I'm really the same way if I could get a crack at him well you know how it would end.

 

[HemiDenny]

ahhhh yes...at good ol Milan,Michigan.......been down there a time or two....back in the mid '70s....probably about the same time your Dad(68 HEMI GTS) raced there.....can't think of Milan without thinking of July 5, 1977.....

[HemiMark]

In the evening at my hotel. Looking out the door of my room at Clyde
Hodges servicing Don Carlton's Hemi Colt. Less than a month after winning
the Comp title at the Springnationals, Carlton would die when he crashed
this car in a testing accident at Milan, Michigan July 5. He was my hero.

IMO
I'll never understand running an 833 stick with ANY KIND of real power ?

Just a bunch of broken Shiat over time ? and SLOWER than an Auto/Convertor PERIOD !

Bin There, Done THAT !

No wars wanted, just my opinion.

You've broken A833's? !!!

 

[stroked 340]

:sign5::sign5: STICK TO THE STREET!!!

 

[HemiDenny]

broken 833's...wonder what Ronnie Sox or Don Carlton would say to that?....maybe they didn't have the power your sportin' though........Huhhhhh??

 

[HemiDenny]

don't get me wrong...autos are nice...my sister,mom, and grandparents have em'....Mopar to ya'...SORRY, I couldn't help it ...I know auto's are very,very fast...I just couldn't resist

I agree it's all about the fun factor on the street.

 

[Mr Hemi]

I'd still run a big cube Hemi on the street. But our Daytona car with 380 cubes still runs a 8.61 161 MPH. Not bad for a small block single four barrel. Enough said. LOL.

I agree small blocks can be very very fast!!!!! but like you said Hemi still the motor of choice for the street. It's got a mad rep.

 

[HemiDenny]

In my book...anyone with Hemi in his name...you can take what they say to the bank....Mopar to ya',Mr HEMI

 

[Old Man Mopar]

I know someone who has a 10 second Neon.

Would I want to take it to cruise night? No.

 

[Mr Hemi]

Neon LOL

 

[Mr Hemi]

Hemi not a new one is the only real engine. Not some stupid LS-7

 

[old mopars]

I could not make up my mind whether to go big or small block. My solution; build two a body cars, one with a 340 and one with a 500 stroker.
Regarding big block wedge or hemi. If I did not spread myself so thin, I would have gone with the Hemi. There is nothing like a Hemi. WOW factor, GO factor and Adrenaline Rush factor. It's about as much fun as you can have without being a felon.
