The pic above was modified (Why Aruzza would customize a piece of history like that is beyond me ) Change the internals, paint it up like a big block chevy, toss the original competition series thermoquad carb in favor of a Holley, toss the original air cleaner and other original external componants, I simply do not get it! 5872996-A279_BallStudHemi_1_Lg.jpg (1651 downloads)

I've always thought someone would take one of these ball stud Hemi motors and build up a 72 Hemi Cuda, 72 Hemi Challenger, 72 Hemi Roadrunner, or 72 Hemi Charger Rallye. You'd have to agree that one of those would look just plain awesome installed in one of those cars. I read something several years ago that John Arruzza was going to put one of these into a 68-69 Barracuda, so did he ever do that?

He put one in the Tom Hoover small block notchback Cuda. Nautilus Racing- We use Superformance gaskets and Turbo Action converters/products.

Moparnut426 I Live Here Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 12,008 Finally a HUSKER again	I could never understand why Dick basically down graded a hemi by taking out the rocker shafts whick in theory are more stable and put the crappy old ball stud chevy set up on the engine. And how did Dick manage to cast a complete set of totally different heads to bolt on the mopar RB block? Totally amazing what that man did. I have a few pictures of that thing when I was at the Walter P museum a few years back, I has a gold anodized plaque that states what it is on the valve cover. Wierd lookin, but cool. Kasey

Kasey Dick Landy didn't cast the heads or design them for that matter. Chrysler did all that. Dick just did further R&D on it after Chrysler was done.

Also, the block was specific to that engine because the bottom row of cylinder bolts were spaced further apart to make room for the exhaust ports. I've always wondered if it would have had the Hemi's clackety clack exhaust note or one of a lame Chevy. OIF V and OEF X veteran and proud of it!
