And in the same “make my own version” My next build is going to be a SS style 68 valiant. Just how they never built a notch hurst.
I like ur car, looks well done , and pretty .
But , there were no hurst notch backs , all fast backs -------------
Damn, you mean no one tried to shove a hemi in the back of a notch back?I like ur car, looks well done , and pretty .

Just might be pretty lite !! LOLNo Hemi under glass for a Notch. Sorry haha
??? let me think ? I know where there's an Olds. Toranado "damn spell check not working" front wheel drive !
Hum, I got a 392 I can build ? adapter plate ? maybe can make ?
YEP, Maybe in the Works !!!! Anything Is possible , when you drive a Mopar !!!
Just not sure how the frontend steering and such will handle without the block weight ? Trial & Error !!!
Ok, back at the ranch !
1975 440 truck block .
At the time . All i could find was a cast crank 440 truck block that was in good enough condition that i did not have to bore or sleeve !
So after a good hot tank & cleaning , hone job etc. Forged piston, float pins. New rings, bearings, 488/252 purple cam i believe. Double roller timing chain. High volume oil pump. 1967 - 915 CC heads all done up new!
New valves, seals, double springs , stock rockers. Push rods. etc. etc.etc.
Let see, am i leaving anything out ?
Damn I wanted a forged steel crank , but could not find one at the time . So i went with what i had !
Ok then, 10.5 Bell housing, flywheel , McLeod clutch/PP/TO bearing , 833 4speed. I have 3 of them so i did not mind cutting the tip off the input shaft . As we all know, most cast crank later model 440 are auto. Or at least this one was ! And don't have deep pilot hole.
Tried many different intakes and dif. shifters
Still not sure yet ?

Looks great...who cares if Hurst never made a notch version.
We"ll see what we can do ! LOLHa ha, and i might need a 68 grille and 150 mph speedo cluster ?
GK is kool,It's like George Kennedy's character Frazier said in Cahill US Marshall "You gotta allow a man his illusions" LMAO Yours is a good illusion.
