Very rare and I think only a few were produced. There was an article in Mopar Muscle a few years ago.

Cool piece, but IIRC they were 318's. Better check it closely.

the first thing i do is polish the block then a nice billet crank and carrillo rods hydraulic roller and ported large port commando heads with jesel valvetrain mp fuel injected m1 intake. want between 400-500 hp nothing crazy except the internals have to be bullet proof! can't take a chance of blowing this one up.
