Opinions on 71 Demon Clone for sale
As an update to the group, I bought an issue of the August 09 Mopar Muscle magazine to see what's in the write up. It looks like they just assumed it's a 340, calling it a "70s era 340." The engine work was done in Ontario Canada by Competition Automotive (could make sense for the VIN "R" plant, Windsor). I looked them up & they appear to be closed as of fairly recently. Looking up their address & reading Google reviews, everything points to a Doug. I try searching for Doug from CA in Ontario, & an article comes up from Nash Engines saying that Doug from CA has joined their team. Emailed them the block & VIN plate photos along with some of the car, asking if Doug could take a look & see if he remembers or give a true "expert" opinion on the matter.
Some good details in the article: 4.11 sure grip, Strange axles, 10.5 compression JE pistons, Eagle rods, Hughes cam, 445 crank hp. Exhaust used to be out the side ahead of the rear wheels, & the aftermarket tach & gauges aren't there. Otherwise the same as the article. Curious what I hear back from Doug.
