Doug, The one thing with a hemi, they cost a lot, but when sold they bring good money. A nice 4k sbc will get you maybe 1500 when sold (maybe) but a 5k hemi will sell for 3-4k pretty easily, that is if you can get it built for the 5k. but most of all it appears you are doing something you are passionate about, which adds fun to the project, something that shows when the project is done. You can put that hemi on a little bit of a diet with some aluminum accessories from Hot Heads also. Have fun! Matt

I like that plan, Matt - thanks!
