Come to australia the stuffyou see here will blow you away,pre ebay anyway.
My only cross breed was my one and only serious street racer,a General Motors Holden LC Torana 2door,265 hemi 6,15inch engine set back(drive shaft was shorter rhan the valve cover!4inch bore stroked out to 286inch(orignal eng 186 in)3x45mm webbers 904,holden oil and breather caps welded into the hemi valve cover painted holden rocket red.Car was pald blue toyota crown hub caps stained glass religous stickers on the windows rosary beads on the rear vision mirror.Totally illegal engine conversion but you would be surprised how many people didn't see the swap,or want to race it cause 186 torrana ain't fast!Only ran 13.00@110 in 1990 full street trim but on the street it was pretty much untouchable by any asperated big or small block any make.A mate had a LH L34 HO TORRANA that car woud top 250kph/120 in 1st gear we did a rolling start from 60kmh saw 9000rpm in top befor he went past me he said he saw 225 kmh as he went by.Just typing this brings back real good memories.If i can get anothder little torrie i'll do another and being i'm not as dumb as i was at 19 it's a 10 sec combo with whats avaliable now.When out street racing the cops would just roll on by and bust everyone else,the only problem was the bleeding from the ears it was loud with 1/2 the engine inside the cabin.There is also a 69 z28 with a 426 crossram hemi owned by peter gratz(old doorslammer racer rhats been on the street here for quite a while.Cross breed cars are like cross breed dogs none of the genitic faults that that the pure breeds have.

No one is going to polish up a 40yr old mopar and go as fast as you can with a street-able late model for the same cash. For the money I spent on just paint and body work on my Duster, I could be deep in the 10s in just about any late model chassis with a turbo LS including the car/truck.

Cheap, Fast, Mopar. Pick two.

Many years ago, we had a local guy with a Hemi in 55 Chevy panel called Rat Patrol. Loved that car!

I think early in the Rettig Brothers career, they had Don Wann piloting a 57 Chevy with a (supposedly) 383 wedge.

Myself, I think a hot small block mopar in a 62-64 Nova post would be cool.

The other combo that I'd like see is a small black mopar in a Datsun 240z, or 510 coupe. Or even a 510 wagon!

A friend of mine has a Dart with a built bored and stroked Caddilac 547 engine, he says it fits the car quite well. Street and strip, lots of torque.... It is the "Dartilac"

I have a Mopar powered 68 Buick.



I also have a 1972 Buick GS I'm hoping a Hemi fits into.

If you go to, Hustling Hoosier Facebook, there is a video with our new NMCA NA 10.50 car, a 1988 hatchback. It has a 632 wedge in it and runs 5.0's which converted to 1/4 times is very near the nmca record. Factory rear end, and factory rear sus. 28 x 10.50 tires no bars. We are at 1 min 52 seconds in. The car is now disassembled to be beautified. Will be at Bradenton in March to start the 2015 NMCA season. "GO MOPAR"!

Looks like a good idea, but...

Why do you think the hot ones are stroked 302 engines and not 351 engines?

No room under the hood.
302 deck height: 8.206"
351W deck height: 9.500"
LA deck height: 9.600"





Ha. BBF 10.300" deck height.

As far as cross breeds go, I am dying to do a turbo GenIII swap in this car. It's just not in the cards quite yet....

Under the stock 83 hood. I have also considered an RB swap in the car.

Keep the BBF in there!!!

I am no Ford guy, but would LOVE to build a big inch Ford motor and stick it in a fox chassis car! They can make MEGA power, and if your gonna go through the hassle of building a small block for a street car, a huge inch pump gas motor just makes more sense imo

It's staying a BBF for a while. It is currently out of the car getting getting a few more cubes (545 to a 552), some cylinder head upgrades and maybe a 150 shot of N2O even though it is limited to 9.99.

It's a fun car, runs on 91, drive to the track, race it, drive it home, forget about it until next time, repeat.

I recall to of my favs from back in the day. My brother's buddy had a Hemi in a 55 Panel wagon: Rat Patrol.

I seem to recall Retting Bros having a blue 57 Chevy with a Mopar wedge in it around the same time.

I would LOVE to do a SBM in a 62-64 Nova(post)sedan.
