Well, I don't chime in very much, but this thread irritates me.
Give credit where credit is due.
That 426 Hemi base plate for the N94 hood on a 1970 red Hemi
Challenger, auto car was sold to Mark Ainsworth, in IIRC Luling Texas
It was April of 1984, He called Me up the last day of March
It was a Saturday, I had just picked up a 71 RT, FC7
Challenger, shaker hood, rear rubber bumper, 383 auto on the floor
That morning.
He called Me that afternoon and offered me the 1970
Hemi Cuda, lime green, original 4 gear car, shaker hood was
There. But no scoop.
He offered to trade this project car, to me for the TA Hemi base plate
And air cleaner lid. I didn't do it. But passed it to Alan Vaset
In Dallas, and told Him if He would sell the R code Hemi Cuda
Project to Alan, and have Alan send me a cashier check, to let Alan
Get the Hemicuda. The previous story of getting a Base on this
From Terry McCann is not true.
I bought the base plate from Al McDonald in Jersey.
It kills Me how these stories are do full of crap.
One reason I don't stay active in the hobby.
Terry McCann can vouch for my Honest

I was the first plain old Hemi Owner that got the 3418 652
Hemi Shaker base plates remade by Fram in the summer
Of 1980, and sold them for cost to people needing one.
$ 63.75 plus shipping
No profit, it was not about money. It was about helping People
Get Their car restored. Also, off the top of my head,
Dave Blake knows me
Pat Blais
Roland, now gone
Mike Crawford
Ola knows me.
It is funny how stories are not factual.
Also. I have know Rick Olczak for 40 plus years.

On the N94, Six Pack 1970 Challenger, they made one I know
Of. It was about 50 miles north of Columbus, Ohio.
It has since been sold, and last I knew it was in
Michigan.
I will do some checking.
All I ask is Be Honest and tell the Truth.
I will Help anyone.
