eBay Prototype ball-stud Hemi

2nd time it's been on ebay.

Mopar Muscle did a write up on them a while ago. If I remember right it was designed to go into the A-bodies, there were 2 built, one went to Landy to "borrow", ma mopar forgot about it then remembered and wanted it back Landy kinda conned mopar out of it and got it. He kept it in his museum all these years until he sold it to John Arruzza. I can't remember what happened to the other one.

I have the issue I just can't remember what date it was.

Here is another article on it.

Just remembered one of them ended up in a notchback cuda, did a search and found this...

"12 Tom Hoover 1CGodfather of the legendary Chrysler HEMI engine. Hoover was also involved in designing the next generation of the 426 hemi engine. He built the famous ball stud hemi motor that disappeared for over 20 years. John Arruzza discovered the motor and rebuilt it. John also purchased Tom1&s 1&69 440 Barracuda and installed the ball stud motor in the vehicle. Be there as Tom is reunited with his ball stud hemi motor and his original Barracuda."


One of the mopar mags did a write up on the cuda with the motor in it.
