Interesting stuff. Now i wish i hadn't aborted my hemi plans a couple years ago. When i think about how much money that blower project would have (realistically) ended up costing, i probably could have scrounged up enough pieces to put a hemi together. Maybe i should think about this...

Far as i know, all i need for a low-budget 426 hemi is a used block, heads, valvetrain, covers and intake, yes? Anything else is just stuff i'd have to buy new for my lowdeck project anyways (pistons, rods, headers, cam, etc.)... Hell, even some old hemi parts and 440 parts thrown together making 500+ would be a cool starting point for my lil Challenger...

I'm sure some people here have put together relatively cheap hemis from time to time. Heh heh... and yes, i realize that "cheap hemi" is a fairly ridiculous term. Still, Hmmm...

One thing to keep in mind when deciding what to build, anyone can make a wedge motor run good with the right parts( I do )Not everyone knows what good hemi parts(or what they look like ) are and what bad hemi parts are (including myself) Not all 426 Hemi, wedges or SB Mopars run the same Besides, it's a lot more fun whupping a Hemi car with a wedge motor(especially with a six pak) than it is whupping a wedge car with a Hemi motor Sorry, I couldn't resist
