the other. this was an original owner car. the motor was never out of the car. i bet the ***** was lick to be 9 to 1.
I agree with you, some MoPar's were great and others failed quickly. MoPar was noted for experimental work for sure. But that's why us gear heads and wing nuts love em. Sometimes it's what is it going to take, a bigger hammer:fart:
