Interesting! So Dick Bradshaw of bulldog fame has actually gotten his block cast? And M.M. Was part of it getting finished? If it's the same Dick! The old coot still owes me a set of valve covers and a valley plate. Wonder if the Buick crowd financed him!!!???

I know of at least one in addition to the one listed that has already been built and on the dyno. It is a Hemi and in my old 65 Belvedere running NSS

This isn't an actual "Mopar" product though, right?
This is "the block", joint venture between MM and several mystery investors, right?
After the whole debacle with Dalton Foundry and Royal Oak Boring, they should really be looking for a new home for the Chrysler tooling.

Any pics of one of these motors built? Hopefully he is not mad about this but here goes. There are quite a few really from bare block up, just not sure if he wants his stuff here. Made 850+hp IIRC. Will be in the old red 65 Belvedere we did a few years ago. Stepping up in NSS classes with the new bullet for sure..

Kinda wish I would have kept it but I have had a few cars I wish I would have kept. Was just a mundane 440 when we had it, went low 11's in Vegas. I picked it up with the intention of selling it. We painted it, had the interior panels and seat redone tidy up some small things and ran it at one race, where it R/U'ed Then on the sale block it went. Had it on here for a few months and just kept getting low balled and beat up about it. Was just a summer project for my son and I. Jim the new owner has done pretty well with it and it was in Dragzine article after he got it.
