OK, one more detail,and will have enough info to keep me occupied until I can afford a Hemi, or I gack...whichever comes first. On the basis of what I have been told here, (and it all seems to be pretty good mostly first hand experience),is it safe to say that my thinking bigger cubic inch is better with even a stock or "legend" Hemi head, up to a point? Seems like the flow #s I've seen over the years support this (within reason),as it looks like you would be good up to 500" easily? I often thought the Hemi really would have been even more spectacular in NASCAR at 500", without that pesky 7 liter limit.(And some incredibly violent and mortal crashes at upwards of 250MPH, no doubt) Final thoughts,guys?
Yeah ... i agree with the flow #s supporting 500 cubes, maybe a bit more. 7 litre limit didn't stop the high speed handling/tire problems in the mid/late 60's, it magnified it. Motors were making power, chassis and tire science barely could keep up back then.
