Anyway, still on the March to find a home for the drivetrain. Not many Dodges out there with most being utter junk with no hope of resurrection to really nice rods. Haven’t given up looking for a roller however I’m open to more options. One is the do a Walter/Henry rod or maybe piss off the Chevy crowd with a Mopar powered Chev rod adorned with Mopar related parts. The whole plan is to be different.
Anyway, I was at our Friday afternoon gathering. I ran into this guy with the old Ford Hotrod. What caught my attention was the 348 he was running. Proportionally that motor is pretty close to that of the baby Hemi with the Hemi weighing close to what the SBC weighs. The guy invited me over to his place next week where he has some rollers that are available. The guy is in his mid 80s and is totally old skool

I mis-read your answer about the transmission you're going to run. I thought it was an RH instead of an RE. Just wondering what kind of controller you are planning on for the transmission?

a 392 with a blower would be cool as well. in fact, i have two 392's on the shelf i had planned to combine into one to install into my 33 dodge panel truck, however, the cost to build these things is almost out of my price range, and i don't think i have enough birthdays left to save up enough to build one like i would want to. i am now pondering whether to sell them or not. i have seen a couple of complete examples with blowers installed at carlisle over the years for less than 10k, but while that looks like a good price, i wonder what one would find upon tear down for a check and refresh ? that might reveal a "not so good a deal after all.........." ![beer beer](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/beer.gif)

Went to the HEMI show here in Phoenix, good show. Anyway, walking through the swap and came across this. Greg from SS/AFX has it at his swap spot. He knew it was early Hemi but didn’t know which Hemi. He’s a GenII Hemi guy. I took one look at it and seeing it was small, had to be a small Red Ram. Did some checking and it was. So, after trying to dig up the money I took it off his hands. Got it home and fitted it right up, fits like a glove. Ole Greg gave me a good deal on it.

Very cool intake. I love multi-carbs on anything. Even my Hemi in my car and for my next build.

That intake looks right at home on the HEMI. A little time in a bead blast cabinet and it will look brand new. Carbs may be a bit pricey but at least they are available.
Nice score.

Yeah, no kidding on being pricey. $1500 pricey and that doesn’t include all the things need to set up like linkage, return springs, gaskets etc. But hay, it’s just money.

Yeah, they didn't just call Strombergs 'leakers' for no reason.
