I built the 517 in my Charger as an Homage and a Tribute to Gary, only about a week before he passed away he told me he wanted to build a stroker low deck with Max Wedge heads for his challenger, we talked about all the details of the build and I built my motor about the exact same way we discussed doing it.

When I fired it up the first time, I said "This one's for you, Gary!"

And it lit off on the first hit of the starter, and when I was throttling it up I could swear I could feel him smiling down on me. True story!

I would love to have a custom cast valve cover set made with a cnc engraving of the Michigan Unlawfl license plate on it.
