[quote=Dragula]And put a boring run of the mill motor in, just to have more time enjoying driving the car vs. all the maintenance and bad manners?

Been trying to find a happy medium on the Hemi for years. Looking to make ok power, but still be able to drive it all over...I have to say, its been a fight. Still not sure I found it since the wiring burned up the day we got the new Hemi in the car, and I haven't put a single mile on it this year... [/quote
]my left over parts would build what you want, on steroids. The ported 440-1 heads that made 926 hp, a megablock combo that has 580 cubic inchs, Jesel 1.7 rockers, and two very long duration roller cams i could have reground. With e85 and twelve to one compression, and cammed for max torque at 4,000 to 4500 it should be a brute wanting a 3.55 gear and tight eleven inch converter. Max rpm could be 6200
And maybe make 700 hp?
