1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

I'd guess no less than 35k, probably closer to 45.

Edit: labor ranges from $120-170 an hour around me, depending on shop.

The hemi is what's throwing me off, I know what they cost to buy, but no idea on a rebuild, I assume it's considerably more than a 440.

Either way, awesome build and story, I've been following it from the beginning. Your mother in law(?) still doesn't know right?

Thanks. One big issue are shops around to do this kind of work, they don't exist. Hemi in an A-body is the big difference as well. If we had thrown a 340 back in there nowhere near the amount of custom fabrication and modifications to get everything to work properly. The Hemi parts are expensive, lucky we were able to find what we needed for the rebuild.

Yes my MIL still has no clue............... :thumbsup:
