if the motherfucker spends 26k on the engine then why the hell doesnt he splurge and spend the extra couple thousand and make it an efi setup?? Accel sells a complete conversion kit using ford 5-0h injectors for mopar big blocks...Im sure others like motec and holly prolly do too.

but yes GODDAMN thats a sweet engine.

Can I just sit on the distribur ? JFWY But Hell 17k for a Ray Barton hell yeah!!!! That guy is the King of Hemis That man has put many Barracudas in the 8s. I believe in the SS/SA class.
I dont think that the EFI could keep up with the demands of that Hemi It prolly would need 2 injectors per cylinder. Plus you would have to get an Electric Fuel Pump not to mention all the wires and computer you would need to add in. Also this engine is prolly built for a specific class of racing that would keep him from putting EFI on it. The EFI kits I have seen for Mopars require alot of piecing together and no manifolds are made for em. You have to get the intake drilled for the injectors.

Plus carbs are more fun... ;)

nothing like a good afternoon spent cursing at the floats as you try to adjust them to the perfect height... *sigh*

Hell yeah I miss that car at least when it was running right... if it was running ok I would not have sold it...

I really want an old car again I am still deciding on wether Id like a big ass drop top to cruise in or a a-body-ish car to drop a big block in... ya know what I mean?

Or maybe I can just get the big car and make it fast as hell too... 440s arent THAT expensive to build up :)
