Well Saturday was a big day for me with this project, I was finally able to hear it run for the first time. The engine was ran in on dyno and they made about 10 passes before I actually took possession of it, but this was the first time for me hearing it in person and it running in the car. It’s interesting as I think about this car, the last tags that are on it are from 78-79 time frame and it had a 383 4 speed in it at that time. In doing research it was originally sold new at Pioneer Dodge in San Jose, California and before leaving there, the hemi engine, original 4 speed and the Dana 60 had all been swapped out to the 383, 4 speed, and 8 3/4 rear axle. My guess is early 70’s the original parts were removed and it made its way to PA. So we can safely say it has been 45 plus years since a hemi has ran inside the fenders of this car. I’ll try to post a couple videos. Matt

Cool, I know its an amazing feeling to hear it run. Sounds WICKED.Makes mine sounds like a 318
Gonna be close now to actually feeling how well it pulls thru the gears
I still remember the day the car I now own started for the 1st time. And that was almost 20 years before the reality sit in I was about to own it. So Ive had a double giggle moment with mine
Enjoy life today, It has an expiration date
