Winter time model building thread.

Thanks! I'm an odd ball that way.....I just like the odd ends type stuff ,always have on just about everything or so it seems!

As for what it is, its an easier made (then) Hemi that has no rocker shaft inside the top or well under the valve cover, and has like a "Chevy" (I hate that word) set up as far as the rockers themself go.... Was something said to ease the manufacturing issues of making a Hemi motor in the process, as it isn't the easiest design to mass produce! And back then due to that, was to eliminate both the Wedge and the actual "Hemi" type motors, be the best of both worlds so they thought....IF I read the article correctly, there were to be 2 of them, for an ad I seen, a 404 I think and the 444. The 444 is the only one that exsts if I remember wehat I read correctly, BUT it has a discrepancy, its not 444 C.I.D. as they had to bore it a bit as the block had gotten pitted over the years as the motor was stored, NOT together, and that made boring plausible, and bumped the C.I.D. up to I think it was said to a 450 C.I.D.

Needless to say, a VERY interesting motor! The only part with my model not to scale in real life, is the fact I'm putting the model into a 67 Charger, NOT a 67 Barracuda!
