Honestly if I thought I could get good money for my Predator I would have already done it I was where you are at now Al about 2 years ago.And I got an offer I could not refuse,but it was the hardest thing I have ever done it my life but now after 2 years I know it was the smartest thing I have ever done. Like me I know you know a few people who would like to have your Mopar engines,bite the bullet and take a small loss now and you will be much better off with your racing program this time next year.

Steve Parrish races a 55 Chevy with BB Mopar power. Nice guy, has beat me a couple of times. I should have just not even lined with him and saved the fuel He's good. I asked him one time why that combo. As I recall, Steve said back in late 60s??? he had the wagon with no motor and a fury with a good 383 and the rest was history http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCPhoto.asp?ID=240163 Sworn Member Central Valley MoPar Drag Pack.

I can buy a 6.4 crate motor now for cheaper than what it costs just for parts to rebuild a 3 rotor. Exactly the car I was thinking about.. Hows the rear suspension on those? Pretty tunable, lots of parts to make it a drag racer or a road racer. The diff is fairly tough, I did blow one up with a dog box and sticky tires.

Thats a fairly common swap, and also a fairly common point of failure. The Last long high speed corner of our road racing track has claimed a lot of LS motor main and rod bearings, hence why I would want to try a Hemi. The rotary makes a ton of power, and has a much more reliable oiling system, its just the availability and cost of parts that is the downer, especially for the 3 rotors.
