Is that a HEMI under that cover?
"Yeah! It's got a Hemi.".........Just like the one in your digger.........almost! :-)
I lost touch with that side of the family, so I don't know what size it was.
they probably retired to Arizona----out by where all those old planes are
10,000 military planes stored in Tucson. All boys love old war planes! Got to see a lot of them this year, including a B17 that flew over the house. :-)
If you colorized the picture it would look like today, we are driving those same cars, or I should say some of you guys are. Some of us are just just leaning on them in the garage. Nice picture.

Looks like you were tuning it to run on the low end on one engine bank, and on the high end on the other.....genius! (Just kidding! Looks like someone had the injector stacks off of one side.)
them stacks were modify with tall boy beer cans to make them taller
