Is your back aching from lifting all of those Hemi pieces? The heads alone have to weigh 150 lbs each. What is the entire engine, like 700 lbs?
I really do like the early hemis. To me, nothing is cooler than to look in a rod and seeing those massive valve covers staring back at you. I know the new hemis are great and all, but the first series just have a certain mistique about them, and I include all of them from the first ones all the way up to the 426's in that group.
Mike, I bet you find parts both new and used are a little expensive though.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
