I've had this so long I was Bob Walkers first international customer!,he's since bought out hemi specialists,"hot heads".If you need Hemi info it's real easy today,Just give hot heads a visit on their site and ask away.
These engines are great,the quality of the castings and factory machining is an indication of a company that had just finished building aircraft engines for the US airforce.To run an early 331 is simple,run a modern Hydraulic cam,higher comp pistons,electronic dizzy,Hot heads intake,and hi volume oil pump.I run a small block chrysler double row timing chain also.
The sheer size of even the "small" 331 is enough to impress the import jap kids...
The rest of the car is pretty neat,in the photo I'm running a 23 "t" bucket body.but it was too small,over 120mph the wind lifts the whole car in the air ,not a pleasent feeling!
So about 10 years ago i tracked down a geuine dirt track roadster which had a steel 26 chev tourer body cut into a roadster.BOB style.
I've used that body ,after removing all the roll bars etc from my chassis and the dirt tracker(so i could get the body off!)
I made the big mistake of junking the dirt chassis ,it was model A with 34 beam and splits on the front,a real early Falcon diff mounted with a T spring and V8 split wishbone.the tank was a square '24 chev item.I'm using a round alloy tank from a speed boat,has a cool quick release filler.
At the moment the whole deal is in peices so i can get it street registered.
