I just picked up a set of 1957 Hemi Industrial heads and I'm thinking FED build using maybe an old Poly block since Hemi motors are hard to come by and I heard most of the LA reciprocating parts fit the poly block.
lol I'll just add it to the current list of projects including:
1970 Dart Drag car
1969 Barracuda 383 formula S build
1969 Roadrunner street/strip car build
1969 Roadrunner Drag Car build
1969 Power Wagon 4 door build
1971 Power Wagon short bed build
1967 Camaro Drag car build
1981 Malibu Drag car build
3 Cummins trucks with auto trans issues
3 Chevy Suburbans 1 running
3 Jet Boats in various stages of disrepair
WOW! Suddenly my list doesn't look too bad anymore and seem almost accomplishable.  Beep

We've sold off a ton of stuff the last two years, and it's helped to finance the Duster upgrades. Lots of empty shelf space now!

Yeah I'm thinking if I get rid of all the chevy stuff I'll kill two birds, wait, birds isn't the right wording, I'll clear out space and purify my Mopar soul at the same time!

I hope I never run out of dreams, and what others think, who cares. Just enjoy yourself, at one one point, none of it will matter anyway.

Nearly done with a resto on a 1977 Yamaha RD 400.
Once it warms up , it will be swapping a 340 for the incline in my '80 Volare wagon and buttoning that up for Momma to play in.
It looks pretty easy when you type it out.
Cool, I used to have an RD 350 many moons ago...

You always have some cool stuff Mr Pbody, and I have the perfect duck boat project for you, a very rare 1973 Spectra 24' Daycruiser with a Jaccuzzi jet drive! All it needs is a motor, interior, and refinish! Such a bargain!

Not that I want to mess with your project count but I'm pretty sure that those heads will only fit a Chrysler poly block up to 58.
The Poly "A" motor won't work because the bore space is wider.

I met a business friend of my Dad's many years ago.. In between talking about work stuff, he took a moment to walk me thru his garage and showed me all his projects.. I thought to myself that if this guy retired and did nothing but work on his projects, he'd die before he got half of them done... and from that moment on I realized how one must be wise when taking on too many projects.. So I can easily say all my projects are "manageable" right now.. and they'd be done is money wasnt an issue
