Oh and dad never really cared for the Hemis. He always told me that a well tuned wedge would beat a Hemi... Now I know that to not alway is the case but that was dad.. he loves the wedge..

I have been able to make a lot more power on the DTS engine dyno with a wedge than a hemi with similar C.I and compression Besides who wants to impress peolpe with looks when you can blow thier doors off with a "Lesser" motor Take the money it will cost you to convert to the hemi and buy some better parts for the wedge, good iron race block B1 heads, bigger carbs and or a better intake or

$ for $ you're not going to beat a wedge. Not saying it's a "better motor, just that for the avg Joe, with new aluminum heads and cams and so on, a wedge will run with any Hemi for 1/2 - 2/3rds the money.

Okay so now I have a game plan with the motor, what kinda numbers do you think it will run ?? 543 with max ported -1 tunnel ram two 1050s ahh dont know which cam but it will be a roller ? Its run a best of 9.79 with a 500" unported heads..

I forgot to include buying a better cast iron race block on my first post on this,sorry So that being said buy a after market 4.500 bore cast iron block and used the crankshaft you have now and go for it 572 C.I., easy 850 HP + with two good 1050 Dominators
