"gen 3 hemi swap with a kenne bell blower and tremec 6 speed" not cheap is an understatment. I'm guessing the blower alone is like 6k. He could build a 10 second BB for that alone.
It doesnt have to have a blower at all, I just know that if I built a car that way, I would want one. Yes, it would be pricey with that blower. Yes, a BB would be cheaper and nothing wrong with doing it that way, but he did say he wanted some decent type of fuel economy. Ain't gonna happen with a carb'd 900 lb BB.
6-pack and a 4 speed and right gear will get him well over 15mpg (probably 20 w/ the new OD 833) I get about 15 hwy at 60mph and that's with 3.91's and an auto.
"but you have a Chevrolet hood scoop on your car, whats the difference......"
because I still have a mopar engine and I needed the clearance, IMO there's no GOOD hood scoop for a 68-70 Charger, so I went with what flowed best w/ the body lines. Gonna jam up a 'cuda guy for a shaker? I mean Furd had them 1st.
