Please don't give me any more bad ideas. I was so close to putting a 7.3 powerstroke or my 5.9 common rail cummins in it. I just finally decided that I needed 1 spark plug vehicle and the 40 is an iconic rod, so it needs an iconic engine. The hemi.

No, in reality, I have 1 car with a long 6cyl diesel and I don't drive it much at all because it is harder for me to get in it and see out of it. And the family can't go with you, so it just sets. I can't bring myself to do that with the 40. Once it's together again, I have every intention of daily driving it until the white crap flies. (Just like before I tore it down to un rig it) Then spend more money on it to build a stout engine during the winter.
